sanity of artists for centuries, but without artists the<br />
world would be a far poorer place.<br />
Tuddingan Falls<br />
Besides being popular with surfers, for those<br />
interested in the natural world La Union has several<br />
majestic waterfalls, one of which, the Tuddingan<br />
Falls, is located at Barangay Tuddingan, a 15 minute<br />
ride from Naguilian. Forming the shape of an arm<br />
and hand with extended fingers this wa-terfall is<br />
best visited just after the rainy season ... around August<br />
to December. For the best views of the falls, walk up<br />
the 700m cement pathway to the summit overlooking<br />
the waterfall. The path is lined with trees and shrubs<br />
and with the sound of animals and flowing water<br />
in the background has an invigorating freshness<br />
during the short hike. Tuddingan Falls is ideal for<br />
nature lovers, with its 70ft waterfall made<br />
picturesque by the uniquely beautiful layered rock<br />
strata from which it flows down to a catch-pool that<br />
is ideal for swimming.<br />
Tangadan Falls<br />
Visitors to these falls need to do a little work to<br />
reach them as they’re about a 30 minute tricycle ride<br />
from San Juan, followed by a 60 minute hike. Once<br />
there, <strong>ABW</strong> recommends hiring a tour guide; these<br />
guys are informative and make the hike through rice<br />
fields, streams and rocky areas along the trail more<br />
pleasant, and with a guide visitors are unlikely to get<br />
lost. Before reaching the falls, there is a cliff diving<br />
area, with three diving spots and a mini sari-sari<br />
store near the cliff which rent life vests to anyone<br />
daft enough to dive off a cliff. On reaching the falls
