The name “Lagsakan” carries with it a fascinating origin, hailing from the term “lapus-lapus,” which essentially translates to “lead from one another.” This waterfall is nestled within the enchanting landscapes of Brgy. Passi, Igbaras, Iloilo, but reaching it can be an adventure in itself, taking travelers 2-4 hours to access. The allure of Lagsakan lies in its turquoise waters, a hidden gem that beckons tourists despite the challenging journey it takes to reach it. Perched at the pinnacle of the farthest barangay in Kiput Area, Igcabugao, Lagsakan is a testament to nature’s majesty. Its pristine waters cascade gracefully, eventually merging with the Nadsadjan and Tangyan Rivers.
Beyond its aesthetic charm, Lagsakan serves a crucial role as a source of irrigation for farmers in the lowland areas. It’s a lifeline for agriculture, nourishing the fields that sustain the community. However, Lagsakan is not the sole wonder that Igcabugao has to offer. This region is brimming with natural beauty, from lush landscapes to vibrant communities. It stands as a testament to the rich tapestry of culture and nature that graces the Philippines, making it a destination well worth the journey for those seeking to connect with the heart of this beautiful country.
