Hinulugang Taktak location in Philippines map

Hinulugang Taktak name was derived from a large bell (taktak) which was thrown (hinulog) into the falls during the 15th century or the 16th century because the local villagers considered it too loud. Since then, it has become known as Hinulugang Taktak or the place where the bell fell. Being one of Antipolo's iconic destinations, the other being the Antipolo Cathedral, Hinulugang Taktak is featured in the hymn Antipolo composed by German San Jose in 1929. The lyrics indicate that even at the time, it was already a popular recreational area. The falls have a height of 21.5 meters (70.5 feet) and a width of 25.8 meters (84.6 feet). The rocks beneath the Quaternary soil are Miocene layers. However, the area itself is susceptible to erosion, landslides, and earthquakes.
