Camaya Waterfalls-3 or Camaya Falls-3 is the smallest and most easily accessed of the three waterfalls in Camaya Coast, Mariveles in the south-western part of the Bataan peninsula in the island of Luzon in the Philippines.[1] It is one of the main tourist attractions in Camaya Coast, a residential-beach resort area currently under development.
The forest where the waterfalls is located contains many dipterocarps, orchids, and vines and other plant species including tsaang gubat.[2] Various species of fungi growing in tree trunks have been documented.
There are a number of interesting animals that inhabit the area in and around the three waterfalls in Camaya. The most notable include: the Japanese Sparrowhawk, the endangered Philippine Eagle (Pithecophaga Jefferyi) commonly known as the “monkey-eating eagle, the Philippine Eagle Owl, the Rufous Hornbill (Buceros hydrocorax) which is locally known as kalaw, the endangered Giant golden-crowned flying fox (Acerodon jubatus) which can only be found in the Philippines. Philippine deers (erroneously reported by some as wild goats) and crab-eating macaques were also recently spotted in the area.[3]
