Kaangrian Falls is a natural waterfall and popular tourist attraction in Burgos, Ilocos Norte, Philippines.[1]

Located in Barangay Agaga, this multilayered falls is 40 minutes away from the city proper.[2] It gets its name “Kaangrian” from the Ilocano term “naangri” that translates to stinky. This is due to the smell of bat droppings from the nearby bat caves.[3]
