Tuwang-Tuwangon Falls is a waterfall located in Sitio Aglongon, Brgy. Duran, Dumalag, Capiz, covering 0.035 hectares and surrounded by various native trees. It has a vertical drop flowing over rock formations and is the largest of the three waterfalls in the area, with a depth of about 10 feet. The name “Tuwang-Tuwangon” means carrying two things in opposite directions, as it lies between two other waterfalls. Locals visit the falls for relaxation, swimming, and gathering, especially during hot seasons, and some collect clean water from rocks around the area. The falls also hold scientific value due to their unique plant and animal life and potential for geological and environmental studies. However, the area faces threats like littering and lack of visitor regulations, and no formal conservation policy has been created yet by the local government.
