Kipot Falls is a 1.5-hectare natural site along the Kapungoy River between Brgy. Jaena Sur and Brgy. Agloloway in Jamindan, Capiz, known for its clear water, scenic beauty, and unique rock formation called “dalipi.” It is a favorite local destination for swimming, picnics, and even doing laundry, especially during summer. The name "Kipot" means "narrow," describing the area’s shape, and the water is about 20 feet deep, with small fish often seen. The site has long been used by locals for daily needs like bathing and fishing, and old tales of crocodiles were told to keep children from wandering alone. Kipot Falls is valued both for its peaceful social setting and for its natural beauty, which strengthens community ties. While local officials lead clean-up drives, issues like littering, especially broken bottles, remain a threat, though the area is under protection as part of a military reservation.
