Francis Ford Coppola chose Pagsanjan , 80km southeast of Manila, as the location for the final scenes in Apocalypse Now. Tourists come here not for its Hollywood memorabilia value, however, but to shoot the fourteen rapids down the Bombongan River from the Magdapio Waterfalls. The local bangkeros have become adept at manoeuvering their canoes between the boulders, but have also gained a reputation for being hard-nosed when the time comes to demand a tip. Prices are already rather steep for the seven-kilometre thrill ride, starting at more than P1000 for a single passenger or P580 if there are two or three of you. Tour operators in Manila recently boycotted the falls because they felt charges were too high, although it seems many of

them are once again offering day tours that you can book in the capital. Bridges Travel (tel 02/867 1186) has a tour for US$55 for a minimum of two people, including lunch at the Riverside Hotel. It's best to get to the falls early before the hordes arrive and to avoid weekends if possible. The last rapids trip is usually a couple of hours before sundown, at around 4pm. The rapids are at their most thrilling in the wet season, while during the dry season the ride is much more sedate.
