Tinago Falls


Tinago Falls,
one of the main tourist attractions in Iligan, a city known as the City of Majestic Waterfalls. Tinago is a Filipino word meaning "hidden", the falls being hidden in a deep ravine. And true enough, so hidden that you really have to find your way to see its beauty! Trekking to the falls is approximately 500 descending steps called the winding staircase. It is said that Tinago Falls is a sanctuary for weary souls seeking to commune with nature. The trip to the falls actually exposes you to a variety of wildlife. Today, the trail they say is refurbished into a wildlife park hosting different species of wild animals. But when we got there, we only saw Cats (as in stray cats) and Dogs.


The falls is approximately 240-feet high, its very cold waters cascading beautifully into a deep and calm basin-like pool which appears like a blue-colored lagoon. Under the falls is a small cave where you can enter and listen to the rumbling waters. The foot of the falls is a very ideal place for swimming. The place also has man-made swimming pool for kids. It is truly a majestic place that resounds an atmosphere of serenity, a perfect escape from the noisy metropolitan.


You should consider checking it out to see our Nature's beauty =)
