Tinago Falls

Tinago Falls is one of the more than 20 waterfalls found in Iligan City, also known as the City of Majestic Waterfalls.  Don’t leave Iligan City without seeing this breathtaking beauty.  The falls is high, about 240 feet and has multiple cascades that fall into a basin-like pool where people can enjoy the refreshing cool water.  Aside from swimming, visitors can also cliff dive, ride the bamboo raft, and have picnics as there are tables near the edges of the river.  

The falls is hidden in a lush jungle, hence the name “tinago”, a local word for hidden.

Reaching the falls requires a 10-minute trek and descending a concrete winding staircase with more than 300 steps.  But despite the effort to get there, it is definitely worth it as the sight is breathtaking and the experience is something you will never forget.
