Tinago Falls

Normally, people who go to Iligan consult with a tour guide or bring someone who knows a bit about the place, otherwise, you’ll risk getting lost. The name Tinago Falls is apt since “Tinago” means “hidden” in Filipino. There are so few road signs that should point the way up the mountain. Once you arrive, you pay only 10Php (2007) to get in then it’s 365 steps down (and 365 steps up) to Tinago Falls. It’s a bit steep and not advisable for people with heart problems but once you get down the steps, the view is SO worth it. There are very few people who go there to swim and so the area is very clean. A dip in the cool water is not at all that chilly but is as soft almost like cool gel. A lot of thrillseekers try climbing to dive but before you should do so, watch out for the rocks! It’s not just a destination for me. It’s an unforgettable experience.
