All the way from Cavite, we visited one of Iligan's hidden gem, the Tinago Falls, after approximately 5 hours from the airport. It's named after it's location description which means "hidden". From the jump-off, you will descend approximately 500 steps to the falls and will witness the cascading waters splash down on it's huge pool-like basin. This fascinating scene is truly a reward for everyone who will visit the place.
The main falls approximately 200 feet gave me a misty effect on my photos with a glaze from the sun's rays hiding behind trees. They said this scene usually happen when huge amount of waters rage in.
4 Things to do
Here are activities you will surely never regret to experience once you got here.
1. Swimming on the bluish green water basin - After 500 steps from the jump-off to the falls, it's really inviting to swim at once on it's deep cold waters. Guides give every visitors life jacket each for safety purposes.
2. Climbing to the small falls - Aside from the main attraction of the place,the main falls, there were also minis found nearby. It was really fun to swim from the cottage area to the rock area where you will climb to reach the top most part of it. Very exciting and nice to have picture takings.
3. Diving on the deepest portion of the basin - The thing I am really scared of is to jump on a high point into the waters. I was amazed by those people who jumped as high as the main falls as they hold through the trees's roots and suddenly let go, dive and perform exhibitions.
4. Getting closer to the main falls via a raft - This magnificent place was truly captivating as you reach towards the falls through a bamboo raft. Yes, you can get closer to it by pulling the rope while on the raft. As you get closer, you'll feel colder and colder due to rambling waters falling from the highest point of the falls. Pulled harder till you get nearer, and slipped on the slippery surface of the bamboos harder too. lol. Don't worry you have a guide with you that will help all the way till you get back to the starting point.
