Tinago Falls by you.

Some facts, I gathered.

Tinago Falls is a waterfall in Iligan City, Lanao del Norte in the southern Philippine island of Mindanao[1]. It is one of the main tourist attractions in Iligan, a city known as the City of Majestic Waterfalls.

Tinago is a Filipino term meaning “hidden”, the falls being hidden in a deep ravine. Trekking to the falls requires approximately 500 descending steps called the winding staircase.

The falls is approximately 240 feet (73 m) 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 people can enter and listen to the rumbling waters.

Splashing by you.

We decided to go there earlier because the steps might be slippery because the day before was raining. We went there with my siblings and if you have a highblood pressure this isn’t the best place to visit. I had a hard time going down and much more going up! With more than 300 plus steps inorder to witness the falls up close, it’s not a good place for those who have heart problems.But worth a try specially for photo buffs like me:) Entrance is 5 pesos per adult if you aren’t goign to take a deep in the lagoon. 10 pesos if you are plus the 25 pesos rent for the must wear life jacket! You have to wear a life jacket because the lagoon is 55 feet deep :) Pretty scary huh! I still have tons of photos to share but will do that later:)
