Maria Cristina Falls
A twin-tiered waterfall about 98 m high in Iligan, the water source for a hydroelectric plant, known as a 'Philippine industrial wonder'.
The falls lie on the Agus River on the outskirts of Iligan. The main falls split into two streams, and right beside them is the hydroelectric plant that supplies power to Mindanao, so the water flow is controlled. From the NPC Nature Park you can view the falls from a lookout and a suspension bridge, and the park also has a zip line. Iligan is about 90 km from Cagayan de Oro, roughly 1.5–2 hours' drive, and it is often visited on the same day as Tinago Falls.
