Tinago Falls

A curtain-like waterfall hidden in a deep gorge, with a deep blue pool below; you can take a bamboo raft to a small cave behind the falls.

'Tinago' means 'hidden', and the falls lie at the bottom of a gorge on the outskirts of Iligan, reached by descending about 500 steps. The water spills into a deep pool in a broad curtain. You can swim, or rent a bamboo raft and paddle beneath the falls, where there is a small stone cave. Entry costs a few tens of pesos. The return climb is tiring, so bring water and non-slip shoes. It is about 95 km from Cagayan de Oro and is often visited together with Maria Cristina Falls.
