Tinago Falls in ILIGAN CITY

It has always been one of my dreams to experience what other people have experienced when they swim or dive into the mere like tinago falls. My new found friends in PKI will go there last January 24, 2016. It was so much fun and enjoy even if it too far but it’s worth it to experienced.

It was my First time experience to visit tinago falls; we take some photos and videos of the place for posting in my blog and also to have souvenir photos of tinago falls nature.

To reach the falls, you have to trek down a winding staircase with about 250 steps.The task can be a long and difficult one so that families with small children are not advised to take the trek for safety. Those who do want to visit a waterfall but find it difficult to trek down Tinago Falls can check out the other falls in the city, including the grand Maria Cristina Falls which is very accessible and set in a family-friendly nature park. In fact, most tourists visit the Maria Cristina Falls first then proceed to Tinago so that the latter can get crowded in the afternoon. To those who are willing and able to take the stairs down to the falls,the view along the way is beautiful and the breathtaking destination is well worth the sweat and effort you spent. A swim in the cold waters can jar your senses but could also provide rejuvenation after the long trek.





It is the waterfall’s way of welcoming and thanking you for taking the time to take the difficult jaunt just for a visit.

You can bring as much food as you want to because there are no corkage fees to be paid. But you also have to remember that you have to lug down all your supplies down the winding stairs to reach the falls. It would be best to pack light and bring just ample food to enjoy. Still, if you didn’t bring supplies, there is a mini sari sari store where you can buy some bread, drinks, and other snack items.


Another option is to hire a guide who will also take the task of bringing your belongings. This way, you will have lesser burden as you navigate down the stairways. How much you give the guide really depends on you. He might ask for a specific fee but you can always add some few pesos to the amount, especially if he has to bring lots of food and luggage along.



A lot of tourists are disappointed that they can’t swim at the Maria Cristina Falls – that could be deadly! Those who wish to experience swimming under a waterfall can do so at Tinago Falls, easily endearing it to the hearts of many tourists. So, aside from food (and cameras, of course!), don’t forget to bring extra clothes for swimming.




It is also possible to experience the cascades directly down your body by enjoying a raft ride. The ride is safe and can accommodate a group. Just be prepared for the strong force of the water on your skin, though it won’t be pounding too hard. The raft ride is available for a fee.
