Tinago, meaning “hidden” is indeed hidden in a lush forest in city of Iligan. The way going to the falls has many entrances and depends on where your driver drops you, you either have to walk a kilometer going to the falls or a few steps. Either way will take you to a 200+ steps going down to see the falls. Going down is easy, going back up is hell. But hey, don’t wrong! As with any other beautiful; worth-going to , or in this case; worth-trekking places, you gotta sweat a little to enjoy paradise.
welcome to Tinago Falls!
Didn’t know it’s going to be a long walk so we leisurely dilly dally and took selfie.
An old swimming pool on what used to be a resort in this area. It is now a favorite resting place of the carabaos.
Our little guide sure listened during history class. This cutie tattletale told us the resort was once owned by a politician who lost in the last election and in the process went bankrupt, hence, the neglected resort.
Ruins of what used to be the resort kitchen.
…because you know it is so difficult to pass by this big boulder without taking a pose.
The way down to the falls.
Afraid for mankind to do their barbaric thing, Mother Nature made sure this one is hidden perfectly.
But surprise!! There is a retail store down below.
The mist was powerful.
It’s the height of summer, locals and visitors flock to this place to cool off.
Go on! Ride the raft and experience being under the harsh fall of waters at the feet of this majestic waterfalls!
literally under the waterfalls!
