I can’t remember when was the last time I went to this majestic falls. I repeatedly come back to her whether or not I can go down easily or not. Tinago falls, proud to say, is among the most beautiful falls in the world.
Tinago falls is one of the 32 falls in Iligan City that is open to the public. In the early 90’s, the falls was yet to be reached by people because you have to go down in a difficult terrain. On the half of the 90’s era, a resort was made on the area. They made the stairs downwards so that people can easily go down. The resort was closed because of mismanagement but the stairs remain. Today what is wonderful is that Tinago falls was engrossed again with mother earth, the ghost of the past resort was engulfed in nature’s structures.
Tinago was named so because the falls is located in a gorge-like area. It is enclosed by the two mountains bordering between side of Buru-un, Iligan City and Linamon, Lanao del Norte. Between each side are local entrance areas were people ask for donations.
Tinago is a deep falls with crisp blue to dark emerald green waters. I will always remember that even though Papa had a very difficult time going down because of his arthritis he went down with us and enjoyed the place. He marveled at the beauty.
Fast forward 2014, Tinago Falls is still very beautiful. It is still iconic and breathtaking. So when you do come by to our place, visit Tinago and drool over her.
