500 DESCENDING STEPS DOWN TO PARADISE: TINAGO FALLS!

My first Iligan escapade experience way back April 5, 2009 can be viewed HERE. It was very fulfilling and it made me wish to visit this magnificent wonder once again.

CY2016 is one of the busiest years in my life. Much as I’d like to travel to places I’ve never set my foot onto, time sadly didn’t permit. Rest days are very limited and often unannounced. The saddest part is that whenever privilege pass or rest day is given to us, money will not cooperate. With a very tight budget, I opted to travel to neighboring region to say hello to beautiful scenery once again.

Five years has flown by so fast. Few years ago, I planned to have a waterfall hopping around Iligan City. Considering that I had an ample time for long travels before, I have had chosen Visayas as my top priority rather than Iligan since I already witnessed its numerous tourist attractions before. Now that the word time turned out to be a mere privilege and journeying to distant places became a big risk, I decided to include Iligan City in my 2016 bucketlist.

Iligan City is one of the best travel options I ever had. It is widely known for its various waterfalls and resorts. One of its assets is the Tinago Falls which nestled in Brgy. Linamon. Tinago is local dialect which simply means hidden.  Indeed, it is hidden paradise filled with mystery. The said place is definitely ideal for holiday vacation, recreation and other forms of leisure.

Going there is fairly easy. You just have to ride a jeepney bound to Borobon and tell the driver that you are heading to Tinago Falls. They will then drop you in area where habal-habal bound for Tinago Falls.

“You will always get what you deserve” as the popular saying goes by. Getting in touch with the majestic waterfall maybe quite exhausting but definitely it’s worth the pain. That more or less 500 descending steps to savor the coldness of the tempting falls is never easy.
