Tinago Falls

This majestic waterfall captured the attention of travelers worldwide because of its grandeur. The crystal clear and cool water falling by the walls of the artistic rock formation creates a world-class, picturesque - such picture-perfect landscape. On the other hand, the area is surrounded by greens that help preserve the tranquility and relaxing atmosphere. Tinago Falls of Iligan City is the top tourist attraction in Lanao del Norte. By the way, its name literally translates to "hidden" in English.

A stunning photo of Tinago Falls. 

Tinago Falls hides in the mountainous area of Iligan, Lanao del Norte. Among the waterfalls in the Philippines, it is one of the must-visit because of the beauty it possesses. Not only that, there are historical sites, lakes, and cold springs that can also be visited. Let's not forget that the province has a rich history and colorful culture because the locals have a good combination of Muslim, Christian, and other Minorities.

Paseo de Santiago

My Iligan City habal tour ended at the Paseo de Santiago, a seaside complex with several food stalls and shops. Since it's seaside, of course, it's by the beach, and the sound of the waves makes the area cosy with the cool breeze - a perfect spot to relax. Others would call it a "hangout area" where you can have a few bottles of beer and "ihaw-ihaw," with someone performing on the mini stage. The area is wide with an instagrammable landscape which includes the gorgeous fortress (photo above), a wide map of the Philippines on the ground and the statue of Lapu-Lapu on the other side. The perfect time to visit this place is during sunset. It is privately owned; thus, entrance fees are being collected.
