Maria Christina Falls



Iligan’s greatest heritage, the landmark of Iligan City. The most resplendent among the 20 plus waterfalls. Also known as the “Mother of Industry” and “Fountainhead of Progress.” It is 320 feet high, spews 130 cubic meters per second of water and the veritable source of industrial power in the city. Located at the borders of Barangay Maria Cristina, Ditucalan and Buru-un 9.3 kilometers away from the city proper. Since its water is being harnessed for electric power, full grandeur viewing of the waterfalls is every Saturdays and Sundays at 11:00 in the morning.    




Mimbalot Falls


a not so high and mighty falls with a drop of approximately 90 feet high and is 18 ft. wide, but very alluring with its naturally limpid water. It is a site to behold and provides an enjoyable swimming spot, 11.0 kilometers away from the city proper. 


Tinago Falls
Linamon Lanao Del Norte







is a waterfall in Iligan City, Lanao del Norte in the southern Philippine island of Mindanao. It is one of the primary tourist attractions in Iligan, a city best-known as the City of Majestic Waterfalls. Tinago is a Filipino term meaning “hidden”, the falls being hidden in a deep ravine. Trekking to the falls takes about 500 descending steps called the winding staircase.
