Hello Steemit friends! Welcome to my blog!
Today, I'm gonna show you the beauty of my City, a.k.a: the city of waterfalls, ILIGAN CITY! Yes! You heard it right, it is known as "the city of waterfalls" because my city has 23 waterfalls on it. It is hardly-know by others, that's why I want to show you how beautiful it is. Then maybe I'll see you around any of these days! :)
MARIA CRISTINA FALLS
This often symbolizes Iligan City and it is the most popular of all because it is used to generate hydroelectric power, it supports 70% of the total electricity supply in Mindanao, the southern island of the Philippines. It's located in the southwest part of Iligan City, in Barangay Buru-un. It is easily accessible by jeepney, taxi or any private vehicle.!TINAGO FALLS
It's name is derived from the local dialect Tinago, which means "hidden" in English. It is literally hidden because it's not easily accessible. It is found in the heart of the mountain. So you'll need a long footwalk along the mountainside to reach this unbelievable beauty. It is considered as the most enchanting falls. It is located at the boundary of Brgy. Purakan, Linamon and Brgy. Ditucalan of Iligan City.DODIONGAN FALLS
Dodiongan Falls is a 20-metre (65.5 ft) high waterfall located in Barangay Bonbonon, 14 km away from Iligan City in Lanao del Norte province of the Philippines. Trekking in the mountainous area is part of the journey when going to this falls.MIMBALOT FALLS
The waterfall is a popular spot for locals to bathe and wash their clothes – you can easily chat with them or ask additional info about the area and other nice spots to visit in the vicinity. Mimbalot Falls is the city’s most accessible waterfall, with its location just 500 from the highway.
The waterfall is actually part of Iligan Paradise Resort and Eco Park where you can find a number of fun activities to enjoy. Inside the resort, you can also enjoy zip line rides over majestic views. The zip lines come with different harnesses that you can choose based on your own preference. You can try the single harness or the superman. Those who would love to try the zip line but afraid to do it alone can ride in tandem secured on a double harness with a companion.
There’s also cable car where you can ride to enjoy the stunning views without the added adrenaline rush experienced in zip line rides. It is also possible to enjoy tours across the resort aboard all-terrain vehicles (ATVs) for a fee. Dirty biking is also available at the resort.
