The Philippines is rich in natural resources specifically bodies of water. That's why there are many islands, rivers, and waterfalls that we, Filipinos, are proud to call our own.

One of the famous tourist spots in the Philippines, Iligan City, houses the most number of waterfalls in the country. The so-called 'City of Majestic Waterfalls' located in Lanao del Norte is said to be blessed with a total of 24 waterfalls.

In a recent episode of iJuander, Iliganon vlogger Ace Lubang took us on a tour of three of their breathtaking waterfalls that's surely one of the books.

Tinago Falls

From the name itself, Tinago Falls is a hidden waterfall in Iligan City that's 200 ft. tall. It's famous among tourists from all over the world because of its beautiful blue lagoon.

Legend has it that the broad cold lagoon is the child of a powerful sultan back in the day. The sultan and his wife were said to be arrogant leaders which caused a goddess to curse their child and make her look ugly. Tin-ag, the child, grew up inside a cave because her parents wanted to keep her hidden.

When the child grew up, she went outside of the cave and was amazed by the beauty of nature. Later on, the goddess who cursed her offered to change her appearance into a great beauty and was turned into the “Hidden Falls.”

Although the story is purely a legend, many people believed it and have sparked curiosity among tourists. This made the Tinago Falls the most visited waterfalls in Iligan.
