Tinago Falls is nearby, between Iligan City and Linamon; Timoga Springs, Sikyop Adventure, Maria Cristina Falls and Paseo de Santiago are in the municipality.

Waterfalls: Height and Form

Tinago Falls is nearby, between Iligan City and Linamon in Lanao del Norte. The 240-foot waterfall plunges into a tranquil, deep turquoise lagoon in a deep gorge. Maria Cristina Falls, in the municipality, is 321.5 feet (98 meters) high; a large rock divides the cascade into two streams. The two waterfalls differ in both height and form: Maria Cristina is higher, while Tinago’s combination of gorge and lagoon creates a different type of landscape.

Pools and Additional Facilities

At Timoga Springs in the municipality, there are swimming pools with flowing water, as well as picnic huts, snack bars, cottages, tables and chairs. Timoga Cold Springs in the municipality features swimming pools with continuously flowing, unchlorinated water. Water quality and additional facilities are two distinct points to consider when planning. If a particular facility at Timoga Springs is important to you, check its current availability before visiting.

Active Experiences at Sikyop Adventure

Sikyop Adventure in Sitio Lawlawon, Barangay Rogongon, offers trekking along an underground river, canopy views and visits to Pagangon Falls.

Paseo de Santiago by the Sea
