Tinago Falls, Waterfall in Lanao del Norte, Philippines
The 240-foot Tinago Falls plunges into a basin pool with multiple cascades surrounded by rocks in the northern part of Mindanao island.
The local government and residents of Iligan City initiated conservation programs in the 1990s to maintain water quality through agro-forestry projects.
Local folklore tells of an enchantress who transformed a hidden child into the waterfall after the parents, a sultan and his wife, denied her request.
Visitors need to descend 500 concrete steps to reach the falls, where they can rent bamboo rafts and life jackets for water activities.
A small cave near the base of the falls allows swimmers to enter and experience the thunderous sounds of cascading water from different angles.
