Maria Cristina Falls, Waterfall near Iligan City, Philippines
Maria Cristina Falls stands at 98 meters high, featuring two parallel water streams that cascade down the cliffs of the Agus River.
The Spanish queen Maria Christina of Austria inspired the naming of these falls, which began generating hydroelectric power for Mindanao in 1953.
The waterfall maintains a central position in local traditions, with inhabitants considering it a symbol of natural power and regional prosperity.
Visitors can access the falls through guided tours departing from Iligan City, with November to April offering the most favorable viewing conditions.
The water flow splits into two distinct streams at the precipice due to a natural rock formation, earning its designation as Twin Falls.
