City of Waterfalls

Iligan is nestled in the midst of luxuriant natural beauty of Northern Mindanao. It is a city truly blessed and nurtured by Mother Nature. It is protected from typhoons by natural barriers; its terrain is hugged by a long stretch of shoreline along the Iligan Bay.
Its mountains and lush forests hide numerous waterfalls in its embrace, earning for itself the title “City of Waterfalls.” The most famous, enchanting and the most awesome of these is the Maria Cristina Falls along the Agus River. Agus and Maria Cristina are sources of hydro electric power for most of Mindanao’s requirements. Spring like Timoga and Taytay are sources of cool and pristine water for swimming resorts that provide relief from summer heat. The coastline as well offers beaches and picnic grounds.

The rich soil, even rainfall distribution, and ideal topography provide suitable conditions for diverse agricultural ventures.

With all the natural wonders and blessing bestowed upon the city, the most prized asset of iligan is still the warm and vibrant hospitality of its people. Both natives and people of different ethnicity all come together to make iligan their home.

I’m very thankful that I got chances to go and witnessed the truly creature of God and nurtured by Mother Nature.

Getting there in Iligan City is very easy. You could use this as the best option; take a plane ride from Manila to Cagayan de Oro (1.5hours) then while at the City of Friendship airport just take a taxi ride (20-30mins.) and ask the driver to drop you at the Bus terminal going to Iligan City (choose the meter taxi only). The traveling time from CDO bus terminal to Iligan City bus terminal is just 1.5 – 2 hours at the fare amount of 120Php aircon bus and when you reached the Iligan City just rent a taxi going to Natures Park of Iligan City where the Maria Cristina falls located because from the national road to park’s gate had almost 1 kilometers distance and also from the Nature Park's gate to Maria Cristina Falls.
