Iligan is an industrial town with factories in the outskirts. The nearby Maria Cristina Falls will be the main source of power for the neigbouring districs as far as Zamboanga. The hydro-electric power station so dominates the landscape that it's more likely to appeal to the technically minded than to nature lovers. To get to the falls, take a jeepney from the pier to Agus Bridge, about sevem km away, turn left after the bridge and walk for about half an hour. You can't swim in the pool as the river is a raging torrent and far too dangerous; the attraction is to look down on the falls from above by going about 200m back towards Iligan from the Agus Bridge, where a path and concrete steps lead straight to the waterfall.
In contrast, the Tinago Falls also known as the Hidden Falls have been left in their beautiful natural state and are not marred by contruction. They must be amongst the most beautiful waterfalls on Mindanao. It is a real pleasure to go for a dip in the big, natural pool there. At the entrance to the Tinagao Falls you will find the Tinago Residence Inn, a resort with a small zoo, children's play area and overnight accommodation, including a few tree houses.
