Timoga Cold Spring Resort - Iligan City


As I have mentioned in my previous post,
before I went here in Timoga. 


Here in Timoga, the entrance fee is 50 pesos and yes it will surely worth your pay. It’s as a small resort compared to Maze Park but they have their “own uniqueness”  from the other resort like for example the water in their pools is from the spring so that means that the water is spring cold and of course flowing. Nothing beats Iligan City in terms of abundance of fresh waters. Imagine, the city itself has about 23 waterfalls that is why Iligan City is dubbed as “The City of Majestic Waterfalls”.



What I enjoyed the most in my stay in Timoga was their slides, it was not as extreme and as good as the slides in some resort in Bulacan that I have explored but I enjoyed it, maybe because of the water perhaps


In Timoga they are not selling meals so as a piece of advice if you will visit the place, you must bring your own foods or you can just buy in “carenderia” in front of the resort.


In the top most pool, you can even see the beautiful sea of Iligan.


For about 2 hours again, we enjoyed the resort and
went to another place and it was Tinago Falls..

Maze Park and Resort - Iligan City

Last December 12, 2013 we finally explored Iligan City for the very first time and just like any other previous travels, before we went there, we already listed the top three tourist destinations we wanted to visit so bad and these are –The Timoga Spring Resort, Maze Park and Resort and Tinago Falls. By the way, Iligan City is also called, “the City of Majestic Waterfalls”.
Iligan City is about 2 hours public bus ride away from Cagayan De Oro City. As of this time, the fare for air-conditioned buses is 75 pesos for students with ID while regular fare is about 85 pesos. We departed Bulua Terminal in Cagayan De Oro City around 7am and reached Iligan by 9:00am. From Iligan Bus terminal we transferred into a “habal-habal” or motor cycle and we paid 120 pesos up to Maze Park and Resort.

When we reached there at around 9:30am, the resort was still so serene like we rented it privately since there were no other visitors in that early morning.


Maze Park and Resort has Olympic size pool and regular pool for swimming, mini zoo, small children playground, cottages for small and large gathering and a skate park too! We paid 25 pesos each for the entrance fee and it was fair enough.
We stayed and enjoyed the resort for 2 hours before we travelled back to the national highway and to Timoga Cold Spring.  When we reached Timoga, our tummies called us so we decided to take our lunch which was supposedly planned inside the resort; however, they don’t have any restaurant inside and so they were not selling any meals. Fortunately, there are carenderias in front the resort which technically saved us! And after we took our lunch, we went back to the resort and paid 50 pesos each for the entrance fee...

Tinago Falls - Iligan City


Tinago Falls is a waterfall in Iligan CityLanao del Norte in the southern Philippine island of Mindanao.
It is one of the main tourist attractions in Iligan, a city known as the City of Majestic Waterfalls.

             


The falls is high, its very cold waters cascading beautifully into a deep and calm basin-like pool which appears like a blue-colored lagoon. Under the falls is a small cave where people can enter and listen to the rumbling waters.




Tinago is a Filipino term meaning "hidden", the falls being hidden in a deep ravine. Trekking to the falls requires approximately 500 descending steps called the winding staircase.




Tinago Falls is located in a deep ravine in Barangay Ditucalan, Iligan City. The falls plunges 240 feet (73 m) high from a cliff. 


                       





Review: The experienced was great, as you can see in the pictures, one reason why i love the falls is because its water or like a pool is very calm. You can swim there joyfully. If I will rate the experience our of 10 it would be 7.9.
