Maria Cristina Falls
Location: Iligan
Type and height: Plunge/ 98 meters
From Tinago falls we headed straight to the well-known Maria
Cristina falls. Maria Cristina falls was one of the very first waterfalls I
have known reading her in my primary school year on text books. It is to no
avail that its grandeur falls in line with other Philippine must see
destinations like the Banaue Rice terraces in Ifugao and Mt. Mayon in Bicol.
It is another privilege for me to see another thought of
destination is in its true colors!
As you alight on the entrance gate of Maria Cristina falls
accomplish necessary fees and aboard the shuttle that will take you to the plant
where the view deck is located. Authorities require everyone to leave their
stuff behind and to just bring the essentials for security purposes. The shuttle is roughly 10 minutes along
forested area. Watch out as Maria Cristina falls will be in front of you in no
time!
From the shuttle stop a wooden stair case will lead you to
the plant where you have to climb another three floors to have the best view of
Maria Cristina falls.
Swimming is not allowed.
