Day 26: Journey to Surigao [Tinuy-an Falls]

3 Comments »

Sorry, it took me a while to finish the part 2 of my Journey to Surigao trip. It's been a roller coaster ride at work, but thank goodness, I'm almost done with my report. Hence, accomplishing this blogpost. To read Part 1, click here:

Straight from Enchanted River, we headed to our next destination; Tinuy-an Falls. In my estimate, I think we traveled around 45 minutes before reaching the infamous falls seated in Bislig, Surigao.


Tinuy-an Falls is a waterfalls in Bislig City, Surigao del Sur in the southern Philippine island of Mindanao. It is the main tourist attraction in Bislig, a city known as the Booming city on the bay.
The falls is approximately 55 metres (180 ft) high, touted as the Niagara Falls of the Philippines, Tinuy-an is a white water curtain that flows in three levels. It is one of the best waterfalls in the entire Philippines because of its majestic and unique natural formation. Its colorful picture was once appeared in the International Travel Magazine. (via Wikipedia)


With all honesty, I was left speechless as I stood right in front of this God-made wonder. You could just imagine the height from which the water descends. I felt like I was in paradise...a dreamy yet realistic paradise.

Day 26: Journey to Surigao [Enchanted River]

About a month ago (remember this?), my boyfriend bragged about a Surigao trip that him and his colleagues are planning come the end of April. He mentioned about them going to the hottest tourist destinations in Mindanao to date, which are Enchanted River and Tinuy-an falls. Later, he bargained with me and convinced me to join them. Of course, I wouldn't miss the chance, so I immediately said yes.

April 29, 2011 - After I got off from work at 2pm, my boyfriend, along with the entire group, picked me up from the office and we were all geared up to our road trip to Surigao, which is roughly about 5 to 6 hours away from Davao City. We were 3 hours into the trip when we decided to stopover at some place to feed our hungry tummies.



We ate at this place called Kainan  sa Hillsview, somewhere in Trento, Agusan del Sur.
