Northern Mindanao
Waterfalls in Lanao del Norte
Lanao del Norte sits on the northern coast of Mindanao, with Iligan City as the main gateway and the Agus River running through the province. Our coverage includes Maria Cristina Falls, Tinago Falls, Mimbalut Falls and Limunsudan Falls, a mix of industrial, easy and remote sites. Iligan is known as the City of Majestic Waterfalls, and Maria Cristina is tied to the Agus hydroelectric complex, so access can be restricted. Tinago and Mimbalut are the easiest to visit, while Limunsudan needs more planning. Confirm access and guide arrangements locally before travelling.
