A wall of about 28 curtain cascades on the Cagayan de Oro and Bukidnon boundary.
Sinulom Falls spreads across a five-hectare cove where about 28 curtains of water slide down a forested rock wall into the Cagayan de Oro River. The falls sit on the Talakag side of the river, but the usual entry is through Barangay Tignapoloan in Cagayan de Oro. A resort at the site has an infinity spring pool, cottages and a restaurant facing the falls. Bamboo rafts can take visitors closer to the base when the river is calm.
