Maria Cristina Falls
A Tale of Love, Beauty and Power
It is one of the most beautiful and useful waterfall in the Philippines. You will only encounter it in the pages of Sibika at Kultura (Hekasi) books in your elementary school days, but once you see it in person, you will be impressed by its amazing beauty.

About Maria Cristina Falls
Not only does Maria Cristina look stunning, but it also has great value to the locals of Iligan City. It is estimated that the waterfall has a flow that can supply 70% of Mindanao’s power with its current of 200 megawatts. As a result, people cannot swim in the Maria Cristina Falls. Visiting here won’t be a disappointment, though, as you can still admire it from afar, and hop from one waterfall to another like Tinago Falls. Iligan is known as the “City of Majestic Waterfalls” because it’s home to many waterfalls.
