MARIA CRISTINA FALLS

Twenty minutes by jeepney from Iligan, this waterfall is the pride of the town and features on every tourist brochure. At one hundred metres high, the waterfall nicknamed "The Twin Falls" is majestic. Legend has it that the waterfall represents two sisters, Cristina and Maria. Falling in love with the same man, they threw themselves off the falls so as not to have to choose. Often referred to as "the mother of industry", the falls are a real asset to the city's development, producing the electricity needed by 70% of Mindanao.
