WAT Iligan Day 2: Visiting the Majestic Maria Cristina Falls

26 0900H September 2012 - It's my second day here in Iligan City, Philippines wherein I participated in the Waterfalling Adventure Tour hosted by the Iligan Bloggers Society. The first waterfall during the tour was the famous Maria Cristina Falls.

The thing is, I grew up with Maria Cristina falls not because I live in Iligan. I actually grew up knowing her because of the books I read back in grade school. Funny, ask anyone in primary school, they know lots of things about Maria and Cristina's story and why it became such a fairy tale of love about a boy. Oh I wish I was that boy...

It is actually my second time to visit her. The first visit wasn't much appreciated since I was very young then. But this date has been quite another personal meeting, I wondered on her beauty and how she supplies the electricity needed by the whole Northern Mindanao. She's never enchanting though, unlike Tinago Falls, but she's just as majestic. Sadly, this waterfall felt shy as I can't see Maria flowing with water.

After being able to rekindle an old past, the group went for a short zip course. I think it's the best zip course I've been to'. I initiated inverted positions without fear and I thought the day was just about to start.


Before we moved to another waterfall, a quick lunch from Jacko's Kan-anan was packed along with the trip. Delicious!
