MARIA CRISTINA FALLS #270479
MARIA CRISTINA FALLS is a waterfall of the Agus River on the island of
Mindanao, Philippines. It is located 9.3
km away southwest of the city proper at the boundaries of Barangays Maria
Cristina, Ditucalan, and Buru-un in Iligan City, in the province of Lanao del
Norte. It is a landmark of Iligan City,
and it is sometimes called the “twin falls” as the flow is separated by a rock
at the brink of the waterfall. Iligan
City is nicknamed the City of Majestic Waterfalls, because of the presence of
more than 20 waterfalls in the city.
Well known for its natural beauty and grandeur, this 320 ft high
waterfall is also the primary source of electric power for the city’s
industries, being harnessed by the Agus VI Hydroelectric Plant.
