About Iligan City
Iligan City, the home of the Mindanao State University-Iligan Institute of Technology (MSU-IIT), is located in the northern coast of Mindanao facing Iligan Bay, bounded in the north by the province of Misamis Oriental, in the east by the provinces of Bukidnon and Lanao del Sur and in the south by the province of Lanao Del Norte. It is approximately 795 kilometers southeast from the capital Manila. Also named as the City of Majestic Waterfalls, it has 23 confirmed waterfalls with 39 others reported by local barangay heads. The most famous among these is the Maria Cristina Falls which was harnessed by the National Power Corporation in the 1950s. The falls generate electricity to power not just the City of Iligan but almost all of the Island of Mindanao.
Aside from its many waterfalls, Iligan City is also the home of the famous Timoga Springs where the Timoga swimming pools are located. These pools are known for their pristine, cool, and crystal clear waters. Free-flowing water flows through the pools, filling them up, before it flows out downstream to the Iligan Bay. There are picnic shacks, snack bars, cottages, as well as tables and chairs for the swimmers’ complete relaxation.. Click here to visit the Iligan City Visitors Website for more details.
