The Tinuy-an Falls is the top tourist attraction in Bislig, Surigao del Sur. It is a huge waterfall with cool and crystal clear waters and is surrounded by greens that create the area a gorgeous and relaxing landscape. The ambiance is so cool, with the fresh air blowing. By the way, most part of the waterfalls are accessible, including the pool area. Water rafts, with a guide, can be rented.

This gorgeous waterfall is surrounded by trees and other plants that may help to collect more water and protect the land area from soil erosion. Tourist guides by the entrance are available. Entrance fees are to be collected.


What was unforgettable during our visit in Tinuy-an Falls was a ride on the "skylab," a local habal-habal in Surigao del Sur. Just to let you know that I have a fear of riding a vehicle with two wheels, so proud that I am able to survive the freezing feeling of being on the skylab. By the way, the lake on the side was a rice field, but after the recent typhoon, it converted to a wide lake. READ: BACKPACKING in Surigao del Sur, Agusan del Norte, and Camiguin
