TOURISTA

From all its notable waterfalls where it got to be called a City of so and lush mountains rich in flora and fauna, Iligan City has also been known to locals and foreigners for its Timoga springs, recognized for the seemingly endless supply of fresh and pristine waters, located at Buru-un, Iligan City. The refreshingly icy-cool water is from Lake Lanao―the largest fresh water lake in the Philippines. The springs from which the resort gets its water source are just but one of the many outlets of the Lake other than Maria Cristina and Tinago Falls.

 

With its crystal clear springs that flow freely to swimming pools of different sizes and its waters being without any chlorine solution, Timoga springs have earned its reputation as one of the most visited spots in the city where visitors love to frolic and swim―truly an Iliganon’s pride.  

 

There are several resorts to choose from where visitors can enjoy to kick-off their beaten blues. Some of these resorts are the El Lauriento (Holiday) Swimming Pool, the Dela Mar Resort, the Mimar’s Springway Resort, the Marvilla’s Swimming Pool and the Timoga Spring Pool Resort. Most of these resorts offer reasonable entrance fees fit for the various amenities they can offer such as slides, fountains, diving boards and many more for all ages. Pool depths vary from as low as 2 ft. to as deep as 16 ft.

 

The Timoga springs is undeniably an ideal destination for swimming parties, school reunions, friends’ get-togethers, family outings and even for those in hunt for just a quick pool dip. Budget-friendly foods are sold across the street, thus demonstrating that it hasn’t just been a place for entertainment and leisure, but also a place that has provided livelihood for the Iliganons who live there. Moreover, the place is very much accessible to public transportation as it is just alongside the national highway. Those without private cars may get there by jeepney at most a 20-minute travel from the city.

 

Without a doubt, the best way to experience the best of Iligan is to add Timoga springs into your itinerary! Beat the heat, get refreshed and spend your quality time there with your family, friends, or your loved one.
