Mimbalut Falls

Mimbalut falls is another must-see when visiting Iligan City. This beautiful cascading falls stands about 90 feet high and 18 feet wide at Barangay Buru-un, near the boundary between Iligan City and Linamon, Lanao del Norte. It is the most accesible of the city's 23 waterfalls, being just 500 meters away from the national highway. Travelers in their own car can easily make a turn and drive for less that 5 minutes to reach the falls. For commuters, it will be an easy 15-minute walk under the shade of trees. With a quick turn, visitors may swim in the pool, enjoy a water massage at the foot of the falls or simply relax in the scenery.
