Day 1 - A Warm Welcome to the Majestic Iligan
Begin your remarkable adventure with a complimentary, Filipino breakfast at your accommodation. Once refueled, we'll gear up to visit the Iligan Cathedral and the Mausoleum of the late President Marcos. Then, we'll feast our eyes on the Ditucalan and Mimbalot Falls, two enchanting sights that will leave you breathless! Lunchtime will bring us to a local carinderia for authentic Iligan delicacies. After lunch, brace yourself for an extraordinary trek to Pagsanjan Falls - a waterfall that resembles something out of a fantasy novel! Ending the day will be a satisfying dinner at local restaurants, featuring dishes you’ve likely never tasted before - think Adobo, Sinigang, or maybe even Lechon if you're feeling adventurous. How's that for a first day?
Day 2 - Exploring the Charm of Iligan
Imagine starting your day off with the manicured gardens of Maria Cristina Ancestral House, sound good? Yes, we think so too. Afterward, we'll proceed to the Maria Cristina Falls, Iligan's primary source of hydroelectric power and an incredibly stunning fall. Then, seize the chance to bond with nature by exploring the eco-friendly haven that is Rizal Park. Craving for another adrenaline rush? Brace yourself for white water rafting at the Mambuaya River! Witness the power of nature under your control! As day turns into evening, we'll head back downtown for another chance to taste the local food at Iliganon Restaurant. An enchanting day, wouldn't you agree?
Day 3 - Iligan, Until We Meet Again
On our final day, how about a morning stroll at the Iligan City Public Plaza before we head off to the Tinago Falls? The name means 'Hidden Falls', and it certainly lives up to it! Afterward, we'll fulfill any remaining souvenir needs at the Iligan Public Market, and not forgetting the factory visit to Cheding's Peanut Store - famed for its irresistibly crunchy peanuts! To conclude our memorable journey, we'll have a farewell dinner at Delecta Diner and Cafe, tasting more Filipino dishes that tickle our tastebuds! As they say here - hanggang sa muli, Iligan!
