About Iligan

Iligan City, known as the "City of Majestic Waterfalls," is a captivating destination in Northern Mindanao that boasts a perfect blend of natural wonders and urban charm. With over 20 stunning waterfalls, including the iconic Maria Cristina Falls and Tinago Falls, Iligan offers travelers refreshing escapes into nature while also showcasing a rich cultural heritage and warm hospitality.

Paseo de Santiago, Iligan City

My Iligan City habal tour ended at the Paseo de Santiago, a seaside complex with several food stalls and shops. Since it's seaside, of course, it's by the beach, and the sound of the waves makes the area cosy with the cool breeze - a perfect spot to relax. Others would call it a "hangout area" where you can have a few bottles of beer and "ihaw-ihaw," with someone performing on the mini stage. The area is wide with an instagrammable landscape which includes the gorgeous fortress (photo above), a wide map of the Philippines on the ground and the statue of Lapu-Lapu on the other side. The perfect time to visit this place is during sunset. It is privately owned; thus, entrance fees are being collected.
