Surigao del Sur is a six-hour drive from Davao City.
Tinuy-an Falls. Located in Bislig
City , Surigao del Sur, Tinuy-an Falls
is touted as the Niagara Falls of the Philippines . It
was recently featured in TV Patrol as a top tourist destination in Surigao. It
is said to be the widest waterfall in the Philippines . (Source: Wikipedia)
Tinuy-an Falls has three levels, and people could climb up to the second tier if one had the strength to climb steep metal stairs. The rocks in
the falls were slippery, but if you trod carefully you could reach spots where
you could sit and let the cascading waters massage your back.

Enchanted River. This river in Hinatuan, Surigao is by far the most amazing and breathtaking place I've been to in the country. The middle part is said to be 80 feet deep, and if you look down, you can't see the bottom. It's been featured in a few local travel shows, so its popularity is increasing.
The varying shades of blue were absolutely mesmerizing, and, were it not for the big Sunday crowd, it would have been eerie, too. The brackish water was cold at first, and we were terrified to swim the width of the river because of the dark blue water in the middle. But after some time, our bodies adjusted to the temperature and we summoned the courage to swim to the other side, the quickest dog paddle I've ever done in my entire life. Two of us even cliff-dived. \m/
