Sinulom Falls and Bolao Cold Spring
About
Bali feels in Cagayan de Oro! Sinulom Falls spills down a jungle wall in dozens of silver streams straight into the Cagayan de Oro River, and the Bolao Cold Spring pool beside it gives you an infinity-pool view of the whole curtain of water. It blew up on TikTok in 2025, with clips passing 8M and 4.6M views. The road up to Tignapoloan is very steep, so hire a habal-habal or ride with an experienced driver; the cool, misty swim at the end is worth it.
