Tinago Falls (Biliran)

About

Biliran's showstopper waterfall! Tinago means hidden, and the falls really do pop out of nowhere: a tall white ribbon dropping down a dark rock wall into a deep green pool, with big boulders for sitting and snacking. A concrete stairway gets you down from the road, and the cold water is pure relief after the climb. Easy half day from Naval, big wow!
