Idiot’s Travel Guide – Timoga Spring Pool

Nothing beats Iligan City in terms of abundance of fresh waters. The city itself has about 23 waterfalls that is why Iligan City is dubbed as “The City of Majestic Waterfalls”.

Timoga Spring is one of the places in Iligan City that has the abundance of overflowing fresh waters. 

It is located in Timoga – Buruan, Iligan City where about five of these resorts houses different swimming pools, ranging from 2ft to 16ft.

It has several swimming pools to offer for both children and adults.
Fountains and sprinklers are found in a couple of pools while slides and diving board are found in the other pools. Concrete statues of cartoon characters such as Mickey Mouse, Spiderman, Tarzan and many others are found inside Timoga Spring Pool.

The clear icy cold water is from Lake Lanao which is known to be the largest fresh water lake in the Philippines.

The springs, to which the resort gets its water source, are just but one of the many outlets of the Lake; other than Maria Cristina and Linamon Falls.

With the seemingly endless supply of fresh and cold waters, Timoga cold springs have earned its reputation to be one of the “must be visited” spots in the city. Visitors from all over the country all commend to the refreshing and natural feel of the waters, minus the irritating chlorine solution, which make it distinct from the others. It is called the “flowing swimming pools” for that reason.

  Taxi – Php 250.00 to Php 300.00

            Note: Please be careful in dealing with taxi drivers. Since Timoga is 9 kilometers away from the city proper, most taxi drivers will                             offer you a “pakyaw” system wherein they will ask you to pay a much higher amount compared to usual meter.

All the fees and fares may change without prior notice. The blog owner will hold no responsibility when there is a sudden change in the said admission fees and fares.
