Tinago Falls - Biliran


Tinago Falls is a popular tourist destination located in Biliran province in the Eastern Visayas region. It is located in the town of Caibiran, about 18 kilometers from the provincial capital of Naval.

The name Tinago, which means "hidden" in the local language, is appropriate because the falls are hidden deep within a lush jungle, making it a bit of a challenge to get to. Visitors must hike down a steep staircase of over 200 steps to reach the falls.
