Timoga Spring Pools - El Lauriento Resort

Last Thursday was my first time to experience swimming and feel the icy-cold water in the Timoga Spring Resort, Iligan City. It is located along National highway Timoga-Buru-un, in Iligan City, around some kilometers distant from the city proper. Its been a long time since I heard about the Timoga spring resorts, about its icy-cool and crystal-clear water that flows freely from one pool to another. It is said that the source of the cold water in Timoga springs comes from Lake Lanao in Marawi City which is 37 kms away from Iligan City.

And since I already experienced its cold waters for only Php50 per pax plus Php100 for table rental, I’m excited to share some photos taken from El Lauriento Resort, one of the five Timoga spring resorts.

By the way friends, there are other four spring resorts along the vicinity, which is easily accessible so, when in Iligan City, take time to visit the Timoga spring water resort and experience the excitement of swimming in icy-cold waters.

Iligan - CDO Travel September 2010

I know this is an uber late post. Pardon me. As of this writing, I am having my Iligan - CDO Travel July 2011. But before that, allow me to share some of the photos I had back September 2010.

Tinolang Isda, my favorite ulam in Mindanao and Visayas.

Durian....sarap.

Durian is one of the famous fruits because of its distinctive odor, whom some find it offensive. But for me, its taste overpowers its odor. Do give it a try, you'll never regret you did.

me holding durian at Iligan City.

Diyandi festival 2010, along quezon avenue, Iligan City.

I am blessed to have witnessed Diyandi Festival that year. As IliganToday.com states, Diyandi Festival is the official title for the city's month long cultural celebration. It concludes with the feast day of Saint Michael the Archangel on September 29. So, if you are planning to visit the province, might as well make it a September visit.

Mindanao Travel - January 26-31, 2009

Join me in viewing God’s creation from above....literally from about 37,000 ft assigned altitude of our aircraft going to Cagayan De Oro City, Mindanao...

Our initial approach to the island of Mindanao, via Cagayan De Oro’s Lumbia Airport.

Mountainous area of Cagayan De Oro, How magnificent it is seeing from above...

The Lumbia Airport’s Runway...

Welcome sign at Lumbia Airport, Cagayan De Oro... “WELCOME”

Just arrived at the Fruitful Island of Mindanao.

With Colorful stones as a background. here, you'll see the tall coconut trees and trees of fruits named "Marang" and "Durian"

Some of the rivers crazed by a heavy rainfall during early part of January... Northern area of Mindanao then was devastated by two-week long continuous rainfall, thus resulting to heavy flooding in the region...

Filipinos are used to ride in vehicle with full force. Meaning, sometimes, we have to exert some effort to ride a public transportation just to get wherever our destination will be.

Long and winding road between Aplaya and Butuan...

Finally, my breakfast at Inland Resort Hotel at Butuan City... Thanks God for another blessing... Filipino breakfast, plain rice, egg, Daing na Bangus (Milkfish), hot chocolate and pineaplle-orange juice.

Manmade lake inside Inland Resort. There are numerous fish mostly tilapia, it is really good to hear some noise made by them during early morning when they looked like playing, :)

Long travel to Davao City, home to the biggest eagle in the world and fruits like “Marang” and “Durian”. It is approximately 5 hour from Butuan City to Davao City..
