Maria Cristina Falls is also called the “twin falls”. The flow of the water downwards is separated by a rock making it look like there are 2 waterfalls emerging into one. This 320-feet waterfall is also the primary source of electric power for the city.
HOW TO GET TO MARIA CRISTINA FALLS:
From the bus terminal, ride a jeepney going to the market and tell the driver to drop you off at the place where jeepneys going to Buru-un are found. That jeepney will be passing in front of the National Power Corporation where the Ma. Cristina Falls is located. Just tell the driver to drop you there. You will be dropped off at a bridge and from there you can walk towards the entrance of NPC. Ignore the habal-habal (motorcycle) drivers offering you a ride going to the entrance because it is just very near.

Once we got there, we paid the entrance fee of 35php/person and then waited for the shuttle van to take us to the falls. It was a bit of a long wait and we were worried about the time since we planned on going to Tinago Falls afterwards. But anyway, the van arrived just in time so we ventured on.

The one thing that we could say about Maria Cristina Falls is that the word “majestic” isn’t enough to describe it. It’s such a “macho-looking” falls for such a sexy name haha. We were just staring at it with our mouths open wide because it was so beautiful. We saw the falls in all its glory including the two cascading waters. Even from a distance you can feel its powers and feel some mists in the air, that’s how strong the falls were. It was such a great experience to see a place that we studied during our elementary years. I was actually teary-eyed a bit when I saw it haha.

We stayed there for around 30 minutes and then decided to go back so that we could still go to Tinago Falls.
