Limunsudan Falls is a two-tiered waterfall situated in Sitio Limunsudan, Brgy. Rogongan, Iligan City. It is the second highest waterfall in the Philippines next to Aliwagwag Falls of Davao Oriental. The waterfall has a massive water drop of 870 feet with the lower part cascades higher than the Maria Cristina Falls.
It is just one of the many spectacular waterfalls that get little media attention. The reason for their seclusion is that they are hard to access or hidden upon several rainforest or watershed in topographic areas. Upon reaching one of these hidden waterfalls of Iligan, you will be amazed by its wonderful view.
Meanwhile, Sitio Limunsudan (where the falls is located) is a remote village that is part of Barangay Rogongon, Iligan City. The village is near Bukidnon and acts a boundary to it. It can be reached by foot for a two-day trek from Brgy. Rogongon and is more accessible via Cagayan de Oro – Talakag, Bukkidnon.
The village is inhabited by the Higaonons, an indigenous tribe represented in every part of Northern Mindanao. The climate in Sitio Limunsudan is cooler than in any other parts of Iligan City but there are daily afternoon rain showers for the majority of the year that can be quite extreme.
How to get there:
From Manila, tourists must take a flight going to Cagayan de Oro City or Iligan City. Traveling to Limunsudan Falls is difficult and even need the help of the Mechanized Infantry Batallion. Tourists need to take the Iligan – Cagayan de Oro –Talakag – Rogongon route.
