The Magical Story of Hinatuan Enchanted River

Have you heard about the Hinatuan Enchanted River located on the island of Mindanao, Philippines? If not yet, you may want to continue reading. :) This river is one of the the wonders of Mindanao and even the Philippines not just because of its clear and crystal waters but also because this place is preserving the folklore in the country. As per the locals, some sort of supernatural beings are protecting the river allowing it to be a home to many fishes and for the waters to continue to glow and be as luminescent even today. And we, as the visitors of the place should respect this story. Just like in any tourist destination, before we head over to the river itself, we had a short briefing of the dos and dont’s for everyone’s safety. Please pay attention to the briefing personnel. Trivia: One of the big No-No is being too loud. We had to almost whisper when talking there to respect nature and everything that comes with it. And yes! There is a portion of the river where you are allowed to swim. Didn’t had a photo cause we were too overwhelmed and very careful. 📍Talisay, Hinatuan, Surigao del Sur 🇵🇭 ✈️ Nearest Airport: Surigao Airport (Domestic) You should tick this off your list soon ✅ #grouptravel #philippines #river

Enchanted River

One of the unique features of the Enchanted River is its unfathomable depth. There have been a number of diving expeditions which aimed to uncover this mystery, but have unfortunately failed. It was said that these professional divers experienced different roadblocks such as strong current and blocked passageways. I have read that the farthest they were able to go was 200 feet. I was more than contented with the feeling of joy and wonder upon seeing lovely place. It was really mesmerizing and captivated my heart! (big words!) I really pray that come hundreds of years, Enchanted River will still remain to be as clean and beautiful as I first saw it. #urbanexplorer #summervacation #summervacation#beachvacation#hikingtrails#hotelstay#urbanexplorer
