TIMOGA SPRINGS (TIMOGA, ILIGAN CITY)

          Timoga Springs is a group of springs located at Timoga, Buru-an in Iligan City, Philippines. It is well known for it's icy cool, crystal-clear springs that flow freely to swimming pools of different sizes. There are approximately five spring resorts along the highway which houses pools, ranging from 5ft-21ft (excluding the pool for kids).

          The source of water of Timoga Spring comes from Lake Lanao in the only Islamic city of the Philippines--Marawi City, Lanao del Sur--which is 37 kilometers away. Lake Lanao waters come from a volcanic source, the lake being the crater of an extinct volcano. These waters are filtered subterraneanly in the Timoga, Buru-an area of Iligan, making it one of the richest source of fresh, high pH, alkaline water.

          Out of the 5 resorts in Timoga, we always choose to stay in El Lauriento Swimming Pool. I don't know why, but it's really nice in there with so many pools to choose from: kiddies, 6ft, 8ft, 8ft among others. Entrance fee is only 50 pesos per person and you can bring food inside if you want. In our case, we often eat among the restaurants that lined the high way outside the resorts. Foods like lechon manok, lechon baboy, sinugbang isda, barbecue, halang-halang, etc., are available at a very affordable price.

          Timoga is easy accessible for it is positioned along the national road. You can always ask a local for the place, they should be of assistance. Enjoy and bon voyage!
