Tinuy-an Falls, tucked away in the remote area of Barangay Burboanan, Bislig City, Surigao del Sur, is being dubbed as the most beautiful munti-tier waterfall in the Philippines. The stunning beauty of curtain-like cascading waters will make you appreciate the beauty of Mother Nature.
Tinuy-an Falls is considered as the widest waterfall in the Philippines because of its 95 meters width and 55 meters plunge. The stunning waters fall in three (3) levels (the fourth being hidden in the view). This is the reason why it is called as a multi-tiered waterfall.
The second-tier or second level is the tallest and widest of the three (3). This is where most of the visitors swim, explore and take some stunning photos. See images below.

You can rent a bamboo raft that will bring you closer to the cascading waters. The cost is around Php 100.00 – Php 150.00 each.
For visitors who really want to explore the area, they tend to go to the third level. There is a steep trail going there for the interested visitors. You can ask a help from a local tour guide or you can do it yourself.
Compared to the main falls, or the second-tier, this one has lesser people. The stones looks like stairs so you can sit there and relax as the cascading waters give your back a free massage.
