Tiklas Falls, Gingoog
Misamis Oriental has a lot of potential in terms of vacation destination especially the beauty of natural surroundings in it. Gingoog City is the oldest city or known as "the City of Good Luck" awaits you to visit the magnificent Tiklas Falls located in Barangay Lawit. This fall was managed and maintained by City Government as one of the Eco-tourism Park in the City. Gingoog City is situated 74 kilometers distance from Butuan City and 122 kilometers East of Cagayan de Oro City.
You will be passed a mixed concrete-steel bridge before you reach the edge of the falls, then, stop at the center and take your best shot at the amazing view of the falls. The Park also has a swimming pool and Cottages available in the Falls area but no available room accommodation in the Area. I personally suggest to the City government to pay attention to the full maintenance and get more Eco-tourism development/Activities for its future potential that generates more employment to the community.
