Iligan's most accessible waterfall, a 27 m fan of water inside a riverside resort.
Mimbalut Falls drops about 27 metres down a rock face roughly five metres wide at the lip, then fans into dozens of threads as it reaches the base. It sits inside Iligan Paradise Resort and Eco-Park in Barangay Buru-un, a short walk from the national highway. The resort has a river-fed pool, cottages, a zipline and a cable car, which makes the falls an easy stop alongside Tinago and Maria Cristina.
