The Enchanted River of Hinatuan

The Enchanted River of Hinatuan
Surigao Del Sur, Philippines


I have never been into a magical place until I met the Enchanted River of Hinatuan, Surigao Del Sur. This Paradise which is 2 to 3 hours travel from Tandag City, Surigao Del Sur is as magical as those you find in computer generated places in Hollywood. I cannot be more certain that the Enchanted River enchants those who come to visit her.


The river is engulfed with trees and shrubs. What makes it Enchanted is a tale that only belongs to the locals. But from the eyes of The Philippine Local, I made a list why this Enchanted River is mystifying, to wit:

a. Upon entering the area, a COLD MIST wraps around your body;
b. UNKNOWN DEPTH of the river, as well as the tantalizing shades of blue [Legend has it that a diver once brave to measure the depth of the river and never came back to tell the tale];
c. Schools of BIG fish inhabit river;
d. The presence of PETRIFIED WOOD which take MILLIONS OF YEARS to occur by natural process; and
e. The pure SERENITY of the river.

We take a dip in the COLD WATER of the river and it was very worthwhile for the long travel we made.
TOURISTS are warned that they cannot bring food during the tour in the river, so better let those tummies be full. PLEASE BE ADVICE, if visiting, not to VANDALIZE the ENCHANTED RIVER.

I took a short clip of the ENCHANTED RIVER. Hope you enjoy!
