tinago

Tinago is a name most commonly associated with Tinago Falls, a popular waterfall in Iligan City, Lanao del Norte, Philippines. The name derives from the Filipino word tinago, meaning hidden, reflecting its secluded location behind a steep ravine.

Tinago Falls sits in a ravine formed by the Iligan River and lush vegetation. Access is gained by descending a long staircase carved into the ravine wall; visitors reach a natural pool at the base where the fall drops into emerald water. Swimming is a common activity when conditions allow.

The site attracts both local and international visitors, especially during the dry season. Safety considerations include steep steps and occasional slippery surfaces; visitors may hire guides or use official facilities, and local regulations govern entry.

In broader usage, Tinago is used as a place name in the Philippines and may appear in other contexts, reflecting the word's meaning and local history.
