Maria Cristina Falls

year-round; fuller during rainy season

At 320m height and 150m wide, Maria Cristina is the Philippines' widest waterfall — and generates 80% of Mindanao's industrial power via the Agus hydroelectric plant below. The viewing deck makes visible both the drama of the falls and the industrial infrastructure it powers. Tip: call the National Power Corporation ahead to confirm dam gate timing — the full flow is released at scheduled intervals; arriving at the wrong hour means seeing a trickle.
