Iligan city hosts one of the major sources of electricity in
Mindanao, the Ma. Cristina Hydro Electric Power Plant or known also as Agus Hydo
Electric Power Plant (IV, V,VI, VII) in which Ma. Cristina Waterfalls in Ditucalan fuels
the production of electrical energy for Agus VI.
NPC as a critical project in the area, mitigated the total environmental degradation by putting up a Nature Park. The
location in which the power production was located is truly diverse and once
densely forested.
Features of the NPC Nature's Park:
- Botanical and Zoological Gardens
- Zipline across the Raging River of Agus
- The Twin Falls of Ma. Cristina
Getting there:
If you are coming from Luzon and
Visayas, major airlines operate daily bound to Cagayan de Oro. From the airport
take a cab going to Bulua Bus Terminal Station. Take a bus bound to Iligan
City. We suggest that you take the non-stop bus to fasten your travel. From
Iligan North Bus Terminal Station, take a jeepney bound to the city proper, and
then take a jeepney again with a sign board NPC or Buru-un. Tell the driver
that you will alight just right after the bridge of NPC. From the bridge, the
entrance to NPC is about less than 100 meters.
