Alloha amazing nature!
If your living at the Philippines, people will expect the beautiful spots that we had. We filipinos really admired the pure nature that we had especially the falls, rivers and beaches. Since I'm living at Mindanao part but I'm not yet exploring all the beautiful spots that we had at Mindanao. There are fews only but most of them is the beaches which is my favorite place🤗.
But for now I'll gonna share to all of you the Enchanted river, also called the Hinatuan Sacred river(Philippines). It is a deep spring river on the island of Mindanao in the Philippines. Are you familiar with that name? Some people got scared if they will know the story behind of that river. But in my part I'm just ignoring it, as long as I didn't harm or abused the river. Just need to follow their rules and everything will be okay.
(I captured the logo sign of Hinatuan while I'm at the back of the van that we rented.)
The Enchanted river is located at Hinatuan Surigao del Sur. It is found between the boundaries of Barangays of Talisay and Cambatong. That place was full of amazing beaches that even the sacred river belong there. People been curious about it. How come they called it enchanted and they had a reason of course.
When we're closed to Enchanted river the place was not so cold, not like before. Wayback to my College days it's quite different now. It's just like a normal river. No entrance. No people will confront us. We just jump if we want to. Missing those days the old enchanted that we usually visit every weekend for free lol. We will bring some foods for lunch and we will enjoy the beauty of the river.

The government of Hinatuan really improved the place that they could provide a big food court with the highest view upstairs lol. I almost lost my breathe while walking the stairs hahaha. We don't have this kind of food court before. The place was full of trees. Specifically a greeny environment.
(The shuttle bus)
However it makes me shocked that enchanted river had a shuttle bus for the tourists so we don't need to bring our own service at the river. Guess what? They had 1 only shuttle bus, imagined that one? My goodness! Lots of people will visit at enchanted especially weekends. Mostly people been mad but they don't have choice also same with us. We just wait until the shuttle bus will come back.
The majestic statue...
I was amazed with this statue if it is a kind of fairy or goddesses. Then I asked some of the employees there if what happened to the head. And they said it's because of the typhoons that hits the entire Hinatuan.

However this area is quite cold already. My family is very excited to see how beautiful the river of enchanted. My mother was born at Hinatuan so she's been here many times also lol. Just my father and my siblings only is the first time.
(The entrance)
While we arrived at the river, its feeding time for the fishes. The Enchanted river is a flawless saltwater river that flows into the Pacific Ocean. It is around 80-feet deep and just barely long enough to be considered a river. Yet the flow attracts visitors from around the world who want to experience the beautiful waters that locals have long thought to be miraculous. According to the residence out there some people died and some also gone while swimming. Different reactions comes from the tourists but for me that many times been there, were all safe with my classmates in College and also my friends here in my place.
It's swimming time. The water is so cold like a freezer. The bluest river really attracts us, so amazing! The whole place make us complete that in our entire life we can enjoy the gods creation. So powerful isn't it? These stunning sights and destinations will astound you. Imagine a country having this kind of river that make us popular because of this. Thanks to our mother earth. We're totally gifted as we experienced the enchanted river of Hinatuan. We just travelled almost 2 hours only from our place.
Bye bye for now and hope all of you enjoyed my place at Mindanao. More fun in the Philippines🤗🤗🤗. Thank you!
