in #travel7 years ago

Hello everyone, hello steemians. Excel here sharing with my travel last Dec 26,2017. My family spent Christmas vacation at Surigao del Sur since my wife's family were living there. I cannot allow myself going back to Iligan without visiting the most enchanting blue river of Hinatuan, Surigao del Sur.20171225_093833.jpg

From Bislig City, we rode a bus going to the town of Hinatuan and it took 2 hours travel. From their we rode again a motorcycle called "habal-habal" to reach the majestic river. Since the road from the highway to the river is concrete already, it is convenient and accessible. May and my wife really enjoying the habal-habal ride.

There is a 40pesos entrance and life jacket rental of 15pesos also since you are not allowed to swim without their enchanted river life vest.

Swimmers are not allowed already to swim the center or the mouth of the river for the preservation of corals and fishes. Their is a corresponding swimming area that is not so deep and surely you will enjoy the clear and wonders of the river.20171225_095031.jpg

We estimated that time that we can be back to the river before 12noon for as to witness the feeding of fish living in the river while playing the "Hymn of Hinatuan". You really amazed the different kinds of fishes coming out while the music playing.IMG_20171225_120527.jpg
The depth of the river is still a mystery even the source of water. The river is rich in fairytales and folklore stories. We doesn't know. I believe that God's creation beautiful and wonderful.
My visit to the Enchanted River is worth it and theirs no room for happiness. It was great and inviting you all to have a visit @EnchantedRiver.
