The Enchanting Enchanted River at Talisay, Hinatuan, Surigao del Sur, Philippines



My siblings and I have decided to explore the beauty of the southern part of our province, Surigao del Sur. On our first stop was at Barangay Britania in San Agustin, Surigao del Sur. We visited Britania's group of Islands on our first day. I will post our Britania's group of islands experience later because I will share first the second tourist destination that we visited, the enchanting Enchanted River at Talisay, Hinatuan, Surigao del Sur. The road going to the Enchanted River is under construction. When we were travelling going to the Enchanted River, my 8 year old nephew said that we were like riding on a roller coaster. But the road was not bad after all. 


This is the entrance of  the Enchanted River. It has a Filipino inspired cottages for the tourists to partake the food that they brought. There is no restaurant inside the park. The parking area is located before you reach the park, so the driver brought us first to the entrance and went back to the parking area. Whole day Parking fee is Php50(US1.10) for each vehicle. The entrance fee to the park is Php30(US0.80) for adults and Php5(0.10) for kids below 4 feet tall.


The signage inside the park. The enchanted river is just a few meters away from the park's signage.



My brother in law said that the sea floor of the river is made up of limestone making the river's water to appear blue. This is the deepest part of the river.






The right side of the river where you can see clearly the deposit of limestone on the floor of the river. This is the shallow part of the river.



We left the Enchanted River before the "feeding" of the fishes because we have not booked any hotel yet to rest for the night in Bislig, Surigao del Sur. I hope that you will visit the enchanting Enchanted River in Talisay, Hinatuan, Surigao del Sur. Take care!
