HINATUAN ENCHANTED RIVER

 


The Hinatuan Enchanted River is a deep spring river exactly found between the boundaries of Barangays of Talisay and Cambantong, Hinatuan, Province of Surigao del Sur, island of Mindanao in Philippines, and flows into the Philippine Sea and the Pacific Ocean. It was believed to be mysterious or enchanted for its unknown depth until this date.

Various local legends:

It is called “enchanted” because no one has ever reached its bottom. Local legends tell that fairies added the river’s unusual colors of sapphire and jade to the river to make its unique shade and it’s unexplored depths inspire it to be enchanted. Also other legend say the fairies dwell the river & haunted by supernatural beings which act as its protectors. (Source: Wikipedia as of 5/1/23)
