Hinatuan Enchanted River}

Our last stop will be the place in my top wishlist which is The Hinatuan Enchanted River is a deep spring river on the island of Mindanao
in the Philippines. It flows into the Philippine Sea
and the Pacific Ocean at Barangay Talisay, Hinatuan,
Surigao del
Sur. It is found between the boundaries of Barangays of Talisay and
Cambatong.
An exploration by a group of
three cave divers led by Dr. Alfonso Amores had led to the discovery of a
hidden underground cave opening at 30 meters depth. Succeeding
expeditions have been made that led to the discovery of the underwater cave's
chamber. The river's unusual colours and
unexplored depths have inspired various local legends. One story tells of
fairies that added the colours of sapphire and jade to the river to make its
unique shade. Local fisher folk also report seeing fish in the river that
cannot be caught through any means. According to locals, the river was called
the Enchanted River because of the engkantos
that dwell there. Their legends also say that the river is haunted by
supernatural beings which act as its protectors.
