Found in Hinatuan, Surigao del Sur, this river flows into the Philippine Sea and the Pacific Ocean. The water has different blue shades, with its centre being a darker blue hue. It is calm as it is majestic. You will definitely get lost in your thoughts by just staring at the crystal-blue water. The water is so clear that you can see schools of fish swimming!
Visitors either can’t stop staring at the water or can’t stop jumping into it. Most visitors are cautious because the depth of the river is unknown. At 12 noon, at the ring of a caretaker’s bell and a request for swimmers to get out of the water, schools of fish are fed, which is a real treat for tourists! No one is allowed to swim in the river by five in the afternoon. It is said that locals believe that this is the time that spirits use the water for themselves. The same spirits take care of the pristine water.
If stories are true, then Hinatuan River is truly enchanted.
