Zamboanga del Norte is a land still considered mysterious as it contains many hidden wonders still awaiting discovery. One such wonder people from far and wide have sought to gaze upon is Sungkilaw Falls, which is located in the barangay of Diwan in Dipolog City, Zamboanga Del Norte.  The spot is developed by the City Government with the help and support of the Subanen , a peace-loving native people dwelling in the vicinity.

From quite an elevation, one can feel the sheer power of nature as white water cascades down against the side of a weathered rock formation and splashing with force upon the waiting pool below, with mist adding mystique to the view.  A viewing deck nearby gives one a great vantage point to better appreciate the entirety of the falls.  Some distance away is a path with stairs descending into the length of the falls.   Read More:  https://www.vigattintourism.com/tourism/articles/The-Sungkilaw-Falls-of-Zamboanga-del-Norte
