A Gateway to Underworld, Enchanted River of Hinatuan --- Part One

There so much mystery on this river, why the bottom still unreached even by the professional diver international.

And why the fishes appear if it's 12:00?At exactly 12:00PM locals and tourist are not allowed to swim on the majestic river.Because... It's feeding time

And as the clock hits noon, the Hinatuan Hymn is played from loud speakers. Like an ancient ritual, people who are swimming immediately paddled back to land while the fishes assemble near the riverbank.

5 months ago we officially visited this place and I was amazed to the beauty of philippines..esp. this enchanted river.

So may diffirent variety of fishes swim idly in clear blue watered rivered ignoring tourists taking a dip and taking photos with their cameras.

Despite of all calamities especially typhoons, the water remain as it is, the bluish water was not even changed, and one of the reason why it was called "Enchanted River"

Several professional divers have attempted to explore the brackish waters and the underwater compartments at the river.

“Many foreigners attempted to reach the bottom but until today, no one has ever reached it,” said Baguasan.

Perhaps it is a gatewell to the Underworld? Who knows.

There are some sort of fairy story and pixies are popular among the locals. Baguasan, said that the fairies and pixies, along with mermaids which they say swim upstream, protect the river, most especially from outsiders, but dont be afraid just respect the environment and they will not harm you surely.
