ENCHANTING RIVER HAS MYSTERIOUS AND UNKNOWN SOURCE

With its tranquil blue waters, palm trees and rock pools, this idyllic river in the Philippines is nothing short of paradise.

 

But the Hinatuan River, which runs on the island of Mindanao - the second largest and southernmost in the region - is no ordinary hideaway.

 

Because the salt water river seems to have no source.

 

The exact source of the beautiful paradise - nicknamed the Enchanted River because of its unknown beginnings - is surrounded in mystery and has never been determined.

 

Due to its close proximity to the sea, some believe the idyll was created when seawater flowed through long tunnels and caverns deep below the ground, finally resurfacing at the spring - which is 50ft deep in areas.

 

But others offer slightly different solutions - including one urban legend that suggests the river was created by fairies and pixies.

 

The river, considered one of the most beautiful tourist attractions in the Philippines flows straight into the Pacific Ocean.
