Experiencing a bit of Cagayan De Oro

EXPLORING CDO

Day 3 - December 13 2015 (Sunday)

Woke up around 6:00 AM and by 8:30 AM we already headed to the town of Cugman via Jeepney.

FARE: PHP 12.00

9:30 reached Cugman, rode a Habal Habal (motorcycle) going to Mapawa Nature Park.

FARE: PHP 35.00/pax (one way).
ENTRANCE FEE: PHP 50/pax

By the way do not forget to tell your driver what time is he going to pick you up because the place is far from the highway and walking is not advisable.

Since we are on a tight budget and we don’t have enough time, instead of trying the park’s activities we chose to ride a horse going to the view deck or what they called “the pinnacle”. 

Took us half an hour to reach it and damn it is breathtaking up there.

HORSE RIDE PHP 125.00 (half hour)

TIP FOR THE GUIDES PHP 100.00

After almost 2 hours of exploring the park our driver picked us up and we stop by Gardens of Malasag eco-tourism village, we just took a photo of the entrance.

10:48 AM Off to circa 1850 restaurant, Rode a jeepney back to CDO proper

FARE: PHP 10.00

11:00 AM Arrived at circa, by the way it’s no longer Tune hotel they changed the name to Red planet.

We ordered:

Fish and chips PHP 350.00

Sirloin steak PHP 550.00

Choco Lava PHP 100.00

Dalandan Juice PHP 80.00

(PLUS 5% SERVICE CHARGE)

I am a type of person with weird taste buds but you can trust me on this, their steak is really mouthwatering. I do really recommend this place if you don’t mind spending a little bit on food.

1:00 PM Back to the hotel via taxi

FARE: PHP 65.00

Well, I guess not taking dinner every time we are on a vacation is becoming a habit already lol. So we took our siesta and skipped dinner.

Adrenaline filled day in CDO and DAHILAYAN Adventure Park

Day 2 - December 12 2015 (Saturday) – Adrenaline rush awesome day!
I remember, one of my friend recommended to try the zipline in Bukidnon, I researched about it and found out that this was one of Bukidnon's pride - Dahilayan Adventure park, Asia's longest dual zipline; who wouldn't want to try that? I added it right away to my bucket list together with the CDO’s White water rafting. I continued my research and found a very affordable Raft and All Zip package from Great white water tour that’s why I reserved a slot for two; they merged us to other group since there are a minimum people needed for the rafting. Package rate is PHP 1699.00/pax which includes round trip hotel transfers, snack at Dahilayan Adventure Park and Lunch which isn’t really that bad at all.

Day 1 - December 11 2015 (Friday) – Settling down

It was just another SOSO (same old, same old) day at the office, missed my midnight lunch (I work at night), had to stay 1 hour past my shift to make sure all my deliverables

 were properly endorsed since they won't be able to get a hold of me for few days.
