CANYONEERING AND RIVER TREKKING

Are you looking for a grand adventure experience? One that will keep you on your feet even after the ordeal? If yes, then we have the best place for you.

Located inside a 2500-hectare eco-forest, the Mapawa Nature Park, Cagayan de Oro is found in Barangay Cugman, a 30- minute motorcycle ride from downtown Cagayan De Oro City. Opened to the public as an adventure park in 2000, it boasts of magnificent waterfalls, imposing views and adrenaline- pumping activities for adults and kids alike.

For the faint- hearted, the place offers a relaxing environment if you just simply want peace and solitude.

This farm-turned-nature park owned and maintained by the Pelaez family is strategically located at 350m above sea level. Mapawa Nature Park features zip lines, horseback riding, nature trails, camping, cliff jumping, a swimming pool, lodging places, and the most exciting, canyoneering – a river trekking activity to see the 12 waterfalls.

With a reasonable entrance fee, you still need to pay other fees if you want to avail of the several adventure packages. Refreshments are available within the park.

As there is no public transportation in the area, you need to rent a vehicle or hitch a ride with a motorcycle waiting along the highway and traverse through the rough and winding road.

Come early in the morning or at least before lunch to get the best of your time. It is quite cheaper to visit with a big group, but even if you go alone and pay the price for the whole trail, the experience is all worth it. More so, the package includes lunch of rice and chicken adobo, which you can surely finish in no time! Now, that is something to look forward to.
