Travel: Manolo Fortich, Bukidnon, Philippines

MANOLO FORTICH, BUKIDNON IN BRIEF
     Bukidnon is located in Northern Mindanao of the Philippines. It is a landlocked province with Malaybalay City as its capital. The airport in its capital is currently closed as of this writing so access to Bukidnon is by land travel from Cagayan De Oro City. Manolo Fortich is a first class municipality in this province.

HOW TO GET THERE
     Refer to my post on how to get to Cagayan De Oro City, then from there land travel to Manolo Fortich, Bukidnon, particularly Dahilayan Adventure Park, is about two to three hours drive from Cagayan De Oro City proper. Public transport to Dahilayan is not so easy so it is practical to rent a car to go to Dahilayan.

PLACES TO VISIT
Dahilayan Adventure Park
     Dahilayan Adventure Park is a very nice place for adventurers and nature lovers. This nature park features Asia's longest dual zipline with a length of 840 meters. The start point of this zipline is located at 4500 feet above sea level. One more thing that adds to the fun of conquering this zipline is you can have a certificate of your photo which includes your picture. If you are not comfortable with the adrenaline rush this longest zipline offers, you can also try the 320 meters plus 120 meters zipline. Other activities are also available such as horseback riding, ATV driving, ropes course, wall climbing, dropzone and winch boarding. For more information about their rates visit their official website.
