Finally, a breather from the demands of work and the hustle and bustle of the city life.
We made it to Bukidnon--the place I have always wanted to visit.
Bukidnon [Dec.14, 2013]
Situated approximately 2,000 ft above sea level, this beautiful getaway boasts of a cool weather and a fantastic view!
Tall and towering pine trees are abundant here too! There's just something about these trees that makes me feel happy..just like Christmas. Oh and we visited 11 days shy of the actual Christmas day.--so..yeah Bukidnon is awesome!
When our shuttle reached Dahilayan Adventure Park, we wasted no time and headed straight to the ticket booth. The first activity we dared to try was Asia's longest zipline.
Asia's longest dual zipline has two 840m Ziplines with a drop of 100 meters. Zipriders are transported via 4WD Safari Cruiser to a launch tower at 4500′ ASL. Zoom through the rainforest canopy at 60-80kph to land at our Carrier-type flight deck using a special arresting gear system.
We donned this blue apron slash jumper-like outfits and put our helmets on.
My friend and I enjoyed the 'getting ready' part and used humor to shake off our anxiety.
Not long after...
here we go!!!
We screamed our way through the pine trees and felt the rush of the cool wind on our faces.
After a while, we felt silent as we were just in awe of the breathtaking scenery. I personally tried my best to take it all in and forgot how high (100 meters more or less) from the ground we were. And when we conquered the 320-meter zip line we felt superhuman! LOL! Best feeling ever! Can't wait to try the next activity in line: the Drop Zone
[refer to previous post for details]
While still high from our unforgettable ventures, we checked out the rest of Dahilayan's attractions:
Asia's first Zipline Roller Coaster, Oh my! Maaaaybe next time. Just maybe. haha!
Asia's first Forest Canopy Pedal Powered Glider
This canopy glider moves thru the trees, crawls along vines, and zips between tree trunks while you pedal along the high wire (www.dahilayanadventurepark.com)
Ropes Course
A 12-stage High and Low Wire obstacle course complete with a Multisided Rockwall (www.dahilayanadventurepark.com)
Aside from the attractions, one can also get the best of nature's offering while simply strolling at the park.
I gasped at the sight of this! Real sunflowers!!!!! Oh how lovely they are!
And of course, you get to experience the marvel of walking among lush greens and tall pine trees. Yes believe it or not, we are still in the Philippines. I wish this is how our backyard looks like. Sigh.
And how I wish this was our house. Sigh.
After everything we've gone through today, it's time to reward ourselves with the perfect meal.
I give Pine Grove restaurant a 5/5: Food, Service, Ambiance, Price and Location we're all great!
Ah..would you look at that! Thank you Lord for this wonderful world.
Come to Bukidnon and see this for yourself, this place is definitely worth it.
