Known as the gateway to northern Mindanao and the City of Golden Friendship, Cagayan De Oro proffers tourist endless nature trippings and adventures. As

www.airasia.com Philippine's low-cost airline introduces new flights from Iloilo to CDO and vice versa it makes traveling to CDO more convenient to the Ilonggos and last month Iloilo Bloggers Inc. were among those who got chosen to take part of its inaugural flight.

It was my first time to travel to CDO glad that I took the trip despite my hectic schedule as it paved way for new adventures and friendship. The vacation also opens a chance for me to destress enabling me to think clearly and work more efficiently.

Our itinerary focuses mostly on nature trips - my ideal vacation to escape the hustle bustle of city life. Arriving in CDO the group decided to rent a van for PHP 3000 to tour us around CDO.

Dahilyan Adventure Park - Hub for the adventurers and thrill seekers. Dahilayan Adventure park gives you the adventure of a lifetime. They have Asia's longest dual zipline, skytower base jump, freefall ride, canopy glider, phython roller zipride and many more. But if you are someone like me who has acrophobia a walk around the park is enough, remember walking is one of the most underrated forms of exercise but it helps alleviate depression and other negative emotions.
