my knees were trembling but it was blast!
I never had a chance to be active in my entire life. When I was a kid, I detest running and would like to settle in board games or hide and seek games. Blame it to my asthma or just the lack of interest but I was never a sporty person.It changed now that my son is becoming a toddler, I have no choice but to run around and keep on panting. So with my husband for our anniversary tour, we packed and went for some adventurous post honeymoon idea- water rafting.
Water rafting is an extreme sports of dealing with rapids caused by big boulders in rivers. In the Philippines, water rafting is synonymous with Cagayan de Oro. It used to be reserved for business tycoons spending at least P10K each but President Gloria tried it herself and paved the way for more operators for water rafting. Now, one can experience this amazing sport for less than P1K each or for the whole team more or less P6-7K.
meeting point
We waited for our tour operator in one of the plazas or town squares in CDO and traveled for more then 45 minutes to the river. We passed by rocky roads in higher altitude and going down again. The scenery is nice with green trees along with some plantations like banana.
we did it!
It was raining when we went there and it added some adrenaline rush for the whole group. You can listen to your guide or else you end up swimming in the river. For us, we conquered it all! It was the best adventure experience that I ever had.
I’m hoping to go to CDO again and try the “advanced” level where the rapids are wilder…till next time Cagayan!

Went to CDO-Camiguin last year, except nde namin tinry yung ‘way of the cross’. Konti lang napuntahan namin sa itinerary namin sa Camiguin
Well, there are many places to see in Camiguin. A friend of mine went to some places that I never heard of and they are really cool. I guess, you have to stay longer to really enjoy and explore the island more.
Thanks for the reply.
