The City of Golden Friendship – Cagayan de Oro is known as such to most people. The name itself is composed of Spanish words “de”, which means “of”, and “oro”, which means “gold”. Locals also say that it’s known as Kagay-an where Kagay also means “river” and the city became known as Cagayan de Oro or “river of gold” because it’s said that back then, the river was rich with gold ores.
As the regional center of Northern Mindanao, Cagayan de Oro offers a lot of business opportunities, reason why I have been in this city for work a few times already. However, exploring this place as an adventurer gave me a different kind of excitement especially that I was expecting extreme experiences I know I’ll never forget.
Asia’s Longest Zipline
A Cagayan de Oro trip with extreme activities in mind would never be complete without a side trip to Dahilayan Adventure Park. Located at Barangay Dahilayan, Manolo Fortich, Bukidnon, it’s about an hour and a half drive from Cagayan de Oro city. Getting there you’ll pass by Camp Phillips, Del Monte Pineapple Plantation covering 9,000 hectares of land, which was very pleasing to the eyes, and Kampo Juan.
