THREE TOP ACTIVITIES OR PLACES TO VISIT in Cagayan de Oro :

1. Whitewater Rafting

a 14 rapids along Cagayan de Oro River. The rainy months of September and October are good for intermediate and professional levels (rapids range from class 3 to 4). The rest of the year especially during the dry season is good for novice or amateur rafters.

2. Macahambus Adventure Park



rappel and zip-line across trees a hundred feet above ground.

3. Cock-Fighting

look for the arena along the National Highway in Gusa. The steep-walled concrete arena thunders with hundreds of shouting fans placing bets, as carefully bred and trained roosters in beautiful fighting form do what they're born to do. WARNING: seeing these magnificent and spirited creatures transformed into a limp piece of chicken by the flash of a steel blade may make you become a vegetarian. If not, the losing birds are for sale by the kilo and are rumored to have a distinctive flavor.

WORDS OF WARNING : Since you will be doing a lot of high-risk adventure in Cagayan de Oro, perhaps you would want to purchase a cheap and reliable travel insurance package to protect your holiday!
