In Cagayan de Oro, one of its highlights is the River Rafting. The river rafting allows you to play with the currents and enjoy a splash proof adventure with friends and family.
Cagayan River, often called as Cagayan de Oro River, is one of the rivers draining the northern central part of the island of Mindanao in the Philippines. The river has its headwaters in the Kalatungan Mountain Range found in the central part of the province of Bukidnon. It traverses the Municipalities of Talakag, Baungon and Libona, picking up tributaries along the way. It finally empties into the Macajalar Bay at Cagayan de Oro City in the Province of Misamis Oriental.
The river rafting can be most enjoyed by a group of people and is usually done during the day to see the 36o degree view of the river.
The stretch from Barangay Dansolihon to the city provides you with strikingly beautiful panoramic view of the river rocky walls, untouched vegetation and the sight of the resting haven of monkeys. It has breathtaking rapids that provide the more adventurous with thrills and challenges of rapids intervals not less than 10 – 15 minutes of each other. Cagayan de Oro river has everything that makes for a memorable experience with awesome roar and power of water cascading over rocks and boulders.
Upon Visiting Cagayan de Oro, I made it as my requirement to try the river rafting for a more dangerous yet adventurous day.
