There’s no other place like home if you’re a true Kagay-Anon. Even if you traveled far and wide to many places, yet, you still miss the small, bustling, and peaceful city. Cagayan de Oro is home to almost 500, 000 people and more. With a few tourism spots and business ventures, CdeO would soon be the next haven for the Philippines.
Today, Cagayan de Oro city is slowly becoming one of the booming cities in the country. The city was known to generate income, as well as attracting tourists, particularly foreigners. Also, the place has a lot to offer: that includes big malls, hotels, “gimmick” sites, theater performances, parks, recreation areas, dining sites, schools and institutions, bank and commerce, and more.
Another tourism spot, Monigue Cave is located at Barangay Mabuaya. This cave is known for its beautiful sparkling formations called the Calcium Carbonate (CaCO3) or Calcites. The cave is mesmerizing, yet, getting inside the cave is a bit difficult. Since the cave is the entrance of the flowing water from the underground stream, there is a chance you might get wet, so be prepared. If you reach the small opening that is too narrow to be passable, with 6 inches airspace between the ceiling and the water, you may have to submerge yourselves one by one, complete with helmets and waterproof cap lamp. The results may be rewarding as soon as you took the tricky route to reach the destination.
here are still a few tourism sites that are worth mentioning, but it would be better if you come and get a taste of the sights and sounds here in CdeO. You won’t have a thing to worry about the place being boring. Besides, the people here are friendly, and hospitable. No wonder the place lives up to its reputation — it’s definitely the “City of Golden friendship.”
