Kapatagan, DigosCity, Davao del Sur

May 16,2015- A friend and I had a chance to visit this quiet stunning place after an event the day before. Personally, I don't have much interest in this city since it doesn't offer much tourist attraction compared to its neighboring cities and municipalities. Lets see if these photos of our short travel will change your idea of Digos City as much as it did to us :)

Tudaya Falls- 30 min away from Kapatagan proper via "habal-habal" plus 30 min trek

Bolihon Beach Resort


Bolihon Beach Resort is found at Carmen, Agusan Del Norte. Approximately 25 minutes away from Butuan City using private vehicle. This trip was originally an official travel. We were scheduled to conduct a training for the personnel of the Rural Health Unit of Carmen about the Newborn Screening program.

We stayed at Kimberry beach resort where the training was held. For travelers observing a certain budget, this place is advisable.We stayed in an air-conditioned room good for 2 for only 800 pesos (with CR & TV with cable)-nothing luxurious though. They also have a restaurant if you decide not to go to the center of the municipality anymore since it's a little distant from the resort. Since I really love food, I rated their food at.......hmmmmmmm....4?hahahahhahahah....No offense intended, I'm simply not satisfied eating my meals plus the poor service.

After the training, we decided to visit Bolihon Beach Resort.It'll  take you just 5 minutes to reach the place.












The entrance fee is 25 pesos for adults. They have kayak at around 250 pesos per hour -I forgot the others..lol....
If you want to stay for the night, rooms are also available.The place is good, not great though. For people living in nearby cities and municipalities, this is a perfect place if you want to relax.Not crowded and NO long hours of travel.

P.S Im a newbie doing this stuff so please bare with my grammar...lol XOXO
