Rappelling down a 65-foot waterfall at Mapawa Adventure Park! |

A scenic horseback ride to the river |
Further on, we mustered enough courage to jump a 25-ft cliff to a swimming hole below. Then, for the finale, we rappelled down the 65-foot Treasure Falls! The initial descent was nerve-wracking; but once you got used to the technicalities and rhythm of handling the rappel, it was an exhilarating and refreshing experience, as we slid down through cascading water onto an awaiting floater below which carried us to the riverbank.
My friend and I accomplished the river trek adventure in less than two hours, right just before I caught a flight back home to Cebu! Hands down, this last-minute invite turned out to be the piece de resistance of my seven-day backpacking trip around Mindanao’s heartland. I highly recommend the park for those seeking the thrill of the outdoors – definitely another reason to visit Cagayan de Oro!
