This is a bit of a late entry but it's the best part of my trip to Cagayan de Oro. On the last day before going home some of us stayed to do some canyontreking. The pictures kind of show how beautiful the valley was, much better in person (minus the fact that there were snakes, see the yellow one, the guides didn't really answer the question as to if there were many poisonous snakes around. I put it to faithe that I would survive). I t was an easy enough trek along the river with places where we had to jump, rapel, or slide down to the next level. The guides were great and for those that had to overcome fear of heights, it was a great challenge to jump 20 feet and rapel about 60. I realized that my fears were not so bad as some. I did have to take a big breath and mentally push myself to jump off the cliff. You can see in the picture where we are all on the ledge, what the view was like before jumping (if you looked down). The picture of the tracker shows the transport we took to the river. The guides were very good at giving the story of the forest plants and the history of the place. Some pretty big trees as you can see.
