THE PRIDE OF SAN FRANCISCO(ANAO-ON)

It has been my lifelong dream to use my passion (which is traveling) into profession. Working in DOT is somewhat an answer to my dream. DOT serves as my gate pass to various travels. One more thing I like about this department is that it goes far beyond traveling, this department facilitates in the implementation of anything that has an involvement in giving a tourists a feeling of full satisfaction. My 2nd official travel is San Francisco (Anao-aon), Surigao del Norte.

Not to mention, this Municipality is bestowed with a beautiful spot where City people are being lured with its look. A naturally pristine beach of San Francisco is a good example of a totally pollution-free atmosphere.This place has minimal internet information, no doubt, people from neighboring municipalities rarely choose this place for gathering.

HELLO AGAIN TO DAHILAYAN: I LOVE DROPZONE

rates
Dahilayan is sweeter the second time around. All expenses paid by the Department of Tourism-Caraga Region and that perhaps made it sweeter.

Dahilayan is widely known for its zipline, tagged as “Asias Longest Dual Cable Zipline”. Evidently, the rate of their offered rides did not change. But I think several rides were added to satisfy the adventure-seeker’s desire.

This time I chose DROPZONE since I’ve experienced the thrill of the 940-meter zipline few years ago. After experiencing that 120 feet sky fall, I conclude that dropzoning is way better than ziplining. I’m running of words in describing how I felt after having that dropzone activity. It was indeed scary yet very fulfilling.  I must say, it was really cool! And if I am given a chance to be in Dahilayan again, I'd still choose that ride even if it's a bit pricey.


If I am to compare ziplining versus dropzoning?

Zipline- I say things like “wow….heaven” during the ride.
Dropzone- I say things like “oh my God…oh my God…please forgive me” during the ride. I was calling all the names of the saints I knew during the ride. hahahah

Since we finished dropzoning in less than 5 minutes, I swiftly went outside to try horseback riding. Horseback riding rate is P100.00 per 15minutes. If you only wanted to have a quick ride for picture taking purposes, you could just pay P20.00 to the in-charge.
