JURASSIC PARK & PUNTA DIWATA CAVE: Carmen, Agusan del Norte has improved a lot!

JURASSIC PARK

Time flies swiftly fast. Once again I am here enjoying the beautiful and tempting scenery of Jurassic Park and Punta Diwata Resort of the progressive municipality of  Carmen, Agusan del Norte. Several friends have asked me as to how this getaway looks like considering that I've been here before. I can still recall how exactly I answered their queries and it goes like "AWESOME, however the road is unpaved so expect the worst."  

Despite those butt-aches that I've encountered during my first leap in this place 5 long years ago, I can still remember that I promised myself to be back here in full gear. I mean, I have to bring a better camera to capture every contrary inch of this stunning place.  With those added facilities and well-maintained surroundings, the place has retained its description.  This one-of-a-kind spot is more than worthy for garnering superlative reviews from critics and travelers. This tourist destination is the nicest place in Agusan del Norte, I bet!

DIWATA CAVE & JURASSIC PARK

It took 1 hour murmuring and sacrificing butt-ache while riding "habal2x", it’s a kind of single motor, going to Diwata Cave. It was a wide rough road. That was my first long habal2x trip insofar as memory is concerned. Although the scenery is obviously alluring where a wild flora grows beside the rough roads, my skepticism prevails and I ended up questioning “What’s with this place? Why do people keep visiting this remote place?” I was born to be a nature-lover so most likely I knew what is beautiful and what’s not. My friend kept pointing a place and said “we are going to be there later”. With disappointment I just answered “ahh okay”. The long ride and few chit-chats continued….

I did not appreciate the place since it seems like an ordinary one until the next day when we started roaming around. 

“Amazing” finally I blurted it out as I saw a huge rocks and exquisite caves facing the serene sea. The water was even clear. It was a perfect timing since it was a low tide.  We all had a chance to enjoy another God’s beautiful creation.

This is how it looks like when you are in the top. It clearly shows how huge rocks can be so scary. hahah!

This is the sole big tree that gives shelter to those who wanted to observe the movements of the sea.  This is located near the caves, approximately 10 meters above sea level.

In a few meters away from Diwata Cave, another captivating landscape will surely nourish your eyes’ fantasies and this is popularly known as “JURASSIC PARK”.  Two giant Dinosaurs sculptures welcome you as you enter the said park. 

As we wandered around, we saw different kinds of meaningful sculptures. To name one, we saw naked man, woman and a baby (as seen in the below picture)…the statue is somewhat symbolic for us Filipinos since it talks about our history, it represents how our ancestors live during their time.  

Jurassic park established its own identity by having a cave pool. With misfortune, we were not able to enter the pool because that time the pool underwent maintenance. By just looking at it on top, I, in no doubt, could certainly say the pool is astonishing…oh yeah!

Jurassic park offers rooms for rent which is ideal for honeymoon and also cottages for family gatherings…hehehe…
