Let's Explore the Beauty of Mindanao--KIDAPAWAN

Kidapawan is known for Mount Apo and it's abundance of fruits and highland springs. In this city you can see gazillions of fruits, trees, falls, animals and beautiful places combined. It is called city but it is the most unpolluted metropolis in the local. I can say that Kidapawan can be one of the tourist destination that the Department of Tourism help hullabaloo and be known as one of the best in the country.

The best place to have family bonding, nature encounter, mountain trekking and swimming without getting eewie tan lines is Lake Agco, a resort that is just like your favorite coffee that you can choose whether to have it cold or hot. I have been here for like a million times and I have seen this resort change into a finest tourist trap.

Going up in the lake is not that hard especially when you have your own vehicle. But for those who don’t have their own car or for those who want to have an adventure before reaching the foot of Mount Apo, you can ride their transportation called “habal-habal” it is a single motorcycle with an extended seat at the back. It caused us before 50 pesos per person. Entrance fee is not a problem, it only cause 15 pesos per person, very affordable right?

If you wish to have an overnight in the resort, there are rooms available it depends on the room you rent, the last time we rented a room it caused us 500pesos and it is worth it, no need to have an air-conditioned room since the weather there is always cold. Nipa hut or a cottage costs around 100-300, you can also put up your own tent. The resort also allows the vacationers to cook and grill their own foods.

This is the photo outside the resort and the small nipa hut is where you pay your entrance fee for the Jacuzzi.

The Jacuzzi is located near the entrance and you only need five pesos to experience the hot steam and Jacuzzi. 


This photo on the left is the way going down to the Jacuzzi.

The main Lake is located outside the resort and it is open for everyone, no fees needed. To reach the main Lake you need to hike for i think ten minutes, but you will never feel the tiredness because of the trees you around you while walking.
