My Maragusan Trip (Baguio in Davao)

This is a re-post blog from my multiply account. Just heard the news that multiply will soon change its site from a blog site into an online market site and so this transfer.


This was a trip to Maragusan in Compostela Valley Province. The trip was all about work and work which happened sometime in July or August of 2009.


The place is located in the southern part of Davao City and is approximately 140 kms away from Davao City. It's my first time ever to visit the place and with little information about it. Its former name is SAN MARINO and it's a first class municipality in Compostela Valley Province. Maragusan is known as the "Summer Capital of Davao Region" and the "Valley of Springs and Waterfalls". It has over 300 coldspring, 2 hotsprings and more than 30 waterfalls. it is a Baguio like climate and its a typhoon free area. Maragusan has Mt. Candalaga with 7,800 feet above sea level and known to have the world's largest flower - Rafflesia Mira.
One of the best hotel/resort they can offer here is the "Haven's Peak Island Resort. As they say, the visit won't be complete without experiencing the resort. I admired the breathtaking view and the mountainous scenery with the blossom of fresh air as I climbed the 200 plus steps of the almost unending staircase of the resort just to oversee the entire municipality. Climbing those stairs absolutely took away my drowsiness from the trip and renewed my strength from the stressful atmosphere of the city.




This is the front view of the resort.




Thank you for the warm welcome!

I know, even if it's not done yet, that is for sure to welcome every guest that comes along to stay.









So glad I have found this application in the net. Just take a closer look of those pictures which I collage just to save space ;-). The photo collage is a proof that I conquered the almost unending stairs. wew!




And on top, you can order food or sing in the karaoke. They have also this mini stage for night performers.




The breathtaking view of the whole municipality if you're on top of the resort. 


Not much pictures of their rooms but I have a few shots below of their "model houses".



Not much more to say nor pictures to post because this is a round trip back to Davao. I hope I can still go back to the place. It's been three years already and so many changes took place along the way.



How To Get There?


Flights arriving in Davao City International Airport transit to ComVal can be done by land aboard buses at Ecoland Terminal that ply to Tagum City (1 hour travel time) and in transit to Maragusan (2 hours travel time). There are also Van rentals available from Davao or Tagum at special rates.
