I experienced the adventure that Cagayan de Oro City (CDO) is best known for - Whitewater Rafting and River Trekking. One of the most memorable moments of my life. For me, it was totally more than just a trip.
What's the adventure? It's a family style whitewater rafting in the mighty and beautiful Cagayan de Oro River, the longest river in the country. For the advance level, the adventure will cover 18.6 kilometres of its glorious 90 kilometres with 24 major rapids that will last for 3 hours.
I could see the boulders of rock with the strong and fierce water current. It could literally eat me alive. Growing up in Iloilo, I have seen many rivers and I have always believed that they're the creepiest body of water that God have ever created. With all the mud underneath and the brown water, I never thought of having any kind of adventure like this.
