The Kapatagan Experience (Mt. Apo National Park)


CAMP SABROS

The Baguio City-like of Davao Del Sur. A 1 hour and 30 minutes travel from Davao City proper and another 1 hour and 20 minutes from the Digos City highway (before Davao Del Sur Electric Cooperative). The pine trees, the mosses, the ferns and the cold breeze of air , its like your traveling the road of Baguio city.
Along the way you can stop by the cliffs to see the breathe-taking view of the Whole Davao Del Sur. You can take pictures of the clouds hovering over the mountains of Davao Del Sur and with fog covering the mountain tops.
When at the foot of the camp, you will stop at a checkpoint where you have to leave your vehicles and take a hike or take a Skylab-single motorcycle(habal-habal) to take you to the camp proper. A 15 minutes hike to the top or a 5 minutes Skylab, lucky for you if the road is not muddy or else it will be a messy-muddy hike going to the top.

When at the camp, it feels like you are in Baguio city on top of the mountain with pine trees all over the place. But the most eye catching of all is the ZIP LINE. A long zip line of cable going to the other part of the mountain and a cable car ride going back. It cost P 150.00/per ride and every ride is a unforgettable experience.

VIRGIN FALLS

A stunning beauty hidden in the mountain of kapatagan area. One of the attraction of the kapatagan, the Virgin Falls just like a virgin lady so hard to tame.

To get there you have to take a sky-lab and a 10 minutes ride going through a banana plantation. When at the point where you have to take a hike going to the falls, at first it looks pretty easy but it is not. The trail that takes about 30 minutes or more depending on how fast you can get through the muddy and tall grasses. Just be careful with the trail because on the other side of it is a cliff.

The muddy,grassy, and tiring hike going to the falls will be rewarded by a beautiful scene of falling water. The sound of the falling water and the super cold water that you can feel when wash your muddy feet. If you have your camera don't leave the place without having a souvenir pic with the Virgin Falls as your background.
