Davao City: Eden Nature Park & Resort

My friends in MBA invited me to join them for a 2-day trip to Davao City. When we were there, we hopped in to Eden Nature Park & Resort. It was my first time to be there and I heard beforehand that they have so many rides that made me thrilled and doubled my excitement.

Eden Nature Park & Resort is a mountain resort which is 3,000 feet above sea level and the Eden Nature Park is 95% man-made. It was discovered sometime in 1971 and the resort used to be a logged-over area covered only by a blanket of wild grass.

At the information center upon entering the park. You can find menu of their packages you want to avail during your stay. They have accommodations for overnight stay, lots of rides, tour and food.

"Game Ka na Ba" tv show hosted by Kris Aquino was taped in this location where our undying jump shot was taken. When availing a tour package, you will also be assigned with a tour guide. And our tour guide also happened to be our photographer. She had no choice.

It can be noticed that in most of the locations during the tour, there were lots of statues/structures. They developed this mountain so well with full of trees, flowers, fruits and vegetables.

From this post, we can see the Davao Gulf. At our back down there, there were lots of different kind vegetables planted. Aside from selling these vegetables to the buyers, they also harvest these and prepare for the buffet meals included in the package. 

This is a wishing well with full of gumamela flowers. Anyone who wanted to make a wish can also throw some coins to the well. If you ever tried to browse your friends photos who had been here, you will never miss to see this similar photo and this kind of position. That's because your tour guide will choreograph you all to be exactly like that. LOL

Who missed their childhood? There were lots of toys in this park that are applicable for adults as well. Not only kids will be given chances to play but adults also.

This is one of my favorite rides in this park. This is called the "INDIANA JONES". Actually this is my favorite ride until we landed on the zipline ride later.

See this. This is why I like Indiana Jones. At the end of the cable, there was a stopper and once you ended there, you will bounce and feel the rhythm/thrill of it.

This is our lunch. But wait...where's our lunch? We were not able to take a picture of those green leafy vegetables from their garben due to our stomach complaint. Most of the food in their buffet were vegetables and fruits. Only few meats were available in their menu.

We were tired and about to leave. We saw this landscape with the name of the park so we never  missed the chance to pose with it. You know... for documentation purposes and for others to really believe that we were there (LOL just kidding).

Upon walking to the other side of the park that was not included in the tour package, we saw a car parked on the road. For someone who took this picture, I don't know what he/she thought about it. For someone like me, that was an art... I mean new vocabulary (LOL).

We were so tired and find some place to rest. Someone told us to act that we were really tired for documentation purposes. Unfortunately, different from the meaning of rest were captured. Maui (malayo ang tingin). Carelle (dila-dilaan ang emo). Ako? Mura man ko kalibangon ani uy (Looks like I'm pooping in my pants).

This is called the Sky Rider. This was our last ride but my first zipline ride and the best ride as of the moment. Sky ride for 20 seconds, 200 meters long and 60 ft high. Ride fee for only P150.
