Day 1 - Landing in the Historical Heartland

Begin your journey in the Philippines' historical trailblazer, Butuan City. First on the agenda, let's pay a visit to the National Museum Butuan Branch, a historical treasure trove where you can get acquainted with the region's rich cultural heritage. Next, soak in local craftsmanship at the Butuan Handicrafts Center and Bood Promontory 1st Easter Mass Eco Park. Can you imagine an eco-park commemorating a mass? Incredible, isn't it? Let's not forget to savor the local delicacies for lunch. In the afternoon, be prepared to journey into the Agusan River and experience a sunset viewing cruise. Sounds quite dreamy, right?

Day 2 - The Bounties of Nature and the Balangay Voyage

Our second day is dedicated to delving deeper into Butuan's natural bounties and historicities. Ever ridden a water buffalo? Here's your chance at the Almont Inland Resort's Water Buffalo Ride. Post lunch, let's cruise into history aboard the Balangay, the ancient ship of the Philippines, at the Balangay Shrine Museum. The museum literally brings history to life! Be ready to take a mental snapshot of exploring an open landscape amidst the remnants of ancient seafaring vessels. As night falls, enjoy a serene dinner by the Agusan River, under a sky bedecked with stars. A perfect finish to a day in nature, don't you think?

Day 3 - Farewell with Filipino Flavours

Day three will serve as your opportunity to bid adieu to Butuan City, but not before immersing oneself in the local market scene. Let's start the morning with a stroll around Langihan Market, a place throbbing with vibrant energy, where you can buy souvenirs, taste the local food, and chat-up with locals. A heartwarming local lunch later, we'll bid adieu to the city. Are you ready to carry a suitcase full of memories and a heart full of the Philippines?
