Why Not Go

If you are planning to go to a quiet place, Cagayan de Oro may not be your best choice. It

is a bustling metropolis and tranquility is just not one of its strong features.

Why Go



Into the Rapids: One of several boats that day that started off earlier downstream. It was

not a pleasant river color. The rains during the season washed away topsoil from the river

banks. This rafting is classified as a Class 1. There are several other jump off points of

higher levels(Class 2 and above). I don¶t know if there¶s a class 6 though as the river seems

to be smaller to have a class 6 rafting route.

There are so many things for you to do in Cagayan de Oro. From fun time frolicking in the

beaches, to sports adventures and street parties, you can definitely experience it in this

city. Cagayan de Oro is very well known as the White Water Rafting capital of the

Philippines, too.

Best Time to Visit

Cagayan de Oro is said to be a typhoon-free area but it has not been able to escape rain

showers and some depressions. The best time to go when weather is a consideration would

be from March to June as it is sunny during this time.



However, if you would like to see colorful festivals and street parades, you should go there

around the 4th week of August as this is the time they celebrate the Kagay-an Festival, an

annual fiesta of sorts where there will be parades, street dancing, trade fairs, and a beauty

contest. It is the biggest affair of the city.
