All Moments About Cateel
Explore DAVAO ORIENTAL
We have been to Davao Oriental for several times already but whenever we visit, there's always another gem discovered.
This time, I did not do backpack travelling since I am with the family. We decided to rent a van because we wanted to explore more beautiful attractions.
We left Davao around 4 in the morning and arrived in Davao Oriental at 6 in the morning. We took our first stop in Aliwagwag and right away we took our pictures along the road and displaying the beauty of the falls. That time, their Eco Park isn't open yet due to Covid-19 ordinance.
Second stop is the lake Cartagenas. 50 pesos for the environmental fee per pax. The cottage ranges 500-1000 pesos. You are allowed to bring your food. Then we rented a bamboo raft to explore the lake. I don't know how to swim but you can rent a floating device or even a life vest for 50pesos.
Next we did a quick stop over to Sunrise Boulevard, took some photo and finally we went to POO sandbar. Sadly that time, the water isn't clear and the sand did not actually show up since it is a little high tide.

๐ฃ๐ฃ [Tips] my advice is to visit during summer (April)
If you are going to visit enchanted river rent a car then leave early in the morning so that you can visit all other falls along the way and bring attire for swimming. you can visit Enchanted river, Aliwagwag falls and Tinuy an falls in 1 day if you rent a car and leave eary in the morning in Davao if your vacation days are limited or you can stay in Bislig then when you go back to Davao take the road near the sea.

The Biltmore House is the largest privately-owned mansion in America. This castle was built-in 1895 in the French Renaissance style. The combination of Fall foliage with the fairy-tale castle makes it the most sought-after wedding destination.

Skopelos is a perfect little paradise with a lush green landscape. In the Fall, the temperature is pleasant, and the island is quieter. Couples come here for a religious wedding. Skopelos Town Hall and Agios Yiannis Chapel must be on your checklist.
