DAVAO


DESCRIPTION

Davao’s topography dazzles with a variety of picturesque landscapes. Fruit plantations and orchid farms mantle volcano-fed hills and valleys. Virgin forests nurture rare wildlife. Coral Islands lie on mirror flat water. And the country’s highest peak, Mt. Apo, magnificently lords over the hinterland.

Just as enchanting is its brilliant tapestry of harmony, woven from the diverse cultural threads of its people. In Davao, the contemporary fuses with the traditional as migrant settlers from all over the country peacefully co-exist with a sizeable expatriate community and numerous ethnic tribes who continue to live as they did centuries ago.

Davao is home of the majestic Philippine Eagle, the country’s national bird and considered the largest eagle in the world. It also boasts of the most prized Philippines orchid specie like Vanda sanderiana and some of the most exotic fruits like durian and mangosteen.

Davao is an anchor tourist destination, a natural haven for both sedate and daring products. It is the jump-off point to satellite destinations on the island of Mindanao.
