initao national park

well, the place are preserved, clean, always monitored by the government and they have stop over comfort room.. its a sign well preserved environment, hoping for further security to enhance more animal to be in the place or to have a little zoo.

its an area with big trees..caves,and snakes..it also has a rocky cliff along a stretch of beach that is nice to snorkel with corals..its a bit hard to access the beach but there are some entry points..to the north is the best..its a walk down the cliff..the swim involves swimming along the cliff side with not many places to rest if the tide is up..its a 1/2 mile swim..no beach at all..only rocky cliffs...the corals are close ..low tide is the best time to visit..its a quiet place not many people..its has places to rest in the park..the forest walk is nice..a bit spooky at night..i saw one of the biggest snakes in the area a boa constrictor ..big..also in the ocean i saw one of the biggest sea snakes..thats a scary treat..harmless unless provoked //black and white a sea delight..

Simple but great way to enjoy some Filipino native area.

We were visiting my boyfriend's family who have a beach house about 15 minutes away. We were a bit stir crazy so decided to head over to this part. We walked around in the middle of the day in the nice shaded and areas. The following morning we decided to return and go caving. For 400 pesos we had two guides with flashlights for our group of three. They were super friendly, and one was so happy taking pictures of us. These caves are only suitable for people who are physically fit, and not afraid of tight spaces. We crawled on our hands and knees at points, but it was a true blast getting super dirty.There were four caves to visit, first the bat cave, the second was with a rare bird, the third was you typically stalactites and stalagmites. The last cave was super fun, crawling (my arms are still sore two days later), the cave leads down to the ocean side.. super nice view.Well worth the money and the guides were great, we tipped them at the end. If we had more time I'd would have loved to snorkel the preserved coastline. We were told that there are great sea turtles and nice coral to see. Next time :)Also the park has nice picnic areas... Its only 10 pesos for local to enter, and 30 for foreigners...

i luv the rocks and it's really a forest. my dislike no rooms for overnight.

A metà strada circa tra Cagayan de Oro e Iligan la strada attraversa l’area “Initao-Libertad Protected Landscape and Seascape”. Ci siamo concessi solo una sosta brevissima anche perché il tempo non era ottimale ma l’ecosistema appare interessante e ho visto che vengono offerte tante attività. Peccato non aver avuto più tempo.
