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.

contest. It is the biggest affair of the city.
