Close to the giant tourist drawer like Cagayan de Oro and Davao, Bukidnon has already found its place in the heart of the travelers not only for offering succulent pineapple to the world but also for the brimming attractions that it possesses. Sitting conveniently in the highlands of Mindanao, this landlocked province is also the breadbasket of the region with Malaybalay as the capital. The province is also known as the "South Summer Capital" and "A City in the Forest" for having the second highest peak in the Philippines, the Mt. Dulang Dulang (towering at 2, 938 meters above sea level) where the Kitanglad Range Natural Park is located.
Potential activities to engage in this area can range from the simple horseback-riding to hiking the daunting slopes of the pristine mountain to mingling with endemic species of mammals such as the Mindanao gymnure or moon rats, tree shrew, Philippine pygmy, bearded pig and Philippine dear. Rare birdlife can be found here, such as the serpent eagle, red harrier, Philippine sparrow hawk and Brahmin kite and the Philippine eagle lurking at foothills of Lawan, Dalawangan. After the strenuous trek, visitors can head straight to Nasuli and Matin-ao Springs to cool down. For visitors who don't fancy hot springs, the Alalum Falls can be an alternative for its imposing grandeur.
For boat excursion and plain sightseeing, Lake Apo will sure to appear on the list, on top of from the guitar- shape Pinamaloy Lake and Napalit Lake hemmed at the foot of Kalatungan Mountains and famed for its 24 floating islets in different sizes. For the cave enthusiasts, the Sumalsag and Paiyak Caves in Sumilao Mountains can be a good venue to explore some of the most impressive formations of stalagmites and stalactites in the province.
Heading back to the provincial center, visitors can still continue meandering at the historical spots and parks such as the Kaamulan Park (which smells like Baguio for its pine trees), the World War II Prisoners of War Memorial Shrine, and the Dalwangan Centennial Marker standing like an armored sentinel along the Sayre Highway.
September sees tourists descending on the province to witness the Kaamulan Festival, a celebration held to unite the different tribal groups in the province. Other unique festivities are the presentations of native dances like the binakbak or frog dance, the inamo or monkey dance and the bubudsil or the dance of the hornbills—all of which are performed during the wedding ceremony of the tribes.
