Davao Travel Guide
With its thriving economy and well-preserved cultural heritages, it is no wonder why most people dub Davao City as the premier city of the South. Located in Mindanao's southeastern curve, this bustling metropolis teems with modern amenities, urban attractions, amusement parks and places of worship that are sure to make one's stay in the city well worth it. The downtown marketplace is a cornucopia of the island's freshest tropical fruits such as golden mangoes, and the malodorous yet equally delicious spiky durian. As progressive as Davao is, the locals still maintain majority of their customs and traditions, such as common courtesy especially to the elderly.
Davao City is an ideal springboard to the neighboring natural wonders, notably the Philippines' highest peak, Mt. Apo. Avid hikers heed the call of the towering mount and are well-rewarded with a terrific view of the nearby waters and the cities that look like pinpricks of light from the summit. Nature lovers who aren't up to the mountain hype can head out to the Philippine Eagle Center, which is a conservation facility for the country's national bird and largest eagle in the world.
