FIVE PROVINCES:
DAVAO DEL SUR:
When it comes to eco and highland adventures, Davao del Sur is the perfect place to be. Start by scaling the king of all mountains, Mount Apo, the Philippines’ highest at 2,954 meters above sea level. It also boasts of various mountain trails depending on one’s skills level.
The province also leads in the preservation of local arts and traditions with their array of cultural villages, including the Salinta Monon Weaving Center in Digos City, named after the late National Living Treasures awardee who once taught the art of Inabal weaving, and the Tibolo Cultural Village, which showcases the culture and traditions of the Bagobo-Tagabawa tribe at the foot of Mt Apo.
Davao del Sur also has various outdoor leisure attractions, such as upland gardens, cafes and resorts adorned with artistic installations, situated along the Kapatagan-Bansalan corridor.
Must-buys from the province include Bansalan coffee, inabel fabric, fresh organic produce, and Bagobo-Tagabawa trinkets and accessories.
