ROCKCLIMBING AND RAPPELING IN QUEZON, BUKIDNON

Businessmen and investors recognize the town of Quezon, Bukidnon as the home of Bukidnon Sugar Milling Corporation (BUSCO), one of the two sugar mills in the province.

Travelers and passersby cannot turn their eyes away from the marvelous white rocks that wall the grand mountains while tracking the Pulangui Bridge that borders Quezon and Maramag. Below the white rock cliff is the wonderful, refreshing Blue Water Cave.

 Adventurers, however, see more of these. The white rocks are not just a mere backdrop to enthralling poses but also a good site for rock wall climbing. The approximately 45-meter high bridge is not just a transport infrastructure but also a rappelling site, added its nauseating height and raging waters of Pulangui River.

The cliff is a favorite photo backdrop of the travelers
