Some Says, Others Say, But I Say

"Butuan is not an ordinary place you have visited in a trip. Its rich history has been preserved but it has already evolved industrially. As you witness the different stories of how great Butuan is, you will surely end up looking for flights towards Butuan City. Enjoy!" - Benjo Plaza Ato

Mount Mayapay


           Rising to nearly 700 meters ( 2,200 ft) Mount Mayapay is one of the most impressive monuments in stone that nature has carved in the entire Caraga region. Mount Maypay is very near Agusan Valley, and it one of the favorite destinations of climbers and adventurers. However, the mountain and the area around it is also rich in history, evidenced by the fact that the name Mayapay was derived from the Madjapahit Empire.

     Looming southwest of the Agusan Valley is this majestic mountain plateau. 

       It rises to 2,214 feet (675 m) above sea level. Mount Mayapay got its name from the ancient Madjapahit Empire. The history behind the Sri-Vishaya period bears much meaning and influence of Butuan's pre-historic and archeological discoveries.

      I have never been to this place. They say it is very far from the city. Well, I just hope someday, I will be given the chance to visit this place since this is one of our tourist spots in Butuan City.
