Getting to Eden Garden Resort...
It was a chilly afternoon when we departed from our home at Bago Gallera going to Eden. We hailed a taxi for a fixed rate ("pakyaw system") for 400 pesos. Not bad. Some taxi drivers would ask bigger than that amount, so we took the deal without further hesitations. Bago Gallera is just 5 minutes away from Toril, so we reached Eden Garden at 1:30 pm, about 30-minute travel.
Savoring the moments with my family.. (Nov. 16, 2013, @1:45 PM)
Since we wanted to maximize our time and experience the nature, we immediately headed to our room to leave our baggage, and we jumped off right away to different activities. First, we toured the site for 85 pesos per person via the resort's shuttle. It brought us to various spots, where we took nice pics at every stop.
First stop: Flower Garden
Second Stop: Amphitheater
Behind The Rainbow Pass
Third Stop: Tinubdan
Tinubdan (Cebuano term) means origin or root. This spot showcased different tribes of Mindanao, customs, herbal plants used by the tribes, and their so-called payag (hut out of bamboo). Take a look...
Side Pics....
I was able to capture pics while the shuttle was running.
Lettuce Garden...
Other Vegetation....
Once-in-a-lifetime-Adventure - Horseback Riding
After our shuttle tour, we headed to another resort's area where horseback riding took place. It was so distant from our hotel, so we requested a shuttle to bring us there and at the same time to fetch us. (it's all free for hotel's guests only)
Yum, Yum, Yum Time
There was so much food to choose from since the meal was in the buffet format. Should I have dessert first? or garden salad? or pasta? Well, all you have to do is pick, pick, and pick as many as you can.
Dinner is ready...
Sumptuous Breakfast....
Wonderful Morning (Nov. 17, 2013)
There's nothing more exciting than experiencing the wonderful morning at Eden. We could hear the birds' chirping, trees' swaying with the breeze which made the place even chillier. Huh! Love to breathe the oxygen that slowly entered my nostril up to my whole system.
Feels like swimming into an ice-cold water
Water at Eden was extra-mega-cold. So we spent only for 30 minutes dipping into the water.
Extra itineraries....
Right after swimming, we maximized our remaining time by trekking and capturing pics....
Fishing Village....
Butterfly Garden....
Trekking into Man-Made Jungle
Adventure Ride called Indiana Jones
Mesmerizing! Relaxing! Amazing! Stress-relieving! What else should I say to describe our overnight-stay at Eden Garden Resort? Nothing more, I thought. Two thumbs up for Eden Garden Resort.
