The municipality of Maragusan, nestled in the highlands of Davao de Oro Province in the Mindanao region, is a rising ecotourism gem in the Philippines that enchants with its cool climate, lush landscapes, and breathtaking natural attractions.
Known as the "Summer Capital of Davao Region," this mountain town offers a tranquil escape for nature lovers and adventure seekers alike.
Surrounded by verdant hills and misty mountains, Maragusan is home to cascading waterfalls and natural hot springs. Visitors can trek to the majestic Tagbibinta Falls, with its 700-foot drop framed by dense rainforest, or unwind at Marangig Falls, a series of gentle cascades perfect for a refreshing dip.
Whether you’re seeking a peaceful retreat or a base for eco-adventures, Maragusan is a rewarding detour from major Mindanao cities like Davao City or a complement to other nature destinations such as Lake Sebu in South Cotabato or Siargao’s surfing beaches.
