Description
Discover the best of Butuan City through this day tour to its top spots like Bood Eco Park and the Banza Church Ruins. This is a perfect trip for first-time visitors to Butuan City, as you’ll get to visit some of its best sites all in one day. This day tour is also inclusive of hotel pick-up and drop-off, complimentary lunch, transfers, entrance fees, and the service of a guide.
Your tour starts at 4 AM when your guide fetches you from your accommodations in the city. Then, you’ll make your way to your first stop of the day, the Bood Eco Park. This site is popular for its historical and cultural significance as it’s believed to be the spot where the Portuguese explorer Magellan and his crew held the first Catholic mass in the country in the 1500s. Apart from its importance as a cultural attraction, the park also boasts lush gardens and a hanging bridge from where you can get a fantastic view of the surrounding areas.
Following your time at the eco-park, you’ll head to the Butuan Museum to look at various artifacts and exhibits that depict the city’s rich history. Among the museum’s highlights are various displays of decades-old boats. These boats were excavated in the 1970s and have been widely considered the oldest archaeological examples of wooden watercraft in the Philippines.
Next, you’ll visit the Banza Church Ruins, which dates back to the 1620s. What remains of the church today is a part of the bell tower, which sits in the shade of a towering balete tree. After spending time in this solemn and serene space, you’ll end your tour with a stop at the Bequibel Shell Midden, a respected excavation site where various artifacts that date as early as 7,000 years ago were found.
