Richmond Hills offers modern, peaceful living

MANILA, Philippines - Cagayan de Oro, one of Mindanao’s most progressive cities, combines the best of modern living and traditional Filipino values of hospitality and love for nature.

The city traces its history to the 1st century AD. Little remains of the original city due to a fire that destroyed most of its buildings in 1901. As a result, Plaza Divisoria, a huge area of parks that divide the city, was designed and developed as a fire break. It is where residents can be seen jogging, reading in the sunshine or just having a quiet time.

Cagayan de Oro is known as the City of Golden Friendship because of its friendly and warm people. It is also the land of extreme adventures, which can include white water rafting and trail riding.

In the northern part of Cagayan de Oro is Mapawa Nature Park, a habitat for different tropical breeds of flora and fauna. It is also a place where one can indulge in outdoor activities like trekking and horseback riding.

The Gardens of Malasag Eco-Tourism Village, a cultural village in a botanical setting, is home to Region 10’s tribal communities and endemic plants and trees.

Also in Cagayan de Oro is Macahambus Cave, a historical site dating back to the 1900s. Initao Cave is home to the split-nose bat while Initao National Park is a forest reserve with a natural limestone formation and marine life.

The city is definitely an urban center with popular malls like Robinsons Cagayan De Oro, Ororama, SM, Gaisano and Limketkai Mall. Xavier University or Ateneo de Cagayan is also a source of great pride for the city as it offers quality education, eliminating the need for students to go to other cities.
