Escape the Ordinary with CABADBARAN CITY’S Most Stunning Backdrops

BY TREISHA C. ROVERO


LUSONG COLD SPRING

A nature reserve, this cold spring lives up to its reputation as a hidden wonder with crystal-clear water. Amidst the humid climate of the country, visitors can relish the refreshing experience of the cold spring. Large rocks provide opportunities for jumping if you're up for a challenge or can also be spots for relaxation. One of the spring’s notable features is its being safe for swimming despite the rocky terrain, thanks to its gentle current. As the tarpaulin in the area greets you with "Bugnaw pa sa inyong relasyon, (Clearer than your relationship)," locals ensure you leave with a cozy heart.



VIEW DECK

Get a glimpse of Cabadbaran City through this scenic overlook, ideal for early morning jogs or evening camping with friends and family. Situated within the Cabadbaran River Watershed Forest Reserve, where lush greens flourish, this view deck offers a quiet escape. Aside from this, the city government intends to develop the area to support small merchants, providing visitors with an opportunity to enjoy both the stunning vista and local cuisine.



MUSEO DE CABADBARAN

If you're interested in educational and culturally rich destinations, you might enjoy the Museo de Cabadbaran's antique collection. Located in front of the city hall, which is close to ancestral houses and Mt.

Hilong-Hilong via the Mahaba-Baranas Trail, this museum showcases historical documents and ancient Chinese artifacts that reflect Cabadbaran's heritage. Among the exhibits are trade ceramics from the Sung Dynasty, burial jars, spears, rowing paddles, Paleolithic and Neolithic tools, and contemporary folk art collections.



CAASINAN BEACH

Are you searching for Instagram-worthy sunsets and unique black sand beaches? Caasinan Beach is the place for you. Conveniently located,

this beach features cottages and open spaces perfect for family and friends to gather and relax. Visitors can enjoy the convenience of comfort rooms and a small store selling snacks, beer, and soft drinks. Be aware that the currents can be generally strong, so it's important for visitors with children to stay vigilant and keep a close watch on them.


ROSEDALE’S KAPEHAN & SQUASH PANCIT CANTON

There's nothing more relaxing than sipping hot chocolate in front of the majestic mountain view at Rosedale's Kapehan. Enjoy the scenery with their amazing pastries and kakanin, along with hot drinks that perfectly complement the cafe's vibe. Alternatively, if you enjoy pancit canton as many Filipinos do, consider trying a healthier version found in Cabadbaran City. You can try their squash pancit canton, which substitutes squash for the typical flour noodles. This version maintains the familiar taste while adding nutritional benefits from the squash.
