Sitio Makawa is not only a village or Sitio enhabited with Native people and Agricultural areas. Wonderful and paradisiacal place are also hidden in the midst of this areas and a perfect spots for summer adventure. For today's Nature travel blog of mine, allow me to share the hidden gems gifted by the Nature and this is the Nature views of Sitio Makawa and Kabingatan border point. All of this areas are located in the Municipality of Naawan in the Province of Misamis Oriental and it is far from Main road here in the Province. From the Main Road, it needs to travel almost an hour by walking but different kinds of vehicles can also accessible in here just like Cars, motorcycles, bicycles and tricycles.
Sitio Makawa-Kabingatan Border is surrounded with bodies of water like Streams and river. Residents will have hard time to crossed at the river specially when there is a flood. As for that, the Non-Government Organizations and Local Government decided to built this steel bridge at the place. It helps to all residents to cross the river even if there is flood. Vehicles like bicycles and Motorcycles can also cross by here and the Goods are well transported easily. This long bridge is made of steel supporting with strong cable wires and flat metal bars as floors at the bridge. This bridge is surrounded with tall trees, and agricultural crops and plants like Bananas and coconuts. This is also one of the most popular steel bridge here in Manticao-Naawan border point and many people who visits the place likes to take pictures.
River also gives a great contributions to all residents here and also to all farm raised animals and plants. This cool and fresh water was came from the Mountainous place of Manticao and flows all the way down here at the border. It is surrounded with tall cliffs and bamboo plants. Every summer season, there are lots of people who came from far places wants to visit here just to do swimming and washing their clothes. Fresh water animals like shrimps, crabs and fish also lives in here and a perfect spots for fishing activities. The place keeps always cool because of the tall and big trees that gives its shades to the river.
If we talked about big trees, this areas contains few of it just like Mahogany, molave, germilina and Balete trees in fact some of it are very old. At the mountain slopes lies this series of trees planted to prevent the soil from getting eroded and also a big and old balete trees grows near at the cliff. Expected to have lots of wild animals like birds, lizards, wild cats and even snakes and insects.
At Kabingatan Mountain, the place were lots of slopes can be seen and found. This group of People was having a lot of fun time climbing the mountain and truly it will really an adventure one. This mountain contains lots of peebles and silica rocks, the road trail at the slopes is very slippery because of the peebles that is why it needs to be more careful by walking. At the mountain is the areas were lots of coconuts, bananas and corn plants and few farm raised animals.
The stream at Kabingatan Mountain also contains this very old deep wheel. Native people dug a hole near at the spring, it gives a great contributions to all specially in house purposes. Even if it has an intense heat, this spring will not be dried and it still continously produced lots of fresh water.
Some of the water flows at the cliff in fact the residents put some pieces of Bamboos so they can get water very easily. I tried to drink the water from the spring and it is very refreshing and relaxing.
The water flows all the way down to the stream and this rocks was already eroded by running water. Most of the rocks here are house sizes, most of the residents also washed their clothes here and they placed their clothes in this wide and big stones.
For historical stories, this place also contains of it just like this one. This was a cave were ancient people lives that time and as many years has past, the cave was already collapsed because of Natural calamaties like earthquakes nad flash floods. Rocks are already covered with ferns and mosh and a flowing water near at the stones. Visiting this areas is perfect and relaxing and we can see lots of wonderful views. Until next posts, have a nice day to everyone.
