The Relaxing Views of Manticao River in Manticao, Misamis Oriental

Having a relaxing and wonderful place are parts of Nature's gift for us. Some of it can be located at Mountainous places, Coastal areas, Plains, Seas and most of all Rivers. For today's travel blog I've created, allow me to take all of you and explored the wonderful place here in Manticao River, located in Manticao the Province of Misamis Oriental. For centuries, this rivers changes its wideness depends on hiw big the flood is but despite of that, it gives a great contributions to all people who lives near at the river. This place is quitely far from Provincial road or any crowded and urbanized places. It needs to walk many kilometers away, but different kinds of vehicles like trucks and any private vehicles can also accessed going in this place.

This river is located at the middle of the mountainous places and forestry areas in Manticao, aside of that it surrounded with lots of bamboo trees, wild plants and Native hardwood trees.

This river holds a great stories of the past, according to the elders here this place was once a stream only and only few waters flowed in here. For many years has past, the stream was slowly turned into a big river collapsing tons of soil and big rocks. This big chunks of rocks was already washed out due to big flash floods and it came down from the mountain. I can truly imagine how this big stones flashed away by strong water currents because of its line marks on the stone surfaces. There are cracks everywhere and it is expected that this big stones came from a long way.

Every summer, there are lots of people who came from far away places just to do for a swim here and some of them are having a lot of fun and enjoyable time making camps on the riverside. Every heat season, the water here at the river is very clear even shells and bed rocks can be seen. Aside of that, lots of fish, crabs and shrimps can also be seen in the water and most of all the coolnes and relaxing water flowed down from mountains. The river is very clean, not even a single trash or garbages here. The views is very Natural and relaxing due to lots of tall trees and wild plants grows in here. Truly this is a perfect place for summer adventures.

The entire place is covered with some wild grass and this is always happens every heat or summer season. The place near at the river is also perfect for animal ranch were Cows and Carabao tied on here because of lots of grass. Those peebles and big rocks are also flashed away due to previous floods happens here. Near at the river is also a small garden but it already abandoned by the owner. This place was once a dry land were lots of big molave trees grows, but as many great floods happens here, the soil continuos to collapsed and the trees started to washed away. There are few trees still submerged under the sand for many centuries already.

Bamboos are already grows many years already in fact this can help and give the place a shady and cool areas. Those bamboo trees grows at the top of the cliffs and it helps the soil of not being collapsed or eroded. This high cliffs are very soft and easy to erode that is why this bamboo plants will not be remove or cut. Lots of wild animals like birds and snakes lives in this thick forest and it creates sounds everytime when there is a strong winds.

Just like a swimming pool right? But this is a shallow deep fresh water at the river. Children are having a lot of fun time swimming in here and aside of that it also contains lots of fish. Under in this shallow water are lots of big stones and sands, and truly this is a Natural Made swimming pool. Visiting Manticao River is very fit especially for those who loves Nature and travel adventure. Until
