Episode description
Each country has its own beauty and wonders that people can brag about anytime.
I don't want to be boastful about my country but let me show you a glimpse of what we can offer.
Our country is known for the thousands of islands and uncountable white sand beaches that we have. Some are known and some are yet to be discovered.
I believe that you have watched a lot of videos on Youtube about these places but let's dive deeper to a not so common place to visit for tourists.
Let's go for a fresh water dive at the Enchanted River on the island of Mindanao, Philippines.
Sounds enchanting right?
Yes! It should be... because the name was derived from its appearance because it looks so magical. From the sparkling clear blue water of this deep spring river to the different bizarre species of fishes living there. The most mysterious thing here and what risk-takers love is the big cave beneath the surface.
You heard it right. It seems like it's the secret passage to the Wonderland or to Narnia which we have seen in some famous fantasy movies. In fact, people need to wear a diver's suit and equipment and should be accompanied by a professional diver when going down. You know, for safety purposes since the cave is too deep.
I really love the experience going there. Aside from the wonderful place, you'll also feel the adventure throughout the journey. By the way, you might ask how to get there. You can take a flight to Butuan or Davao. From Butuan, take a bus to Hinatuan (around 4 hours) then take a motorbike or tricycle to Enchanted River (around 20 minutes).
After visiting this famous spot, you can also get around and check out the other rivers close to it which almost have the same beauty.
It seems like you're planning to book a flight now. No worries, before you do that, tell me the wonders of your country as well. I might also book a flight to go there.
Now it's your turn to promote your country. Try to flex some of the well-known spots in the best way you can.
1. ENCHANTING - delightfully charming or attractive.
2. GET AROUND - move from place to place
3. FLEX -(informal) a boastful statement or display.
Good luck!
