Zipline Adventures

People travel for many reasons: to experience something new, see the sights, and get a dose of adventure. One activity that meets all these needs is a ride along a zipline.

Ziplines are usually metal cables set up from high ground, slanting down to a lower area. Connected to the cable is a pulley with a harness meant to hold people as they zip down to lower ground. The ride is usually a scenic one, and it can feel like flying. Some ziplines will have you propped up in a sittingposition; others require you to lie on your stomach and zip down the line Superman-style; yet another variation involves the rider standing or sitting on a platform or cable car.

Ziplines are becoming more and more popular, not just with die-hard adventure-seekers, but with families and kids as well. Zip zones and adventure parks are cropping up all over the Philippines, and are becoming attractions in themselves. Below is a lost of different zip zones around the country. Click on the names of the establishments to view their contact details.

• A new Tree Top Adventure facility has recently opened in Baguio City's Camp John Hay. Aside from the 60-meter Superman zipline, the facility features the Silver Surfer Ride, which allows guests to glide from tower to tower while standing on a see-saw-like device. (The Tree Top Adventure in Baguio does not yet have a direct line, but inquiries can be made through their Subic branch.)

• If you find yourself in La Union post surfing season, Pugo Adventure (PUGAD) in Pugo, La Union has three ziplines of varying lengths (at 100, 150 and 380 meters) to satisfy your craving for adventure and an adrenaline rush. The ziplines cross over rice fields and a river through the village of Kagaling.

• The Treetop Adventure facility in Subicoffers adventure packages for groups. A ride on their Superman zipline, spanning 130 meters, is a part of an adventure package that includes traveling through the treetops by crossing hanging bridges and motorized cable lines.

* Green, ripe, and dried mangoes - Philippine mangoes are among the best in the world.
* 'Durian' - smells like hell but supposedly tastes of heaven, most common in Davao but can usually also be bought in some supermarkets in Manila.



Desserts/ Sweets:

* 'Sampaloc candy'- salted and sweetened tamarind fruit




* 'Mais con Hielo'- a dessert of fresh sweet corn served in a glass mixed with crushed ice and milk.



* 'Halo-Halo' - another refreshing dessert which is a mix of sweetened beans and fruits, such as sweetened bananas, red and white beans, sago, crushed ice and milk and topped off with leche flan and ube jam and/or ice cream
