Mountain Adventure in Cantipla Stream
The long trek from the Valley to the top
Somewhere 20 kilometers away from the city is a small village of Cantipla where life is simple and vegetables are only 15php per kilo.
Following the dirt road
Last Sunday I had the opportunity along with my classmates in Cebu Velez College Biology department, to go to Cantipla Stream. The original plan was actually to go to my uncle raul’s farm somewhere near Tabunan Forest but we were misled and therefore went all the way to the Cantipla stream.
The students eating lunch, taga-bukid style
We were there for studies in Ecology and specimen collection for our General entomology class.
I really enjoyed the experience as we were hiking our way to the place and it just released a part of me that I didn’t know I had.
I was so used to the city life of cars, electricity, internet and all that, that I forgot the joy of just going through life slowly and peacefully. When you are there you just forget everything about deadlines, meetings, works and stuff. You are filled with a sense of peace and harmony with the environment.
I particularly enjoyed the cool stream of water as I dipped my feet into it. My only regret was I forgot to take a picture of the stream was I was really enjoying the place.
We then headed home and we had to push the car because it lacked some LPG. That was the first time in my life that I also got dragged by the car when it started to run. lol.
Someday, if my time permits, I want to go back there and just have some kind of self retreat. The place is really refreshing. You could feel the stress just disappear from your body.
