Maya on the Block: Chasing foliage at Eden Nature Park

Are you one of those who want to unleash their adventurous spirit or just want a quick escape from their monotonous work and stressful life? Why not try mountain and boulder trail trekking.

For some, mountain and boulder trail trekking is their way of immersing with the beauty of wilderness, of being one with nature. But for others, its their way of conquering their fear of scaling new heights.

Yes, its physically and mentally demanding yet super fulfilling.

They say this activity is not for everyone but my eager self wants to find out what I’m capable of.

Thanks to Eden Nature Park and Resort, I was able to realize this urge that keeps on tingling in my mind.

Recently, Eden invited me, along with the members of the Davao Hotels and Resorts Sales and Marketing Association (DHRSMA), to try its mountain and boulder trail trekking offering. No second thought, didn’t even hesitate, I gladly accepted the invitation.

Mountain and boulder trail trekking activity at Eden was a new experience for me because whenever I visit the resort, I either try its skyrider, skycycle, skyswing and horseback riding or go straight to Vista restaurant to enjoy its sumptuous food.

Before we started the trek, we had an orientation then we were divided into small groups.

The trek started very well as the cool crisp mountain breeze, which Eden is known for, greeted us. Some of us shared jokes, some were enjoying the greenery, the flowers and the sounds and sights of nature.

Excited to experience the next level, each group was in a hurry to finish the first stage, the mountain trail.

The second stage was a bit more challenging, the boulder trail. We clambered on the rocks, slid in the mud, and clawed in a narrow and muddy trail.

After an hour and a half, we successfully conquered the trails.

It was fun and we congratulated each other for finishing strong.

Not sure about the others, but for me it was exhausting yet exciting and gratifying.

The activity made me appreciate the entire ecosystem and mother nature itself plus it gave me a chance to take a break from everyday stress, and enjoyed the fresh air. It helped me achieve a sense of satisfaction.

Eden Nature Park not only satisfies your need for adrenaline rush but it’s also the destination where you can find real adventure.
