Your guides to Bukidnon and the road up
Written from up on the ridge, the way we'd tell a friend: what the mountain weather does, what the last hour of road asks of your car, and the places worth a detour once you're in Bukidnon.
Where to go next?
Stay a little longer. Follow the ridgelines, wander beneath the pines, and discover the places that make a Bukidnon journey your own.
Camping in Bukidnon
A night at roughly 1,300 meters, high above Malaybalay City. How cold it really gets, what the rainy months change, and the three cozy ways to spend the night with us.
Cagayan de Oro to the ridge
Two to three hours down the highway to Malaybalay City, then about an hour up to Barangay Kibalabag. Where to catch the bus, how the last rough stretch goes, and how to make a weekend of it.
Davao and Valencia to Kibalabag
Malaybalay City is about four hours from Davao City by bus and under an hour from Valencia City. Whichever way you come, the trip ends on the same lovely last hour of mountain road.
Manila to Bukidnon
There's no airport in Bukidnon, so the trip from Luzon is a flight and then a bus. Fly into Laguindingan near Cagayan de Oro or into Davao, ride the highway to Malaybalay City, and finish with the last hour up the mountain to us.
Cebu and the Visayas to Bukidnon
From the islands you can fly or sail. Either way you're in Mindanao within a day, and from Cagayan de Oro or Davao it's the same highway up to Malaybalay City and the last hour to us.
Things to do around Malaybalay
Where to wander once you're in Bukidnon: a pyramid church with monk-roasted coffee, a festival for seven tribes, a cold spring, a crater lake, and the mountain range on your horizon.
