Garden of Malasag


Garden of Malasag

Many years ago when Spanish colonists added the words "de Oro" ("of gold") to the name of the old coastal settlement of Cagayan, they were referring to the specks of gold they had discovered in the Cagayan River. But today the terms has come to describe the "Golden
Friendship" of a city known for its warm people and old-fashioned hospitality.


Softly nestled within the slopes of Cugman Watershed in Cagayan de Oro City is a cultural domain of natural wonders aptly called the Gardens of Malasag Eco-Tourism Village. Conceptualized in 1991, this ecology friendly cultural
habitat was dreamily inspired by the picturesque gardens of Granada in Spain and Butchart Gardens of Canada. With breathtaking view of the Macajalar Bay, the Gardens of Malasag Eco-Tourism Village distinctly sits on a 7.2 hectares prominently etched with nature and eco-trails, connecting to a reforested area.

Gardens of Malasag give visitors a colorful glimpse of the ecology and rich ethno- Filipino heritage of Northern Mindanao showcased through various artifacts, customs and traditions, flora and fauna amidst a reforestation setting.
