The sprawling,
62-hectare Dasoland Family Adventure Park, a new eco-tourism destination set in
vast and remote mango plantation, has a number of theme
areas, around 3,500 mango trees plus a Japanese Garden, Cactus House,
Bamboo setum (a showcase of different kinds of bamboo varieties) and Flower
Park.
It also has two authentic,
pyramidal-roofed Ifugao houses, knocked down from its original home in
the Cordilleras, transported here and then reassembled. For those who
want to stay overnight, there are airconditioned cottages with bath and, for
recreation, there are two swimming pools (adult and kiddie), a boating lagoon,
gazebos, picnic huts, children's playground and mini-golf course.
You can
also explore the resort through horseback riding and
biking. The Nativity and Santa Village has an enormous
collection of Santa Claus bric-a-brac ranging from the life-size to the
miniature. Around it are life-size dioramas of Nativity scenes.

The resort also has a display
of World War II memorabilia (Willys jeeps, trucks, ambulance, etc.), kalesas (horse-drawn
carriages used in the Philippines) and farm implements (plows, carts,
etc.).
For animal lovers, Zooland has a collection of ostriches, pink and
orange-colored flamingos, snakes, cassowaries, cockatoos, horses, a dwarf pony,
etc. while the Butterfly Garden, built to show the life cycle of
butterflies, features some of them in free flight and swirling around us.
The two-storey
Villa, a faithful reproduction of an ancestral bahay na bato (stone
house) with a fountain in front, sliding capiz windows, grand
staircase and a showcase collection of century-old Philippine furniture
collected from around the country. It is also a venue for painting exhibits and
folk dancing and singing.

Hi,
ReplyDeleteRecently I came across some great articles on your site. The other day, I was discussing (http://firingyourimagination.blogspot.in/2011/05/dasoland-family-adventure-park.html ) with my colleagues and they suggested I submit an article of my own. Your site is just perfect for what I have written! Would it be ok to submit the article? It is free of charge, of course!
Let me know what you think
