After a long wait, finally I was able to try out NPC Nature Park's Zip Line. Zip lining has suddenly became a popular adventure activity now a days. I have been zip lining before so this isn't my very first time, but my first time in NPC Nature Park. Safety Harness + Belts + Head gear  I was lucky enough that i'm with a bunch of photographers that my every move was documented. There were 5 pit stops or jump off point as I previously mentioned from a previous post.  Before ziplinning you have to Submit the receipt from the Registration area to the Zipline Registration in-charge, sign a waiver and your weight will be measured for security and safety reasons. getting ready Before you can zip line you need to be wearing a closed shoes, if you're not wearing one they have shoes for rent at Php 50.00 each pair. However, if you are already wearing one you'll only pay Php 10.00 for the rental of the gloves. Climb...Rest...Cam whore... climb...rest...c...

From Poblacion to NPC Nature's Park in Brgy. Maria Cristina HOW TO GET THERE: +  PUBLIC VEHICLE:  From the Iligan City Proper you can ride Buru-un Jeepney's (travelling Macapagal Avenue Road using Google Maps) and tell the driver to drop you off Maria Cristina Entrance or Mabuhay Vinyl (Just after the bridge). The jeepney fare from the city is 11.00 pesos *(as of 08.08.2011) From there you can walk your way to the gate, that's about 5 to 10 minute walk I guess.

Iligan Bloggers Society hosted a Google Mapping Party last July 30, 2011 at the Sangguniang Panglungsod Session Hall Buhanginan Hills Pala-o Iligan City. That's me at the far left giving instructions to team leaders :) There are 30 registered and 27 RSVP'd  Iliganons who participated the event. It was a fun filled activity mapping the city as much as we can in response to Google's Campaign for Mapping for Red Cross. Marjority of the landmarks and roads are already mapped out. And the team finished almost 95% in the commercial area. Another picture of me during the distribution of certificates I was then using 2 log-ins during the event since I signed in as iliganbloggers and purpleslipperz at the same time, hehe. And to date I am happy to see approved notifications in my inbox. We will surely be organizing another map out soon, and I hope this time a lot more would participate. Thanks Google!

I have been hearing a lot since the park opened. But I haven't really paid too much attention about it yet because of conflict of schedules with friends and family members. That's why when the IBS Members planned to take the FAM tour of the Iligan City Triangle of the Iligan City Tourism, I couldn't hide my excitement to try everything what NPC Nature Park can offer. FROM THE SERIES: So from the 2nd Mechanized Infantry Brigade we went directly to NPC Nature Park. From the gates of NPC Nature Park you will need to register with your complete name and complete address. All individual who wishes to enter the premises needs to be registered and pay 30* pesos for the entrance fee. If you'll go ziplining that's an additional 200* pesos. If you don't have a private vehicle you don't need to worry, you can commute as usual from the city to maria cristina. From the gates of NPC Nature Park you can have a ride for only 10* pesos using the NPC shuttle service.  A...
