Rope Course Conquered!

I have been to Mountain View Nature Park a lot of times already. The last time that I went there was last year after Richard's operation. When we went there, we saw this rope course and since that day, I have always been wanting to try the course. Then the day came last weekend. haha Together with Richard and our other friends, we decided to unwind in Mountain View. 

Upon arriving in the place, we immediately settled ourselves in one of the cottages. We filled our hungry stomachs, relaxed and goofed for a while.




At around 11:00 am, we started the Rope Course Challenge!


Make sure that you are wearing a comfortable outfit plus closed shoes with socks. If you are not wearing closed shoes and socks, and you really want to try the challenge, you can rent one. Before getting on the platform, we also need to sign a waiver. Then the staff will assist you in wearing and securing your harness. They will then orient you of the things that you must and musn't do.



After all the preparation, off we went! 

Level 1 - Walking (easy) :P

Me: "Ohw. This is so easy"
Level 2 - Balancing.

Josie: "Hello there!"
Level 3 - Crossing the net
*wasn't able to capture a picture here*
Level 4 - Zip line!

Wee!
Level  5- Series of Tires

me: "This is fun!"
Level  6 - Swinging steps

Smile2x pa. :D
Level 7- Inverted T's

Then comes the hard part. I'm literally hugging these T's.
Level 8- Balancing. again.

me: "Now, this is getting harder mehn."
Level 9- Surfin'

me: "Woohoo!"
Level 10- The Grid


Level 12- Crawling the tunnel



Level 13- Spider web

Spider Woman. haha
Level 15 - Crossing the logs


Level 15- The String Swing


Level 16- Last stage!


And we made it! Yey!



It was a very tiring yet a very an unforgettable experience for us! One thing is for sure though, maybe I'll be having second thoughts going in the course again. hahaha 

After the grueling rope course, it was time to eat our lunch. Then we went for a walk around the park and in the afternoon, we went for a swim. I was a little disappointed though because the pool's very deep end is not more than 5 feet. -_-



At around 5 pm, the group then boarded the service van of Mountain View and went home as the rain poured heavily.

Quick Escape: Mountain View Nature's Park

Due to some unforeseen circumstances, my plan to visit Inambakan Falls was postponed, but nobody can stop us from enjoying nature, so we found ourselves on a quick escapade to Mountain View Nature's Park located at Sitio Garaje,Busay, Cebu City.

A 15-20 minute drive from the city will get you in Mountain View. If you prefer other modes of transportation, you can either hire a van or taxi, ride a habal-habal (motorcycle) from JY Square Mall or hire the service van of Mountain View for P400.00 (10 pax).

The entrance fee is P 50.00 and you can bring your own provisions with no additional payment. There are a lot of cottages which are free of charge. If you want to have an overnight, there are rooms available and the rates are also affordable (price range: P500.00 - P1,500.00). 


* free tables in the park :)
If you just want to unwind and relax for a day, this is the perfect place to stay. With a lot of trees, plants as well as fresh, cool air, you can temporarily forget your stresses in life.

The park also offers several amenities such as a swimming pool, a rope course, camping sites, retreat and seminar halls, videoke, restaurants and many more. (I wasn't able to take a picture of the pool. My apologies. -_-)

Indeed, this is a great place for family, friends and individuals looking for an escapade from the busy city life. Beat the heat and make Mountain View Nature's Park one of your summer destinations this 2014.
