Introduction
Endowed with a variety of picturesque landscapes,
Davao's topography dazzles: Fruit plantations
and orchid farms mantle volcano-fed hills and
valleys. Virgin forests nurture rare wildlife.
Coral islands lie on mirror flat water. And the
country's highest peak magnificently lords over
the hinterland.
Just as enchanting is its brilliant tapestry
of harmony, woven from the diverse cultural threads
of its people. In Davao, the contemporary fuses
with the traditional as migrant settlers from
all over the country co-exist in peace with a
fairly large expatriate community and numerous
ethnic tribes who continue to live as they did
centuries ago.
Davao is an anchor tourist destination and one
of the 7,000 times more islands that make up the
Philippine archipelago. It is a natural haven
for both sedate and daring pursuits.
