Everyone of us loves to explore nature sites just like rivers, mountains, coastal areas and any relaxing places. Here in the Province of Misamis Oriental particularly here in the Municipality of Manticao, there are lots of wonderful places can be seen here. Manticao river is quite far from urbaned sites and it needs to walk or do traveling for a few minutes riding on any public vehicles like Motorcycles, Private vehicles. If we walked all the way going in here, it is also takes almost an hour before reaching the place. Manticao river is the only big bodies of water can found here in the Municipality and it connects lots of Barangays and Sitio including Sitio Linangga. The fresh and cool water was came from the high mountains of Manticao anf it flows all the way here going to the sea.
Lots of big rocks and fine sands can also seen here and one of the most interesting views here are different colors of the stones and also its shapes and sizes. Fish, crabs and shrimps can be seen under water because the water is very clear and aside of that, there are some parts of the place contains a deep water and those who visited here are having lot of fun time splashing in the fresh water. Manticao river is also a place were people or residents washed their clothes and taking a bathed or fetching water for their animals and plants in the Garden.
There are also big rocks here and it was flashing out and washed away from Mountainous areas and the line marks indicates that it was hit by hard and sharp objects during great flood. Those big stones are very important to all fresh water animals like shrimps, fish and crabs. Most of the stones here are silica stones since some of the mountains here are compost with solid silica stones. As I counted those big rocks, it reached ten big rocks submerged in the fresh water. Those who visited here used this big rocks as a chair or tables for their snacks or lunch they brought during their visitation.
This place was once a dry land in fact there are some big barks of the trees and branches submerged in the fresh water. The most interesting is that, there are lots of fish, crabs and shrimps hiding under those things. Every flooding situations, cliffs are eroded and the water channel will also change. Thats the reason why those dry places are now turned into a river.
Each side of the cliff is this wide stones compost of silica stones. Because of the eroded soil, reason why this wide stones are already shown at the surfaces. Each side of the cliff also contains tall trees and wild plants in fact there are lots of wild animals like birds and dangerous animals like snakes. This river is surrounded with tall mountains and lots of streams, fishing activities are also perfect in here in fact there are lots of fishermen doing the activities casting their nets and luckily they also catched lots of fish.
Just like sunset gazing in the coastal areas, river is also perfect to watch sunset. Aside of that, this plain dry river side is a perfect spots for camping trips and picnics. Every summer season, there are lots of people wants to visit here together with their families and friends just to spend a nice and relaxing day here at the river. If we do Nature travel, it is also worth it and perfect to do the activities here and everyone who visited here will really have a good time spending time at the place. Thank you for stopping by, have a nice day to everyone.
