Our Lady of Perpetual Help Parish of Maco in Compostela Valley

Every time I went travelling solo, I always want to drop by at church to thank God for his blessings and guide me along the way of my travels. Our Lady of Perpetual Help Parish of Maco in Compostela Valley is a small parish church. The church is painted with blue and inside the church you will find small altar. There is a bell tower at the side of the church. Every June of last Saturday of the month in Municipality of Maco, Compostela Valley is the Kaimonan Festival. The residence want to raised funds which will be used for the construction of a new or bigger church building of Our Mother of Perpetual Help Parish in Barangay Masara, Maco, Compostela Valley where the church is located.

Maco in Compostela Valley & Davao Oriental Boundary

A small municipality in the province of Compostela Valley, has a total of 37 barangays and about 10 minutes away from Davao Oriental. The town has a lot of trees and plantations like corn, sugarcane, cassava and a lot more. One of my goal is to visit their waterfalls and resort but I can't to do this anymore because of lack of time and money as well so I decided touring around the town and get some souvenirs. Some activities are coordinated with a lot bike shops throughout the municipality to promote the fun of riding bikes. Their foods and restaurant is very affordable and delicious. I want to explore more things about the town of Maco soon. 

Tourist Attraction in Compostela Valley: Comval Viewdeck Nature's Park

Finally! I arrived Compostela Valley View deck Nature's Park at 2pm in the afternoon.This view deck allows you to see a wide portion of the mountains, river and plantations in the whole province of Compostela Valley, the area is not totally done but some resident says that this was a big project of the city government for eco-tourism. The tourism is a rapidly growing business in the province. For all nature lover like me and some mountaineers, this is the place to visit in the province. I just spent the whole afternoon in  Compostela Valley View deck Nature's Park before going back to Davao City. 

Off the Road to Compostela Valley Province & Davao Oriental

After a very busy morning at Tagum City in Davao Del Norte, I take a bus bound going to Compostella Valley. Fare is about P20 pesos for aircon bus. The bus is usually bound to Nabunturan, the capital of Compostela Valley. This province Comval for short and a part of Davao Region.Upon arriving at the terminal, I took a quick tour around the market at the terminal of Maco - A small municipality in Compostela Valley. I don't have any ideas about the province. All I know about this province is surrounded with a wide range of mountains, plantations and one of the mining industry in Mindanao. They have also a natural attractions like beaches, waterfalls, forests and caves. The province is currently served by small or medium mining operation. Also accessible for all vehicles passing to this road going to Agusan Del Sur & Norte and roads link  the municipalities with each other. I don't have time to explore and discover the main capital of Compostela Valley or maybe next time.
