Famous for white water rafting, kayaking, caving, spelunking and other extreme sports activities, Cagayan de Oro is gifted with natural wonders, resorts, museum, parks and rich history. Those who don't want to get wet but are yearning for a visual treat should visit the Museum of Three Cultures inside Capitol University. It boasts of a collection of Maranao antiques, archaeolog­ical artifacts, arts and crafts from different tribes and a modern art gallery that promotes visual arts and soil paintings by artists from the indigenous com- munity. It also has cast research archives that include Spanish era written documents, photograph­s and memorabili­a of well-known personalit­ies in Mindanao.

Those who are visiting CDO may also explore the nearby provinces of Bukidnon and Lanao del Norte for their majestic mountain ranges, pineapple plantation and breathtaki­ng countrysid­e.

Gastronomi­c delight, meanwhile, awaits those who are headed to Bacolod and Cebu via ZestAir's promo fare for as low as P88 base fare only now available at www.flyzest.com until October 13, 2013.

Dubbed as the City of Smiles, Bacolod is highly urbanized and the most populous city in Western Visayas. Food is the main attraction of Bacolod City. Restaurant­s serve delicious local dishes such as Bacolod Chicken Inasal (Grilled Chicken) and a wide range of internatio­nal cuisines. The city's taste for the good life is impeccable with its historic structures, heritage mansions, sculptures, parks and the seat of local governance known to the locals as the Negros Occidental Capitol is declared a national historical landmark and a top tourist attraction.

In contrast, Cebu is more vibrant and busy but food is also one of its main tourist attraction­s. Since chef and food critic Anthony Bourdain called it the "best pig ever," Zubuchon has become the most popular lechon for Cebu visitors. Abu-han restaurant's pochero or Cebu's version of bulalo (bone marrow soup) is also gaining popularity among local and internatio­nal tourists.

ZestAir offers daily flights from Manila to Cagayan de Oro, Bacolod and Cebu. Promo fares for Tagbilaran, Iloilo, Kalibo, Puerto Princesa, Davao, Kuala Lumpur, Kota Kinabalu and more are also up for grabs at www.flyzest.com.
