Sidetrip: First Zipline in Cebu (Doce Pares Mountain Training Park)

February 17, 2010 by Edcel 7 Comments

This is a late post about our zipline adventure in Doce Pares Mountain Training Park. We went there last December 18 as it was Sheena’s 22nd birthday. I wanted her to experience something unique aside from blowing candles on a birthday cake.
Doce Pares Mountain Training Park is located in the borders of Barangay Busay and Malubog in Lahug. To get there, you can drive all the way to JY Square in Lahug, and follow the road going the Transcentral Hi-way. If you are commuting, you can drop by JY Square and ride a habal-habal to Doce Pares Mountain Training Park. That should cost you roughly 50 pesos per person. I also heard that the mountain park does have their own carpool which will pick you up from JY square and drop you off on the same place once you are done.
Doce Pares Mountain Training Park boasts to be the first place who had a Zipline in Cebu. I have always wanted to try the zipline in EAT Danao, Bohol but have falied to make a plan to visit the place. When I heard about this zipline facility in Cebu, this sure got me pumped up.
Upon reaching the entrance gate of Doce Pares Mountain Training Park, you will need to pay 20 pesos entrance fee and then you can get in. Once there, just go near the start point of the jump to pay your 100 pesos and get your priority number.

 

 100 pesos is good for two 185-meter rides, so it will cover more or less 370 meters of pure zipline fun. I’d have to say that it is a really short ride. Once you start enjoying it, you come to realize that you are now nearing the end of the line. They do have a plan of putting up a 400 meter line. I am looking forward to that and we will come back to experience the ride again.

 

It would be best to go there on a group as you will have enjoy more as you can share the laughter, have a picnic and even pick on your “macho” friends who shouts like a girl during the slide. IF you don’t go on a group, you going to end up taking a picture and a video of yourself during the ride ( that is what happened to us). I was bringing my DLSR and my phone (as a video cam) to document the ride. That made the ride even more intense knowing how many months I saved for those gadgets and it might fall to the ground and break into pieces.

We will be back once the 400m line is up! If you are in for the “short” thrill, visit Doce Pares Mountain Training Park now!
