​Adventure lovers have another reason to visit the island of Cebu. In the northern town of Medellin, the local government set up an eco-adventure park where visitors can get their adrenaline fix. Located in Barangay Caputatan Norte, the park features a number of rides where adrenaline junkies can have the time of their lives.

Eco-Adventure Park

The eco-adventure park in Barangay Caputatan Norte has numerous rides to test the mettle of anyone. One of the more popular rides is the zipline. Visitors zip on a steel wire suspended in the air from one hill to another. The distance between the two hills is around 130 meters. The ride may be one way for people with acrophobia to conquer their fear of heights.

​Another popular ride is the Sky Bike. It is essentially a 125-meter bike trail up on the air. While the ride may not be the cup of tea for acrophobic people, it is an ideal activity for people who love adventure biking. When you are up on the bike, you have a great view of the park. It may be challenging at first, but you will eventually get the hang of it.

​You can also try the Tarzan Jump of the park. In the jump, you go on a 15-foot freefall from a platform positioned along the edge of a cliff. You will be strapped into a safety harness and will swing three to four times before you go back into the platform. There are also instances when visitors would swing up to 180 degrees, but this would depend on his or her weight.

​But, if you are more of the sightseeing type, you can ride on the cable car of the park. You will have an excellent view of the whole place and surrounding areas, including the sugarcane field and coconut trees.

Getting to Medellin

You can get on a bus bound for Kawit at the Cebu North Bus Terminal to get to Medellin. Once you reach the town, you can take a motorcycle for hire going to Barangay Caputatan Norte. Buses headed for the neighboring towns of Medellin are good options in going to Medellin. Once you reach these towns, you can ride a tricycle going to the town of Medellin. The trip takes around three to four hours depending on the traffic.

​While the facility closed after Typhoon Yolanda ravaged Medellin in 2013, it has since reopened and had continued to attract both local and foreign visitors. The eco-adventure park in Barangay Caputatan Norte simply adds to the claim of Medellin as the Ecotourism Capital of Cebu.
