Nature has its own way of entertaining people. Beaches flaunt wide stretches of white sand shorelines. Waterfalls marvel their spectators with their forceful water drops from towering heights. We have mountain spots that allow everyone to get amazing overlooking views.
In Naga City, a newest attraction enchants its guests with water flows that seem to dance in nature’s rhythm. Sayaw River in Lutac, Naga City is a respite for everyone who has been battling with the monotony of the work-from-home and community quarantine routines.
The place isn’t a famous river yet. Accordingly, it may be reached after a 10-minute walk from the nearest drop-off area. While the river is not very wide, its water is very tempting for a quick dip.
It is also filled with lovely formation of giant boulders. Don’t miss to strike a pose for your next Instagram upload since the surrounding vegetation makes a good backdrop for a nature-themed photo.
Feeling the vibe to groove with nature? Why not? The sound of the mini water cascades as they make a soft impact with the river’s surface is revitalizing. It is calming and therapeutic for the mind.
Naga City is primarily an industrial one, but it still has sites for tourists such as the Naga Boardwalk and Park which sits just across the shoreline. With Sayaw River slowly gaining popularity, it may help the city’s tourism industry once the place gets fully developed.
A reminder for everyone to make sure not to leave any trash behind to also give others a chance to enjoy this wonderful gift from nature.
