Eden Nature Park

This mountain resort 3,000 ft above the sea level is 95 % man made, but does not seem artificial. It's a perfect place to go in quest for the perfect state of relaxation. Exotic flowers, birds and the cycling zipline guarantee the good balance of adventure and pleasant sights. At the end of the day it is a bliss to lay back in a hammock and smell the fresh mountain air.

You can eat it with cakes and ice creams and mix with fresh mango, marang, lanzones, pomelos, bananas... Hop on a jeepney and let it take you to the promised land of vitamin - meaning any fruit stand market in the city.
