Experiencing Maitum

When the opportunity for me to visit Maitum again came through the Sox Bloggers SEX tour (excuse me but that means Soccsksargen Experience Tour :). I just had to tag along and experience Maitum for a second time. Upon arriving at the Maitum municipal hall, pictures of last year's festival greeted us, i was so proud to see some pictures by Mr. OSG along with pictures from other photo hobbyists displayed in panels in the lobby.

Upstairs, they have a mini archaeological and ethnographic exhibit, which just proves the richness of Maitum's past and culture.

The dioramas of the burial caves was exquisitely done giving tourists like us a proper perspective of how the caves really look like from both the outside and the inside. 

Maitum is 127 kms from Gen. Santos City, there are air-conditioned vans plying trips here for a one way fare of P140. If you want to try water tubing, you can ride a motorcycle (habal-habal) at P25/person from the national highway in barangay Pangi or by tricycle at P100 one way trip from Poblacion. 

You can also get in touch with the ff. people for group tours or any information on Maitum and I'm sure they will happily oblige to assist you in your trip there:
