Cagayan de Oro, Commercial hub in Northern Mindanao, Philippines
Cagayan de Oro extends along both banks of the Cagayan River near Macajalar Bay, with an elevation of 428 meters above sea level.
The settlement transformed from a Spanish mission station in the 17th century to an official city status in 1950, marking its evolution into a major urban center.
The annual Higalaay Festival brings together local products, culinary traditions, and community performances that showcase the heritage of Northern Mindanao residents.
The city maintains strong transportation connections through its international airport and position as the northern terminal of the trans-Mindanao Sayre Highway.
The Cagayan River provides opportunities for white-water rafting activities while supporting agricultural production through irrigation of surrounding farmlands.
