Davao : Philippine Eagle Center

Philippine Eagle Center is located at Malagos, Baguio District, Davao City.  It can be reached via private or public transportation.  It is an hour drive from the city center or  you can take a bus bound to Calinan.  It departs every 15 minutes from the Annil Terminal at the corner of  Elpidio Quirino Avenue and San Pedro Extension. There are tryks and pedicabs at Calinan bound to Philippine Eagle Center.

We came from Samal Island on that day.  Our route was Peñaplata-San Pedro, bus fare Php50, San Pedro-Bangkerohan, jeepney fare Php8.  At Bangkerohan, there are vans going to Calinan, fare Php40, and at Calinan we flagged a tryk at Php140 for the 6 of us... Grabe! ang layo! Gusto ko lang talaga marating ang Philippine Eagle Center ulit after 6 years.  Our fellow tourists rented a van in touring Davao City, for more information about vehicle rentals, click here.  Vehicle rentals are quite pricey in Davao =(
