Butuan ~ River Cruise

There is a more interesting way of touring Butuan’s important historical sites ~ taking the Agusan River Cruise. A motorized boat ride starting from the riverine port in New Asia will take you upstream to the riverside barangays of Bit-os and San Vicente. There you can see from the river the newest structural marvel of the city, the Butuan Cable-Styed Bridge or the Disodado Macapagal Bridge. Along the ride, you can also see the various sawmills and wood processing plants where the bulk of the local economy used to depend on. Downstream, there you may pass by Banza, Butuan’s old poblacion during early Spanish period. It is here you can see the ruins of an old cathedral that used to be the focal point of the old poblacion.
