 "San Salvador del Mundo Parish Church"
       The San Salvador del Mundo Church is the parish church of Caraga, Davao Oriental. The town was established in 1861 making it one of the oldest towns in the province of Davao Oriental. When the Jesuits took charge of the spiritual administration of the town in 1871 from the Augustinian Recollects, a stone and wooden church was built in 1877 to serve as mission station of Spanish Missionaries in propagating Christianity in the eastern side of Mindanao. When it was completed in 1884, the church was dedicated to San Salvador del Mundo (Christ, the Saviour of the World).

                   "Aliwagwag Falls" Aliwagwag Falls, said to be the highest falls of the Philippines, stuns along the green highway of Brgy. Aliwagwag in the silent town of Cateel, Davao Oriental. One hundred thirty cascades comprise the grand waterfalls totaling to 1,100 feet high. Aliwagwag Falls, labeled as stairway to the sky, graces the forested landscape so easily accessible to any kind of transportation. I purposely visited Davao Oriental to see Aliwagwag Falls. I was fortunate enough to have a friend, Orle from Mati, who treated me a road trip. So I knew there are lots in store for me. When I was entering Mati very early morning, awesome sunrise soothed my sleepless eyes. My tiresome night trip had started to be compensated. Upon arrival at 6:00 am, Orle drove me to my destination. Along the way, the beautiful scenery of the province continued wowing me.
