Butuan ~ Kingdom by The River
In order to have a good grasp of what is Butuan City of Today is to have knowledge of its storied golden past.More than five hundred years ago, the old Butuan poblacion site used to be located at the mouth of the Agusan River delta. It was a thriving settlement that has both comanding control of trade along the upstream communities of the river and the neighboring settlements along Butuan Bay. However, its deltaic location made it prone to inundation by the converging tides of the bay and the mighty river. To escape the perennial deluge, a second Butuan settlement was then built furher upstream to what is now known as Banza. However, the old town did not escape nature as waters from the river perennially submerged the low lying parts of the old settlement.
More than a hundred years ago, the old Butuan settlement was finally built further higher upstream to what is now known as Agao. Here, the old town further grew and became the template to an expanding, growing and rapidly urbanizing city that is the Butuan of Today.

Butuan Sweet Life
What could be a better way of describing Butuan’s relaxing sweet life than its wide array of traditional food and delicacies. From exotic spicy kinilaw to this colorful display of desserts. Traditional delicacies here are mostly carbohydrate based and is usually eaten after a full meal or during meriendas… or maybe just anytime as long as that sweet tooth craves for more.Most of them are made from mashed root crops, mixed with gata (coconut milk) and latik (thick sugary syrup) topped by either grated cheese or coconut meat.

Butuan ~ Sites
One of the important part of ones travel itinerary when in Butuan should include a stop at the newly built Diosdado Macapagal Bridge or the Butuan Cable Stayed Bridge.Built using Japanese technology in 2007, it is now considered one of the structural marvels of the country today.
