Ever wondered how Mindoro’s blue waters look from a bird’s eye view? At Parola Park, you can do just that with the longest island-to-island motorized zipline (P400/ride) ranging approximately of 5,500 feet, running over a 4-minute ride. As you coast down the vertical drop, don’t be scared to look down the sea. Some areas are so clear you could see the ocean floor. The park offers back and forth rides, so don’t worry about traveling back to the island. Visitors may also do rappelling and wall climbing activity. The park can be found at Brgy. Lumang Bayan, Sablayan, Occidental Mindoro. Read More: https://explora.ph/attraction/387/parola-park-zipline

Parola Park’s foremost attraction is a historic watchtower which allowed the natives to prey on Muslim vintas. Round the clock watchers and defenders stationed thereat signal or warn the people to hide while launching volleys of cannon fires to defend the town. Located in Lumang Bayan at Sablayan, it was erected in 1861. In 1896 it was equipped with bells to warn residents of impending raids. Later, a church was built which withstood the elements for ten brief years, but which is now in ruins. A cannon used to defend the town is all that stands at a promontory to remind generations of its past. Today, a lighthouse and old cannon could still be found there. The park offers the best sunset view in town. It can be reached in 3 hours from the San Jose airport by bus.  Read More: http://travel.yekram.com/?tag=parola-park
