Feature:

An otherworldly experience at Dumarao’s Hanging Foot Bridge

By Pepin

Capture some of the most breathtaking views of Dumarao, Capiz as you walk the Hanging Foot Bridge on a warm summer day. You’ll definitely take pleasure from the things you see around you, such as the clear water of the Badbaran River, the green shrub borders, and the blue skies.

Fast facts:

This infrastructure is a community project of Barangay Janguslob that was constructed to replace the old bamboo raft. Before, local residents had a hard time crossing the width of the river because of the unsteady and risky access. It was even in the news several years ago that one of the community leaders lost his life due to a flimsy raft. But now, because of the new bridge, they do not have to fear anything as they pass above the daunting height.

It also links other communities to the center of the town. People from far-flung areas need not waste more time trekking a treacherous trail, because as they enter the town, they are welcomed by an unchallenging access.

A tourist destination:

The bridge is also considered as a landmark of the town that gives tourists a spot to view nature in one of its best angles. You can take pleasure from the clusters of lily pods floating on the water and huge bamboo trees that line both sides of the river. If you want to cool your mind, you can enjoy bird watching with your friends on a lazy afternoon.
