Jack's Ridge - Overlooking Davao City


Jack's Ridge is notably a must go site when traveling to Davao City. The place not only gives visitors the best view of the city, it also provides some starter facts on Davao.

Due to the nature of its scenery, you can expect an uphill terrain going there. However, once you get to the area you would be greeted by some good selection of restaurants and cafes. 

This will be the first thing that you would see reach the place
What makes it different from the usual collection of culinary offerings, are the quirky yet definitely interesting sculptures that reflect Davaoeno culture.

Taklobo Shells: Silent witnesses to Davao's watery past

Durian Eaters Statue : Davao is synonymous
to the thorny fruit

Aside from the interesting works of art, you can also read some trivia markers about the city, its origins, festivals, people, etc.



But the best thing about the place and one of the main reasons why it is one of the most visited tourist spots in Davao would definitely be the view.

Evening Drinks: Iced coffee and Hot Tea
