Didipio

Explore the geological formations in the caves of Capisaan – the fifth longest cave system in the Philippines - enjoy the cool waters of the many waterfalls in Kasibu, or pick citrus fruits and other agricultural products. Or partake in a multi-cultural experience with the multitude of indigenous peoples living in the area. Or all of these, in just a short drive away from OceanaGold Corporation’s Didipio Operation.

Surrounded by the mountains of the Mamparang Range, the Didipio Operation lies in the Didipio Valley around 700 meters above sea level. It enjoys a cool climate all year-round, with an average of 226 days of rain annually. The wettest months are November and December, with April as the driest.

It is approximately 270 kilometers north-northwest of Manila, the Philippines’ capital, in Barangay Didipio in the municipality of Kasibu, the province of Nueva Vizcaya. It is in the southern portion of Cagayan Valley in the north-eastern part of the island of Luzon.

Just outside the camp gates, one can find the vibrant community of Didipio. Most economic activities happen in the Boulevard, the community’s main economic artery. There are many shops there where most necessities and other things can be bought. However, one needs to be mindful of the time, as most shops close at around 8pm, giving time for residents to rest and be ready for the next day’s activities.

The nearest major economic center is Santiago City, in the province of Isabela, which is around two hours away from the site.
