    PILAR, Bataan- A tree-hopping adventure will soon open adjacent to the breath-taking Dunsulan Falls below historic Mount Samat in this tourist-oriented town, the municipal mayor announced Monday.

    Mayor Alice Pizarro said they have identified six trees near the falls that will serve as six legs where visitors will enjoy a different fun adventure. Among the attractions to be featured are hanging stairs upward, Elvis dangle, monkey bridge, surfboard zipline, king swing and balance swing.

    The mayor said environmentalists need not worry. “Environment-friendly ito at may safety measures upang hindi masaktan ang mga punong-kahoy,” Pizarro said.

    The project will be funded for P2.7 million and to be operated by the municipality of Pilar. She said that the investment will be easily recovered as what happened with the 540-meter zipline the local government unit put up.

    “In just eight months, the amount of P1.8 million that the LGU invested in operating the zipline was recovered,” Pizarro said. The zipline starts at an upper portion of Mt. Samat, passing through ricefields and beautiful sceneries and ends along rows of trees near the Dunsulan Falls.

    At the route to the falls, the huge war memorial cross on top of the hallowed mountain can be seen as if swaying with the clouds. The mayor who is vice-chairman of the Bataan Tourism Council wants projects focused in agriculture and tourism as priority in her town.
