COMMUNAL RANCH BUKIDNON: Best Things To Do and How To Get There
The Communal Ranch Bukidnon is like stepping into a ranch wonderland! Trust me, it’s like standing in the middle of nature’s masterpiece. The mountain ridges – Paminahawa, Kapayawan, Abiogan, Ginawahan, Kaanibungan – all in one stunning panorama.
They call it the “Home of the Country’s Finest Cowboys,” it’s the only Local Government in the Philippines rocking a full ranch.

Once you arrive at the ranch, the possibilities are endless! Grab your camera because Communal Ranch is a photo paradise. Your social media would love it!
Meadows, farm animals, the pond, and oh horseback riding – it’s a visual feast! The breathtaking view of the nature is what excites me to visit the Communal Ranch. They say it’s like a little New Zealand, but I would say from my experience, that it’s like Batanes.
Here are a few things that you can do to maximize your visit in the Communal Ranch Bukidnon.
1. Horseback Riding
For just ₱250.00, you get a whole hour of riding like a ranch pro. Yee-haw! It’s a must-try activity, trotting through the ranch and wind in your hair. It’s the ultimate cowgirl/boy moment. The vibe is lakas maka haciendera.
Personally, I haven’t tried it because I didn’t feel like it at that time. But now as I’m writing this, I regret not doing the horseback riding. Don’t be like me, make sure you do it. At least for the reels and gram. 😉
2. The Pond
There’s honestly nothing much you can do at the pond of the Communal Ranch Bukidnon other than taking a leisurely stroll around, breathe in the fresh air, and let the vibes of the nature sink in. For me, it’s just a perfect spot to unwind and be in the moment.
But there’s really something breathtaking about the pond in photos with the stunning mountain ridges in the background. I love the rawness of it!

My Honest Thoughts
Is Communal Ranch in Bukidnon worth visiting for? If you’re going to Bukidnon just for the Communal Ranch, it’s not that worth it unless you’re a person who find tranquility in just staring a nature’s view.
Sure, the ranch is gorgeous! It’s probably one of the most beautiful views I’ve ever seen in the Philippines. But for me, it’s a one-time kind of destination.
It’s like a mini Batanes with all the farm animals and the view of the mountain ridges, plus the horseback riding experience. It’s a nature therapy at its finest.
After visiting it for the first time, I’m probably not gonna visit it again soon. I mean, there’s nothing much you can do there aside from taking a lot of photos and videos. My adventurous self couldn’t be satisfied of just doing that!
So if you’re an adventure-seeker like me, make sure to visit other destinations in the province of Bukidnon, like Dahilayan Forest Park, Abbey of Transfiguration, Lover’s Lane, Kaamulan Grounds, and Pine Ridge.
