My Weekend Getaway: 10,000 Roses in Cordova

It was one sunny morning that I went to drive for my mom, it was nothing special on that day. AS we are just about to come home. I received a text message from my aunt on our whereabouts. There was an exchange of messages between my mom and my aunt. I thought it was a quick chat between the two when we arrived back at our house. A few moments later, we are setting ourselves to go for a ride going to Mountain View and we end up going to Cordova, Cebu to see the 10,000 Roses.

From afar, I thought of seeing such a forest-like flower farm, I was somehow disappointed that we all seemed don’t want to push thru in going inside the place. There was a 20.00 pesos entrance fee though. Cheap but somehow I did lose my appetite in wanting to go in. My expectation was different though, I have seen beautiful photos of it. Still, My auntie pushed thru since we were all there.

We all did come and checked the place for a few hours. It was almost 2:00 pm when we did arrive there. It was sunny and windy at the same time. The place was an open ground more than 1,000+ square meters in concrete cement nearby the shoreline.  As you get closer, you’ll see these artificial white flowers with turf grass beneath them that was about 3 feet in height.

As we begin to take photos, You’ll see the beautiful view that takes away your breath. The sunkissed went well with our trip. The clear crispy sky was such beautiful to look at as each minute passes by.  I enjoyed taking photos of the scenery as much as I do portraits. They have an area for the couples which I guess was for last Valentine. Aside from that, they do accept Pre-Nuptial Photoshoots amounting to 10,000pesos.

At some point, as I walked around and enjoy the view, I thought of 3 places in my mind. The Hongkong View, a sort of Miami Vibe and San Francisco as I looked across the other islands. Even from afar, you’ll see the development of a bridge that I think will be coming from Cebu to Cordova. Soon, the beauty of the other island will no longer be visible.

Once inside the place, you’ll just fall in love with the serenity that it gives. It was just another chill day that you want to spend time on yourself or being away in a crowded place which I suggest that you have to be there early but once when 4 o’clock in the afternoon hits, even it has beautiful scenery and even wanting to see the sunset. The people began flocking in and have become more alive.

They got a cafe where you can relax, eat and drink with friends and family and feel wanting to be alone without scratching off your pocket then this must be your place.

We had a fun day during our weekend, somethings unplanned things can be pretty amusing. We are planning to have another chill weekend in Cebu. As the Covid-19, goes on offshore vacations will be postponed. This must be one way of saying, Explore Cebu.
