Pasonanca Park
Pasonanca Park, Zamboanga’s “Little Baguio”, is a beautiful nature sight that boasts of relaxing greenery and picturesque sceneries.
Everywhere you look, there’s greenery brought by blooming flora and faunas and towering trees, and needless to say, the breeze here is cool and relaxing — just like in Baguio. Pasonanca Park is only 7 kilometres away from the city — one thing that makes the park a perfect location for a quick getaway from the hustle and bustle of the city.
