Pineapple Plantation & Del Monte Camp Phillips

year-round; tours Mon–Sat

Del Monte's Bukidnon operation at Manolo Fortich is one of Southeast Asia's largest pineapple plantations — 12,000 hectares of rows at 800m elevation where the air is genuinely cool. Camp Phillips, the former American colonial estate, still operates with century-old acacia trees and a guesthouse. Tip: highland fog rolls in hard after 2pm; morning tours from Cagayan de Oro (1.5h) let you see the rows in clear light. The tinned pineapple you've eaten your whole life may have come from here.
