Francisco Dagohoy Shrine

Danao is the birthplace of the famous Boholano leader, Francisco Dagohoy. It was the place where he established his independent government. During the Japanese occupation it became a concentration camp for World War II prisoners of war. The town used to be a barrio of Talibon but was turned into a municipality by an Executive Order issued on March 16, 1961 by then Pres. Carlos P. Garcia. It was inaugurated as an independent municipality in July 9, 1961.

Danao is a remote inland municipality, with a lot of natural beauty, and thus an ideal spot for adventurous people. E.A.T. (Extreme Adventure Tours) Danao, an initiative of the municipality, has organized a number of spectacular attractions, including rafting, the suislide, a zip-line across a 480 meters wide and 200 meters deep valley, the plunge, where you can drop down and swing across this same valley, and various other attractions.
