Camiguin

Pretty far from Cagayan de Oro.. Too many places to go to! Want to go back!

I love the place. I was able to tour the whole island with friends. Visited all the falls, white beach and Springs. And some Spanish ruins… I would love to go back

Great spot for a vacation. Very historic Island just like when you travel to Spain . There is a sunken cemetery, ruins of old churches, white beaches, and many others

Boracay is fine, probably the best kind of sand your feet will land on. But it is too commercialized, in fact, it’s like a city already with sand.

But Camiguin has kept its rustic and natural charm. You’ve got an active volcano, natural hot spring bath, a cold spring bath, sunken cemetery, the luscious fruit called “lanzones”, sleepy towns, a white sand bar where there are still colorful fishes around when you snorkel. It has a majestic waterfall. And keeping the Catholic faith alive, you climb a mountain with one “station of the Cross” each as a stopover. Life-size statues re-enacting Jesus Christ’s passion and death.

It’s not a party place. But it’s a worthwhile experience. Solace and old rural setting. It’s a rarity on the Philippine map!

I didn’t know my dad’s side of the fam so I went on a spontaneous trip there and looked for people with my last name. I stopped at a sari-sari store so I could ask around and realized that my last name was on the damn store…. the rest is history.. family history!
