Cambugahay Falls is one of the attractions in Siquijor Island. The falls is located approximately 2km north of the town of Lazi, along with the Siquijor Circumferential Road. Cambugahay Falls is like an enchanted waterfall due to its features. It consists of a multi-tiered waterfall with clean waters coming from natural springs and watersheds from the forest. These waters run-off and snake through about few kilometers downstream forming beautiful lagoons and rapids. Cambugahay Falls is one of the many precious waterfalls in the island with an enthralling scenery and serene atmosphere. Tourists usually flock to this waterfall when visiting Siquijor due to its magnificent tiers and crisp and clean waters. Even the locals still enjoy spending their time in this mystical attraction.

6 Reasons why Mount Naupa is for beginners
It has been my 3rd time climbing Mount Naupa in the city of Naga Cebu. My first time was a night trek with two of my good friends Analyn and Eddu. The second time was with the club where I am the President. It was my first month of my leadership bringing around 40 trekkers with me last January this year. This time, we planned to just have a camp out in Mount Naupa as our year-end climb for the club. That is because the month of December would be an outreach program and the club might just choose a venue that doesn’t involve trekking at all. Last November 19-20, around 40 campers visited the Mount Naupa again, almost the same number
Terrazas de Flores Botanical Garden: Busay’s Romantic Hideaway
Busay has been known for tourist spots like Mountain View Nature’s Park, Temple of Leah, Chateu de Busay, Tops Skyline Garden, Rancho Cancio, Serenity Farm, etc. Being one of the frequented place in the highlands of Cebu, Busay has a lot to offer aside from the mentioned already. City view is really stunning at night at Tops Skyline Garden and a special dinner date with family, friends or loved ones can be possible at Lantaw Restaurant near Mountain View Nature’s Park. With that said, who would have thought that all these days, there is a botanical garden that lies hidden on the sloping hills of Busay? It is the Terrazas de Flores Botanical Garden that is located in Barangay Malubog, Busay,
Mount Labalasan (Osmeña Peak): Cebu’s Highest Point
After our Mount Takliad trek and camping, we continued our jaunt for another fun-filled camp to Cebu’s highest mountain - the Mount Labalasan or commonly known as Osmeña Peak. It was my nth time visit to Osmeña Peak. Despite of the fact that I visited Osmeña Peak multiple times already, I would never grow tired or lost my interest to go back in this wonderful place. Because in trekking, I really do believe that no matter how many times you have been into the same mountain, you will never get to have the same experience and will never trek the same trail twice. The trail will always change and the experience will always be unique. I would be like a broken
Trail Tweaks: How to Trek Like a Pro?
I love the outdoors. I love trekking and traveling to places. The fresh air, the rejuvenating feeling, the great workout and the amazing sights that goes with it. I love to go outdoors to have a good balance between the corporate and personal life. Adventure travels which includes communing with nature is definitely a must for me once in a while.

The fulfillment of spending time trekking with the great outdoors is unfathomable. I am not a pro hiker/trekker, but I’ve learned a couple of things along the way and I’m happy to share it with you. As a hiker, there’s
Mount Takliad: The Unseen Grandiose Mountain in Argao
Argao as considered one of the best places in the Southeastern part of Cebu has a lot to offer aside from its rich heritage and culture. From the wide array of tourism offerings like caves, beaches, springs, waterfalls and the infamous Argao’s Torta and Bahalina, it has a lot more to offer to adrenaline junkies too. For many, Argao has been underrated in terms of Tourist Attractions. But considering all the beauties of nature that Argao can offer is just mind blowing. It is in Argao that you can find a lot of interesting places like “mini rice terraces’ in Butong, Argao, and the Coal Mountain Resort which offers an all-in-one adventure place. To top it all, Argao has at least
Twin Crater Lake Balinsasayao & Danao: An intimate hideaway
“I felt like lying down by the side of the trail and remembering it all. The woods do that to you, they always look familiar, long lost, like the face of a long-dead relative, like an old dream, like a piece of forgotten song drifting across the water, most of all like golden eternities of past childhood or past manhood and all the living and the dying and the heartbreak that went on a million years ago and the clouds as they pass overhead seem to testify (by their own lonesome familiarity) to this feeling.” —Jack Kerouac, The Dharma Bums Why do people love nature? Why do we love to commune with mother earth? People would tend to answer that question with “I
