#seascapes Pitogo Cliff is one of the tourist spots in Siquijor Island, Philippines. This cliffside gets its name from the Pitogo trees that grow in the area. The rocks in the area are sharp and not only that the waves and the current are quite strong too so you have to be extra careful. In fact, the authorities put some warnings in the area to avoid any accidents. I wouldn't suggest this for kids. This is located in San Juan, Siquijor and the entrance fee costs 50php per person. #localguides #mytravelhacks #trip

Go there to have drinks listening to the music played live by Marvs from Boracay and his original compositions. Unfortunately service here hasn’t changed in 3 years and we need to stop giving the pandemic as an excuse now. At the end of the day the venue is in the F&B business and not giving out free drinks or food… I truly think no one cares in this place. We were greeted by “the kitchen cannot accommodate”. (It’s Saturday night, just hire more kitchen staff for crying out loud). After discussion and waiting for a while we were told we needed to order before a big table. It was the only good move of the night from service. Sisig was okay, Satay chicken had a good sauce, but the Kinilaw was prepared with smelly fishy fish. The staff didn’t ask us for food feedback although we left that dish practically untouched. We saw many people leave when they realized no food was available at 8-9pm. Does anyone care here? I think not. #urbanexplorer #gooutside #beachlife #

Paliton Beach, on the western side of Siquijor, a tiny island province in Central Visayas, is the most popular beach.

Paliton Beach's breathtaking sunset is a must-see!

There are numerous waterfalls located in the archipelagic landscape of the Philippines. But one may not be so familiar with Siquijor’s Cambugahay falls, which is one of the best waterfalls in the Visayas Region. Consider this as an introduction to a wonderful gift of nature. Cambugahay falls is a 3-tiered waterfall that sources its clear and warm water in natural springs. It flows down about three kilometers downstream and makes multiple swimming lagoons that discharge towards the Lazi Bay. So, the question is, where do you start? We recommend that you start your journey on the island for a coastal tour for only PHP 1,000 riding a tricycle. The tour will take you to various locations including the Cambugahay falls. #urbanexplorer #summervacation #summervacation#beachvacation#hikingtrails#hotelstay#urbanexplorer

The Island of Siquijor, an island province located in Central Visayas of the Philippines, is known as a coral island with eye-catching scenery, incredible sunsets, stunning waterfalls and white sandy beaches. The island was declared to be a marine reserve in 1978. There are several fish sanctuaries allowing snorkeling. The many waterfalls and cliff jumping into the sea are great for adventurous visitors. Numerous dive operators cater to some of the best dive sites in the Philippines. Being known as the “Island of Fire”, the Island of Siquijor gives off a glow coming from the fireflies that swarm around the island’s molave trees. The island holds an ambiance that lures in nature lovers and adventurers for its numerous caves, springs and lakes, and archaic churches. The pristine environment and the people’s warm hospitality make the whole island a perfect place for a getaway. Many come to visit local healers who are known to concoct ‘so-called medicines’ to aid the body to heal.” We stayed in Glamping Siquijor. Indeed a glamorous way to camp. we picked the tent facing the beach and it was really nice just to stay outside and stare blankly at the sea and sky. Loved it especially during sunset. Just take note though that comfort rooms are common. They don’t have a restaurant but you can cook there. Staff were also very nice and helpful. #maydaytrip #urbanexplorer #uniquelodging

Siquijor is known throughout the country for its unique healing arts. Its centuries old tradition of concocting local potions is still being practiced and used as alternative medicine. Every year, traditional healers would gather in the island to “renew” their connection with nature and put together a fresh brew of local potion. During the Spanish time, the island was called Isla de Fuegos or Island of Fire. The reason for this is that Spaniards who were exploring the Visayas area at that time noticed that the island is covered with twinkling lights during night time. But in reality, these were just fireflies covering the molave trees which are said to be their home. The island is a serene place ideal for those who want to get-away from the hustle and bustle of city living. It is a haven for hikers, bikers and nature lovers. White sandy beaches cover the 102 kilometers of shoreline surrounding the island while mangroves and marine sanctuaries dot the island, providing a safe haven for its pristine marine life. #maydaytrip #urbanexplorer #uniquelodging#eventcelebration

Cambugahay Falls is one of my most favorite places in Siquijor. It is one of the many precious waterfalls in the Island wherein a large number of tourist enjoys its fascinating atmosphere. Even locals within the island, enjoy spending their time in the mystical waterfall together with their family and friends. Cambugahay Falls can be reached via 135 steps going down. Cambugahay Falls is a 3-tiered waterfall. with crisp and clean warm water originating from natural springs. Water from the Cambugahay Falls flows down about three kilometers downstream making numerous wonderful swimming lagoons before it discharges into the Lazi Bay. At the first level, you will see one feature of the place which was an improvised swing. The locals called it the “Tarzan swing” and you could use it for free. In that location, you will find some locals assisting people to do the swing, hence it won’t actually hurt if you give a few bucks to these guys for their endeavor. It was very enticing to swim, but then again, I came unprepared. The lowest tier of Cambugahay Falls is where most tourists swim. It’s the biggest and probably the deepest as well. Cambugahay falls don’t have a spectacular drop, but it is wide, giving it a different charm. The water was so clear and the pools were deep – excellent for swimming. #urbanexplorer #maydaytrip

On the sixth day, we found the little secrets of the Philippines, and many places where even the Raiders could not find it, it was so beautiful! ! ! . This is a waterfall Cambugahay Falls on Siquijor Island. The name is super hard to read, but the sights are absolutely good value! ! ! It is recommended that Siquijor must go to the destination, the super wild waterfall in the ins, a lot of photographers to shoot! ! ! / Milk Lake The biggest pool in the whole waterfall is a blue-white milk lake.

Located in Siji Hall, the magical island of the Philippines, Coco Grove Beach Resort has its own private beach. There are three swimming pools inside, one of which is a spa pool with a jacuzzi. There are also three restaurants, and you can have dinner on the beachfront while watching the band performance while watching the sunset.

The first sentence when introducing Siquijor in Lonely Planet is: "For most Filipinos, Siquijor is like a mysterious unknown magic world." It is also true that I am a seasick person who is willing to come to this wild island. There are many beaches on the island, few people, and it takes an hour or two to ride a circle, but every time you can sit on the whole sea, you feel quite happy. The resort I stayed in was staying on the beach. Because of the recent good weather, I can see beautiful sunsets every day, dance in the afterglow of the sunset, even if I can't dance, it is also a dancer.

Siquijor is an independent island located 30 km southeast of Negros, on the south side of Cebu City and Bohol Island, close to Dumaguete. It is the third smallest island in the Philippines. The island has narrow floodplains and deltas. Most of them are mountainous areas formed by coral reefs and the coast is relatively flat. There are rich and crystal clear waters, delicate white sands, rich and varied attractions, friendly residents, primitive and quiet natural environment, and suitable size for round-the-island tours. This sunset hotel in the town, with a beautiful beach, is a beautiful sunset, with a separate pool. This is not like living in a small island such as Maday. It faces the sea and the summer is very tired, and it will not be like the big island, such as Phuket. The Siji Hall can be beautiful everywhere. Let everyone enjoy every moment here.

When you come to Siquijor Island, you are not only attracted by the blue sky but also many churches, among which the Lahu Church is famous. It was built from coral stone and logs, and Augustine Priest-Institute Isidro Labra began building churches in 1857 and was completed around 1884. This is an ancient church with a history of more than 100 years. The Lahu church looks a bit rudimentary and worn and seems to give a mysterious feeling. On both sides of the road between Lahu Church and Lahu Monastery, there are many tall and bizarre big banyan trees. Their branches and leaves are connected with greenery. It is like a large green umbrella for the people who pass through. Living in the hot sun has created a cool world that is also pleasing to the eye. Faced with the walls of these coral stones, we can't help but take pictures here.
