Philippines is blessed
with great beautiful islands with unchanging old charm and attraction. If you are planning for a travel vacation or
for a holiday destination, don’t hesitate to visit this country. When you are in the place, you will get
fascinated by the perfect beaches, magnificent volcanoes and mountains, great
events and festivals, and hospitable people.
The island that features all of these is Camiguin.
Camiguin is Northern
Mindanao’s tourism capital. While it
is the 2nd smallest province in the Philippines, Camiguin boasts
about its huge tourist destinations.
Tourists from different countries can select from a variety of beautiful
spots from hot springs, majestic volcanoes, white beaches, waterfalls, to
amazing rock formations and coral reefs.
From the place of
Cagayan de Oro, the island of Camiguin can be touched through a small plane or
boat. The area is typically for an
economy of agriculture. The Camiguingon
people depend highly on fishing and farming as their means of livelihood. Tourist visitors are always received with
friendly smiles showing the visitors the spirit of cosiness and
relaxation.
Here is the guide for
travel to some of the world’s great attractions found only in Camiguin, known
for its “born of fire” island.
Mount Hibok-Hibok
This mountain is a
very popular natural attraction. It is a
volcano, the only active one out of the 7 volcanoes in this island. Mount Hinok-Hibok measures 1,553 meters in
height. For the local and international hikers, this mountain is very famous
for them. Scaling the peak part is quiet
difficult. For mountaineers, they have
first to be challenged with boulders and rocks before getting rewarded—a
magnificent spectacular view of the whole island and Bohol.
White Island
This is another place
mostly visited by foreign visitors. The
white sandbar, popularly known as the Medan Island, gives a perfect view of
Mount Vulcan and Mount Hibok-Hibok.
White Island makes the best site for snorkelling, swimming, collecting
seashells, and sunbathing. Vacation
rentals and motor-powered boats from the close resorts take the visitors to
this naturally beautiful place.
The Katibawasan Falls
Never leave Camiguin
without dipping into its waters that are crystal clear in Katibawasan
Falls. This attractive nature treasure
has the height of 250 ft. high. The green environment and cool water always
come as a cooling relief during humid and hot months. Ground orchids as well as giant ferns serve
as additional visual attractions to travelling visitors.
Sunken Cemetery
Many people can
consider Sunken Cemetery as another tourist spot. To the local people and many travellers, this
is a landmark which is very alluring and astonishing. This cemetery lying twenty feet below water
can be used in sightseeing through scuba diving and snorkelling. The huge cross is the marker of the location
for those remains of the tsunami that engulfed the whole community following
the volcanic tremor in 1871.
The Lanzonez Festival
When it comes to fruit, Camiguin has the natural attraction to guests
when they observe their annual Lanzonez Festival. This occasion is celebrated on the third week
of the month of October celebrating a fruitful harvest of lanzonez—one of the
tropical fruits and the major source of people’s livelihood. This festival is celebrated with street
dancing and colourful parade.
