Cebu City
The Queen City of the South. The most travelled place in the Philippines. Travelers often visit Cebu because there are lots of activities to do here.  Like visiting Old structured Churches/Shrines. Many religious group and believers flock here. One of the most popular destination in South Cebu located in Sibonga is Simala Lindogon Church. The Architectural design of Simala Church draws attention to local & foreign tourists. The impressive unique design is very pleasing in the eyes. This captivating European style (Castle) Shrine can only be found in Sibonga Cebu.

For Mountain lovers, Osmena Peak is a must visit. Located in Mantalongon, Dalaguete this mountain is one of the easiest hike. The slope is not too steep, so every tourist can enjoy this hiking activity and any type of outdoor clothes is not a problem. Osmeña Peak, is said to be the highest peak in the Island of Cebu and standing at 1,072 meters above sea level (masl). Getting there will amaze you, the extremely attractive view of green hills and rock formations is so enchanting. The scenic panoramic view of the mountain is like of Bohol’s Chocolate Hills. The weather is as cool as in the highlands of Baguio/Mountain Province.

Or if you want to see an astounding marine life, include Island hopping in Pescador Island on your list, you will surely enjoy to swim and see those beautiful protected corals & marine species.

Another simple activity is a walk on the beach. Feeling the fresh air and hearing the sound of waves relieves us from stress. This is the best way to discharge and recharge.

Siquijor Island of Fire
Dont miss Siquijor's most famous Rope Swing or Tarzan jump in Cambugahay waterfalls. Many Foreign & locals enjoy this activity.

Add more fun to your day by cliff diving in Salagdoong Beach. There's so much fun thrill and excitement at the edge of the cliff. Some are afraid to jump, some are encouraged by the crowd, others are challenging themselves to face their fears. Those who tried to jump are coming back to do it again. I am having fun just watching these group of people enjoying the cliff dive.
Entrance P25 per head
