CAMIGUIN Escapade

06.23.06 - 06.24.06

CAMIGUIN is a pear-shaped island which offers a good deal of satisfaction to nature lovers. To reach this captivating island, the ff route can be taken: 1) 1 hour and 25 minute-plane trip from manila to cagayan de oro, 2) 2 hours of bus ride to balingoan sea port, and 3) an hour ferry ride to benoni port. This is actually my third time to visit camiguin but this island never ceases to amaze me.

Sunken Cemetery


Old Catarman Church ruins


Walkway to the Old Volcano
Seven volcanoes can be found within the island, the most popular of which is Mt. Hibok-hibok. The old volcano which erupted in 1871 had scarred the beauty of the island that brought Sunken Cemetery and Old Ctarman Church ruins, but has now become tourist spots.

Tanguines Lagoon

Katibawasan Falls




This falls measures 250 ft high which made it difficult for us to capture a full-length image.

Sto. Niño Cold Spring
















White Island










The White Island is definitely the best spot we've seen in Camiguin. This C-shaped island gave us the feeling of being in a paradise.
