Cebu is fast becoming one of the most visited tourist destinations in the Philippines. Here's a list of reasons as to why tourists seem to be drawn to this place.
Inambakan Falls is the main reason why this place has become a tourist hotspot. The waterfall is a 100 feet drop where the water collects in azure coloured pools. The colours are simply breathtaking, and the waters are surrounded by lush green plantations. It is a sight to behold. Having said that, the outstanding feature of this waterfall is its multi-levelled treks that take you to different waterfalls and pools. Besides, if you're looking for serviced apartments in Cebu, you can check out properties like Citadines Cebu City for a cosy stay.
You can easily reach the Osmena Peak via a motorbike from Alegria. This will take you only around 1 1/2 hours and about USD 10. Although the price is very much affordable, the journey, however, might be quite uncomfortable, if you choose this means of transport. Make sure to set out in the early hours of the morning in order to reach the summit before the sunrise. The panoramic views during the sunrise are something you have to witness at least once-in-your-lifetime. It is breathtakingly beautiful!
Another very popular activity here is Canyoneering right through the azure waters to reach the canyons and to the Kawasan Falls. This will be another highlight of your trip that you cannot forget. Thousands of travellers participate in this adventurous activity almost every day. If you are an adrenaline junkie, you know where to head out now!
From D'Allegre you can take a 15-minute ride on a bus to reach the Mainit Hot Springs. A quick hike through this jungle here will take you to these magnificent hot springs that are surrounded by a waterfall and lush green vegetation. The hot springs, true to its name, are quite steaming. You can relax and unwind in one of these hot water springs!
The Cebu island offers another adventure which is the Kabutongan Falls trek. Most people who have undertaken this trek describe it as being magical. This hiking trail follows along the beautiful blue waters of a stream through a canyon to the Kabutongan Waterfall. Do not miss out on the cave that is hidden behind this waterfall and on all the cliff jumps you can do from here.
Sumilon Island is a 15-minute boat ride away from Oslob. You will be charged an entrance fee of about 1 USD. The pristine beach and the turquoise waters are the best places in this region where you can relax in. The sand here is so white which is incredibly beautiful against the blue waters and the reefs.
Cebu is full of natural sceneries and you will never run out of places to visit. As such, a scenic tour or drive is a must in these parts. Drive towards the Kabutongan for one of the best scenic tours. The palm-lined roads and the backdrop of lush green forests is something that deserves to be uploaded on Instagram.
