Sunken Cemetery, Catarman, Camiguin

Sunken Cemetery, Catarman, Camiguin
Sunken Cemetery is a historical landmark and the top tourist spots in Camiguin. Before, it was a resting place and today, it is a tourist attraction that gives money to the government and jobs to the locals. This spot has a huge cross perched into the water. Tourists can cross and step on the base of the cross using boats, of course NOT for free. Souvenir shops and stores are available by the entrance.

Sto. Niño Cold Spring, Camiguin

Sto. Niño Cold Spring, Camiguin
Sto. Nino Cold Spring is one of Camiguin’s top tourist destinations. By its name, you can easily expect for fresh and cold spring water. I had no plans to get wet, especially with the temperature of the water, it was really a NO NO. Because of its super dupper clear water, I dipped into the water and experienced how great this cold spring is. I was also stunned by the bottom of the pool, there are no silts because it is made of concrete.

Bura Soda Water Park, Camiguin

Bura Soda Water Park, Camiguin
Bura Soda Water Park in Camiguin has a swimming pool with crystal-clear water. I know you're wondering why they call it Soda, it's because the water coming out from this spring tastes like a soda and it is safe to drink. Like Sto. Nino Cold Spring, this natural pool also has cool, refreshing and crystal clear water (photos below are proof).

Guiob Church Ruins, Camiguin

Guiob Church Ruins
Another tourist destination in Camiguin is the Old Church Ruins (photo above). This church was damaged by the volcanic eruption that happened centuries ago, damaging the other structures on the island. The ruin is composed of meter-wide walls and huge columns. These walls and columns are made of coral stones and are now covered with mosses and plants.

Ardent Hot Spring Resort, Camiguin

Ardent Hot Spring Resort
Ardent Hot Spring Resort was our last destination in Mambajao, Camiguin. Situated at the base of Mt. Hibok Hibok, it has a wide land area composed of trees, plants, cottages, and other structures. Tourists usually make this hot spring their last destination to soothe their tired muscles and it is really true. Spent an hour here and had a relaxing feeling while my body was submerged in the warm water.

Top 7 Camiguin Tourist Spots + Travel Guide

Camiguin Tourist Spots
Every time I hear Camiguin, I usually think of the best lanzones in the Philippines and the underwater cemetery, but during our visit, we found that the province has a lot of world-class tourist spots and destinations. Backpacking is not a big problem here because at the port, multi-cab with a driver, can be chartered for the whole day tour (that’s what we did).

Pabua's Cottages, Camiguin

Pabua's Cottages, Camiguin
We stayed at Pabua’s Cottages for 1,500 pesos overnight. The room is wide, with its own clean rest and shower room, TV with cable, terrace, and three queen-sized beds. Since we were on a tight budget, we went to the market and bought our supplies. Cooked, served with happiness and then rested. You can contact them at 09064152557 or 09173210449.

Before the Human Drone Got Famous.

Photo above: Britania Island, San Agustin, Surigao del Sur. This generation, technology evolution is really fast, especially with cameras. I can still remember the classic words like Fujifilm, AGFA as endorsed by Aga Mulach, analog/film camera, rewind, pa-develop, pa re-copy, wag buksan baka ma-expose and many others. It was in 2002 when I was able to use and capture a picture using my friend's digital camera. After fifteen years, here were are with the touch screen technology, hundred Millimeter lenses, filters, image stabilizers, underwater capabilities, more memory, and of course the latest which is the flying capabilities.

BACKPACKING in Surigao del Sur, Agusan del Norte, and Camiguin

Our original plan is to hike Mt. Dulang-dulang and Mt. Kitanglad, but because of the question: “gusto nyo ba?” it was changed to backpacking in Northern Mindanao. It happened for a very very short time. So from Malaybalay, Bukidnon, we rode on a bus with Cagayan signboard and alighted at Agora Terminal. At the terminal, we rode in a bus with Butuan signboard and alighted at Butuan Terminal. Then, another bus ride to Mangahoy, Bislig, Surigao del Sur. Here are some of the Mindanao’s finest, from days 1 to 5.
