  • Long Weekend @ Camotes Islands (Part 2)

    Well...this follow-up post took longer than I expected. I tend to procrastinate. I don't even care anymore, so I'm just gonna post the photos of the rest of the trip here. No more unnecessary prattles.

    First stop: Lake Danao 


    Also known as Lover's Lake. This guitar-shaped lake lies in one of the smaller islets of Camotes, Pacijan Island. You can charter a boat for a fee that could take on a scenic lake cruise. Make sure to stop by at one of the islets in the lake and just soak in the serenity of the place.



    Second stop: Timobo Cave 


    Timobo Cave's entrance open to a dimly lit winding staircase that would eventually take you to its crystal clear waters. You can take a refreshing dip at its natural pool several feet underground.



    Third stop: Esperanza Beach 

    If you're looking for less crowded places to beach bum, this gorgeous, unspoiled stretch of white sand is the perfect haven for you.


    Fourth stop: Bukilat Cave 

    Looking straight out of a LOTR movie (a brighter version of Gollum's hideout), Bukilat Cave in Tudela is a popular destination for locals and tourists alike.


    Fifth stop: Busay Falls 

    Also situated in Tudela, this falls is a popular place among the locals for a refreshing afternoon swim.

    The presence of one of the strongest typhoons that hit the Philippines (Yolanda) was still evident in the area when we visited, leaving a trail of fallen trees and signboards in its wake.

    Last stop: Santiago Beach 

    The most popular destination in the Camotes Islands. This beach has various accommodations to offer. From camping tents to B&Bs and resorts. Make sure not to miss these handcrafted products that would make great souvenirs!
