Offbeat Buhisan: Exploring The Untapped Beauty Of Cebu’s Remote Uplands
Offbeat and one-of-kind, Buhisan isn’t normally a place that comes into mind, when people think of travel destinations in Cebu.

In the eyes of a mainstream traveler, there’s isn’t a lot to do in Buhisan. As a matter of fact, some would even say that Buhisan is only known for its century-old historic dam – the Buhisan Dam.

47 Mountains In Cebu That Will Absolutely Take Your Breath Away
Last year, I’ve developed a lust and an insatiable craving for scaling scenic mountains in Cebu. Even since then, I’ve been on a series of hikes and adventures with my energetic and wonderfully weird friends. From my foggy Kandungaw Peak experience to my spine-tingling rock climbing adventure in Puting Bato, it’s been, so far, a rip-roaring stretch filled with pleasant memories, heart-pounding thrills and giggles. And while I never consider myself a bona fide mountaineer, I’ve unintentionally conquered over 20 mountains in Cebu in my first two years, as a hiking aficionado. Need to escape the monotony of everyday life in Cebu? Want to spice up a boring weekend? You…
