Ablayan Peak: An Enthralling And Windy Summit In Boljoon
Cebu, in spite of its rapid urbanization and burgeoning tourism, has plenty of surprises and hidden gems in store for the wide-eyed traveler. With a plethora of untouched islets and lush mountain ranges, there’s surely still a lot of beauty and charms to discover within the province. Lately, I, together with the sprightly Team Bang, have been scouring information to catch some of Cebu’s little-known treasures. And, one of our most recent discoveries is the windy and picturesque Ablayan Peak in Boljoon. Our first attempt at Ablayan Peak “Scenic”, “lush” and “breezy” – these were the words used by the lechon manok vendors in Boljoon, as they were describing…

Sumilon Island: An Affordable DIY Trip To Cebu’s Gorgeous Sandbar
Sumilon Island has been on my travel wish-list ever since wanderlust woke up a couple of years ago. With its clear azure waters and pristine white sands, Sumilon Island’s sandbar is by far a photogenic and mesmerizing tropical idyll that lures all types of travelers. But, the prices for the day tour (PHP 1,500 to 2,000 per person) from Bluewater Sumilon Island Resort were a bit steep for my taste.

Thankfully, I now have a bunch of enthusiastic travel…

Although it’s a bit controversial, I and the rest of Team Bang just can’t resist the opportunity to see the lovely heritage…

Club Fort Med: A Gorgeous And Relaxing Seaside Resort In Boljoon
Billing itself as the best beach getaway resort in South Cebu, Boljoon’s Club Fort Med was such a pleasant reward after a marvelous caving adventure in Argao. While seaside resorts aren’t my cup of tea, Club Fort Med still swept me off my feet with its laid-back tropical charm and inviting pools. Not to mention, it has cushy accommodations that gave me a relaxing good night’s sleep. I wasn’t really pumped up, when my girlfriend Rabbie, told me we were going to Club Fort Med, after our quick visit to the mystical cave in Argao. Even though they are lovely, great and relaxing, seaside resorts aren’t just my thing. I…
