    Tagaytay Hill In Toledo: One of Cebu’s Most Stunning Hidden Gems

    Need a break from the non-stop whirlwind and frenzy in Cebu city? I suggest that you pay a visit to Tagaytay Hill, or also known as Old Bucao, in Barangay General Climaco, Toledo City, Cebu.  As far as I’m concerned, Tagaytay Hill is a mesmerizing spot and truly one of Cebu’s best kept secrets.  Sure, it’s not as trendy and popular as O’Peak or Mount Naupa, but it is for me a must-see site for every travel junkie in Cebu. Trust me, I’ve been there, and it did take my breath away, literally and metaphorically. How did my experience in Tagaytay Hill go? Honestly, it’s one of my favorite travel…

    Malubog Lake And Malubog Falls: Exploring Toledo’s Wondrous Treasures

    From the gleaming 10,000 Roses in Cordova to TIEZA Botanical Garden, there have been quite a few scenic Instgrammable spots in Cebu that have been making the rounds on social media as of late. With their picturesque scenery and incredible floral displays, these spots have mesmerized and captured the hearts of almost everyone in Cebu. And while these spots are fairly popular and picturesque, I somehow have little interest in visiting and seeing them in person. Nowadays, I’ve been more inclined to see unsung spots like Malubog Lake and Malubog Falls than Cebu’s buzzing crowd magnets. Don’t get me wrong – I’m not saying that these sought-after places are not…

    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…

    Terrazas De Flores Botanical Garden: Cebu’s Breezy Floral Nirvana

    I always look forward to spending some quality time with my family every Sunday. From our traditional lunch get-togethers at Ayala to the road trips down south, Sundays with my folks just evoke a positive, blissful and easygoing feeling. But, lately, we’ve been pretty grounded with our getaways and excursions, thanks to our busy schedules.  That’s why I decided to surprise my wife (Mrs. Bisaya Traveler) and the rest of the family to a quick retreat to Terrazas De Flores Botanical Garden in Malubog, Cebu. Even though it was a quick escape to Cebu’s cool highlands, I must say our Terrazas De Flores visit was nothing short of pleasant. Trust…
