    Biga Pit: A Visit To Lutopan’s Controversial And Gorgeous Man-made Lake

    A tour around the mesmerizing Capilla Santa Ana Museum was a great way to cap off a year full of life, colors and adventures. From elaborate Renaissance carvings to a lush and eye-catching maze garden, Capilla Santa Ana indeed gave us a plethora of striking sights and snaps. But, we didn’t travel all the way to the city of Toledo, just to take a short visit around this sweet treasure trove. Just like any of Team Bang’s escapades, we did have a side trip in mind to wrap up our Toledo city adventure. And this time, it was the sprawling and wonderfully weird Biga Pit in Lutopan. Our quick Biga…

    Mount Kapayas: An Adventurous Climb To One Of Cebu’s Highest Peaks

    Traveling isn’t always filled with rainbows and butterflies. From transportation pains to booking issues, there are a lot of unforeseen and inevitable setbacks along way, every time we hit the road. Even in local destinations and nearby trails like Mount Kapayas, we, as travelers, go through a ton of hurdles and rough situations.  But at the end of the day, these hurdles foster personal growth as well as make every moment in our trip even more worthwhile.My recent hike with Team Bang to Mount Kapayas also had a share of misfortunes and not-so bright moments.

    Kandungaw Peak And Dalas-ag Peak: The Second Time Around

    My first hiking trip to Kandungaw (Candongao) Peak was truly a fascinating adventure that I’ll remember for years to come.   Not only did it spark my appetite for hiking, but it also gave me a glimpse of the untouched and pristine natural beauty of Cebu’s highlands. What’s more, my first Kandungaw trek introduced me to a bunch of new friends, who ultimately became my travel buddies. Yet, for all the fun and upsides of our first Kandungaw Peak adventure, I still felt there was something missing. With thick fogs literally covering the mountains and hills, we barely saw anything below and the horizon, as we were standing on the summit.…

    Mount Kan-irag: One Of The Most Scenic Lookouts In Cebu

    Exploring the scenic Mount Kan-irag was an absolute treat, and the icing of the cake to our most recent weekend adventure. Although we took the easier trail from Ayala Heights, it was still a lovely bonus, capping off a breathtaking and heart-pumping trek in Mount Babag. With its awe-inspiring panoramic views and fresh mountain breeze, Mount Kan-irag was for me one of the highlights of our awesome barkada trip! So, how did we get there? After bidding farewell to Marky and the rest of the club in Chalet Hills, we took a habal-habal ride by pairs to Ayala Heights.  Afterwards, we walked and talked for a few minutes within the…
