Cambugahay Falls in Siquijor | My Favorite Spot & Attraction

After visiting the impressive Church of Lazi & Old Convent. We proceed to Cambugahay Falls which is one of my favorite spot in the province. From the parking area, I pay for the entrance fee of Php 30.00 per head at the roadside some locals selling cold drinks & foods. There are 135 steps without a guardrail  down to this fast flowing of water in the main area. It is nice to swim and great spot for photography. Also, there are small pools of water where one can set and have a spa type affect as the water rushes pass you. It's so enchanting and just marvel the beauty of the falls which has 3 levels and really fantastic sight. The surroundings are very green and water is plunging down in few stages of the falls. 

The only thing that they should install is a safe handle going down & up for senior citizens. Dont miss it when traveling the province of Siquijor because it is really beautiful and you will forget your stress.

St Isidore Church or Lazi Church in Siquijor

This church is a tentative list for the UNESCO World Heritage Site and worth visiting if you're looking for the old churches in our country. There are tall acacia trees shade the street in front of the church. It was cool inside although the temperature outside was pleasant and I saw that has wooden flooring using hardwood and make sure you do the island tour visiting old heritage site or local sighting including their fascinating church on the list of places you visit. I also like the pinkish facade of the church. I took the whole photos image inside where I'm in the second floor of the church. Also the church was built in 1857 and considered as a historical symbols. The walls were originally made of sea corals and put together by egg white shells and this church is very interesting place when visiting the island of Siquijor. 


Siquijor Province | Old Lazi Convent

This is the oldest convent in the country which is turned into a museum and school. You'll pass by this structure on your way to the Cambugahay Falls and infront of St Isidore Church which one of the tourist attractions in the town of Lazi. The structure was maintained and stand still after how many years had passed. I feels like I'm going back to history and the interior which are made of wood is great for photos. I just took some photos before heading to Cambugahay Falls. As per habal-habal driver, this place is said to be the largest convent in the Asian Region and the construction of this building was completed in 1891. If that's not really you thing or you're not interested to explore the whole area, you might go right across another old church of Lazi and that is also worth a visit.

Siquijor | Century Old Balete Tree & Fish Spa

This is the 400-year old balete tree at the town of Lazi. I was amazed with the huge tree's roots at least to just how ancient the tree is and at the foot of the tree is a pool filled with small fish which ideal for fish spa in a while. Some local says that you can go swimming if one want but you don't be noisy in the area and just be careful as the pool steps can be a slippery. Nevertheless the trees still looked creepy to me. To the local resident in the area, it was a good area to do their laundry just keep an eye out for the fish swimming in the pool. 

Also this place is a gem in the Island of Siquijor, you can relax and enjoy every minute of the time. There is no fee but only a donation box which I think is fair enough and they have to maintain this nature creation it in some way or another. 


A Rainy Day at Capilay Cold Spring | San Juan, Siquijor

It was rainy morning when we arrived at the town plaza of San Juan. I immediately take photo before the rain pour down. The spring is consists pf pools with three chambers, the first chamber is the cold spring area where some locals get water to drink , the second chamber is ideal for swimming of locals and the third chamber is the laundry area or the river which found by the road. There is a lot of cottages, sheds and tall trees around the place with a nice green blue water. I also saw some rock formations on the side, plants, flowers and vegetables. Travel Siquijor and all your worries will be swept away.


Refreshing Capilay's Spring Park in San Juan, Siquijor

From the port of Larena, I immediately took a habal-habal going to the south part of Siquijor. Imagine that this place is in front of their municipal hall and at the center of the public plaza. I enjoy fish feeding & relaxing cold water spring from the mountain. Well, it is nice to see a body of nature at the center of town plaza and at least there's no more need to trek or walk long minutes for this and the lake is simply amazing. The place is clean, well-maintained and also it's free - no entrance to be collected and everyone is welcome to plunge into the water. The area have provided with picnic table with chair and enjoy the nature spring.
