Big mouth, but good soul. The monastery of desires and exotic canyening
Description:
Tired of standard excursions, then you are with us, this fascinating trip to the world of history, wildlife, exoticism
- Visit the Oldest Chinese Caret Cemetery. This is the oldest cemetery in Cebu, a ghost town where people settled in crypts, it would seem all gloomy, but it is not!
- The Cross of Magellan and the oldest church of Santo Niño in the Philippines.
- Tabunok is the only city in the Philippines where tricycles (public transport) have an exclusive colorful tuning!
- Remember the funny prices? So this is the city of KAR-KAR, where you can still buy shoes made of natural leather from 350 rubles.
- After the shoe market, we will stop at the grocery store, where the most popular dish in the Philippines (lechon Baboi) is a gentle baked piglet with spicy herbs on coals and learn how to choose the tastiest!
- Take a walk around the market and see what seafood the Filipino can afford. Pick fresh seafood for lunch and head to the next stop.
The pearl of the excursion is one of the most amazing places in the Philippines, the miraculous Monastery of Holy Communion, which is famous for its statuette of St. Mary. Locals believe that it brings not only healing, but also great luck. The indescribable energy of the monastery will leave a mark on your soul for a long time. Hundreds of people every day put candles in the monastery and make their wishes and believe me, they come true.
The rest of the day we offer to spend on one of the most beautiful beaches of the city of Argao on the shores of a fishing village, to see how local fishermen live and together with them pull out a net, taste seafood dishes cooked right on the stake by a Filipino family, according to their own recipes, which can not be compared to any restaurant in the Philippines.
Swimming in the sea, go to the hotel, which is located on the seafront in the city of Oslob, on the way there will be a stop in a German cafe on a high hill overlooking the sea, for those who are hungry, I recommend dinner and share impressions!
Check-in and stay at the hotel.
- Day 2. Rise 5:00.
- The most exciting point of our trip will be an unforgettable swim with whale sharks. You can feel the power and grace of these sea creatures!
- After breakfast at the hotel, we will visit the Tumalog Falls, a great opportunity to swim in the cool waters after the warm waters of the Sulu Sea and refresh ourselves before moving to the Kawasan Falls for new adventures.
- 11:00 Why do we need a boring walk that takes 45 minutes, we need a drive on vacation, like a bird sweeping over the jungle on a zipline and with new emotions waiting for us canyoning. Canyoning is a descent downstream or waterfall by climbing, jumping, sliding. There are many beautiful places in the world where you can do this and they will all be a little different! At Kawasan Falls, you jump and slide down your path from top to bottom, reaching the end of the famous waterfall.
- The journey through the canyons of Kawasan Falls takes about 3 hours, and you usually start your adventure in the morning and finish by lunch. Even though it takes half a day, it’s definitely exhausting!
- Lunch, and moving to Cebu.
No, the tour is not over, we are still waiting for adventure.
- Snorkelling with millions of sardines and sea turtles, a unique opportunity to see the rich marine world not far from the shore.
- Mantayupan Falls.
- The suspension bridge will lead to the highest bridge on the island of Cebu, falling from a height of 98 meters, falling, the water is saturated with oxygen and charged with the energy of the jungle wildlife, a good reason to recharge at the end of the trip.
- Passing the serpentine, and again get to the city of Kar-Kar, because we have not yet tried Chicharon, delicious chips made of pork skin, dipping them in hot coconut vinegar, will be something to crunch on the way to Cebu!
- Returning to the hotel, time to share.
