Siquijor - Dumaguete - Dao Falls Itinerary

Here is the complete detail of our itinerary and expenses.

Side Trip: Dao Falls

We arrived earlier than we planned in our itinerary, we got some extra time when arrived at Liloan Port. An extra time that we don't want to waste. We unanimously agreed to visit Dao Falls located in Samboan. There are three popular falls in Samboan ~ Aguinid Falls, Hidden Falls and Dao Falls. Last year (I didn't blog it but i'll be posting a throwback soon) we visited, Aguinid Falls and Hidden Falls. Dao is far from these two falls, so we didn't have a chance to see it. We negotiated a habal-habal for 200 each person. The funny thing was only one driver knew where Dao Falls located but he had never seen Dao Falls. In short, 6 of us, including us and the drivers it was our first time to visit Dao falls. Hahaha. Who would have thought that Monday would be so great? We were the only guests to tour the falls! We started the trek downhill and then pass through the hanging bridge. It was scorching hot so we took a water break. Then we climb into a bamboo ladder. B...

Dumaguete (Day 2) After we've enjoyed the mystical island, we are now ready to discover what Dumaguete can offer. Popularly known as The City of Gentle People. Our main purpose why we traveled here was to check out the Pulang Bato falls and of course Silvanas! We arrived at Dumaguete around 12 noon and after we checked in at Gabby's BnB we immediately started our tour. We just visited few of the famous tour spots and hopefully, I can go back and check out the other places. Must See and Must Try: 1. Pulang Bato Falls Red River Valley Waterfalls which is locally known as Pulang Bato situated at the town of Valencia. A very unique waterfalls which colors appears to be red because of the presence of natural reddish rocks found in the area. 2. Red Rock Hot Spring Taking a dip into red rock hot spring is the best way to relax in the cold temperature of Valencia and it claims to give therapeutic benefits such as, arthritis, insomia, fatigue, etc. Caution: Don'...

Siquijor (Day 1) Yey! It's already 2016. New year which means new travels, discoveries and adventures for me! And for my first stop ~ The Mystical Island ~ SIQUIJOR! Whenever people hear the name of this place they always think about magic and by magic they mean black magic. This is the main reason why my grandparents and parents were so against about this travel. I really tried my best to convince and assure them that nothing will ever happen to me. Yep, that's right even with this modern world and technology people still have that stigma on this majestic place. It will only take you a day to tour around the top spots of this island. (Check out our Siqui-Duma+Dao falls itinerary and budget expense.)  Must See and Must Try: 1. St. Francis de Assisi Church 2. Guiwanon Spring Park 3. Cang - Isok House  4. Tulapos Marine Sanctuary 5. Pan Bisaya Try the old-style baking + Sweet and tasty Torta! 6. Salagdoong Beach 7. St. Maria...
