Siquijor: La Isla del Fuego

[ireneolive]

---

Way recent visitors sa Siquijor this summer?

We went there last weekend May 16-18, 2015. Nag via Liloan, Santander to Dumaguete sad to say na stranded kay wala kaapas sa last trip. Sunday morning we departed to Siquijor through slow boat, 150php fare. Kung overnight stay lang, mas better maglukat daan ug ticket pauli para less hassle d next day kay taas kaayo ang pila. Pista man gud sa Lazi mao daghan pasahero ug summer sad daghan bakasyonista.

Since overnight stay lang, 1 day rang panahon to tour the island. We rented single motor, 350php ang rent overnight na. From Siquijor we went to Maria naa didto Salagdoong Beach isa sa pinaka nice na beach pwede mag cliff diving. 25php ang entrance fee. Before getting there, maka agi sa man-made forest. Parehas sya sa Bohol man-made forest kalahian lang karon nangalagas ang dahon kay summer man gud. Pero nice kaayo ang view. Next stop San Isidro Labrador Church, isa sa pinaka oldest church sa Phils. Atbang kay ilang museum which was believed na medyo hunted. Karaan na gyud nawng ang church pero lig.on gihapon ang structure.

Then we headed to Lazi, next town to visit Cambugahay falls. Didto pwede mag ala-Tarzan layat sa falls. Free entrance naa lang 5php parking fee. Limpyo na falls ug dapat jud mo try atong tarzan jump or else you will miss the fun. Next stop was Old Enchanted Balete tree. A 400 year old Balete tree known to provide water to the residents. Naay free fish spa. Relaxing ang place medyo hadlok lang itunob sa tubig kay dagko kaayong mga isda murag mapahak atong lapa lapa. hahaha. Then we headed to the next town, San Juan tua didto ang Capilay Spring Resort. Spring pool open to public no entrance fee.

Since mga 1st timers, suroy dala explore ang peg. hahaha. Kapila sad mi nag unnecessary U-turn, nagub.an motor, naulanan sa dalan pero very friendly kaayo mga tawo didto. Layo ra sa akong gi expect na hadlok kay what is Siquijor daghan mga you know. hehehe. naay kas.a nag tapok2x sila sa gawas gisinggitan gyud mi pag agi, "uyyy, mangaon" pag agi namo. manangpit or mo smile gyud sila along the way. Naka pangayo pa mig mangga pag uli. hahaha. Ipabati gyud nila welcome ang mga bisita sa ilang probinsya.

Sayon ra tultolon ang mga tourist spot destinations kay nagsunod ra ug usa ka libot rang island. Ngutana lang ug direction aron likay sa mga saag moments. hehe. Then from San Juan balik nami Siquijor where we stayed overnight near sa port aron dali ra pag uli the next day. Room rates ranges from 400php-600php non aircon, 800php above aircon accomodation good for 2 person.
Regarding sa gasto depende ra pila ka days mo stay. The longer, the higher cost of expenses ma damage.

Wish we could stay a little bit longer maskin 2days lang apan di na pwede. Looking forward to get back soon kanang taas na time to explore the island. Kapoy ang byahe since kaduha mo labang ug dagat pero very much worth it!
