Pulang Bato Falls is a 30-foot waterfall with a unique picturesque because the limestone walls by the water are covered with red due to sulfur deposits. By the way, its name literally translates to "red rock" in English. This waterfall is surrounded by beautiful landscapes, including the man-made hanging bridge and colourful ornaments. It is one of the top tourist spots in Valencia, Negros Oriental.
It is a 3-tiered waterfall with free-flowing, cool, crystal-clear waters. The area surrounding Cambugahay Falls has luscious greens that create a relaxing ambience. If you want a thrilling experience, try the prominent "Tarzan swing." Get a water massage! Water rafts can be rented, with a local, to go to the spot where the waters are falling. Brace yourself because the sound of the rushing water will make your day a lazy day. Also, locals are great photographers.
Be transformed as you meditate at the garden of vines that heals every soul’s weary at the Hagonoy Island – that’s their slogan here. This islet is really small, just a hundred meters long or maybe less but has a fine white sand shore and surrounded by crystal clear waters. Hagonoy is an islet with few coconuts and trees, so expect for a darker skin tone after your visit because of the sun rays. It is the cutest among Britania Group of Islets.
The Plunge, or a canyon swing, is an extreme activity now climbing to be one of the top tourist spots and destinations in Danao, Bohol. Situated in the area where the longest Philippine Revolutionary Movement took place, led by Francisco Dagohoy, a Boholano hero. The boulders and limestone formations in the area might have witnessed the most important stage of how these Boholano heroes plotted the revolution against the Spaniards. Today, the facility is being run by the local government, and it is a center of eco-tourism, recreation, and adventure in the province awaiting discovery.

| The white sand shoreline of Alubihod Beach. |
After Trappist Monastery, we headed to Alubihod Beach in Nueva Valencia. Travelling to this gorgeous beach via habal is easy because the roads are all concrete. I was welcomed by the courteous staff of Raymen Beach Resort. Settled the entrance fee and walked to the beach area. The shoreline is pretty in its own way. The picturesque is Instagram-worthy because of the rock formation highlighted by the creamy white sand with corals and pebbles. The ambience by the beach is relaxing because the sea breeze is cool.
Touching the walls of Guisi Lighthouse or Faro de Punta Luzaran is the most exciting part of my backpacking in Guimaras. It is the second oldest lighthouse in the Philippines, lighted up for the first time in 1894. This structure was erected in the 18th century to guide the mariners passing by the waters of Ilo-Ilo and Guimaras. Its structure is made of metal from France, tisa from Portugal, and cement from England. Based on the ruins, the floor plan is similar to Burgos Lighthouse in Ilocos Norte and the Cape Engaño Lighthouse in Palaui Island. Today, the thick walls are covered with mosses and plants, and the rusty metal lighthouse remains erect. The ambiance in the area is relaxing because of the cool sea breeze.
Bohol is one of the top tourist destinations in the Visayas region because of the stunning "chocolate hills" and the weird-looking primate called "tarsier;" these are just two of those in the limelight. As we dig deeper, we see that the province can offer a lot of gems. Historical landmarks and old churches are always part of the itinerary. Still, during summer or even the rainy season, the fine white sand beaches and the beauty of the flora and fauna underwater became top of the list of the most seen. In addition, extreme activities can be tried, like the Top 1 on my list - THE PLUNGE of Danao Adventure Camp, situated in the Municipality of Danao.
The spectacular beauty of the Batad Rice Terraces captured the eyes of the world in 1995 when it was listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Less than a thousand years ago, the people of Ifugao mastered agricultural practices, including the creation of terraces. This agricultural landscape proves that the early civilizations already knew how to improve their crops by adapting to natural factors through terracing.
