02 Camiguin
Camiguin is considered a hidden gem of Mindanao. It may be the smallest province in the country but it is overflowing with untouched nature’s bounty and a colorful cultural heritage. Camiguin houses the lush forest reserves called the Mount Hibok-Hibok Protected Landscape. Go spring hopping at Ardent Hibok-Hibok Spring Resort, Sto. Nino Cold Spring and Bura Soda Pool or take a refreshing dip at the Mantigue Island or Katibawasan Falls. Finally, don’t forget to taste their sweet lanzones! In fact, they have a lanzones festival every October. Accommodations here are relatively cheap with hotels as low as Php1,000 per night.
