Let me unveil to you the following places you will love to wander.

Timubo Cave

Php30.00 entrance fee

You can enjoy the relatively warm crystal clear water of the cave. It is quite refreshing and relaxing to the body.

To completely enjoy its crystal clear water, you need to prepare your feet to pass by its slippery stairs and enjoy its coolness.

Lake Danao Park

Php60.00 entrance fee

You can already enjoy the must visit destination in the island; the guitar-shaped lake. Lake Danao is one of Camotes' breath-taking and amazing sights to look into. It's a fun place to visit because you can enjoy different activities like  kayaking,you can enjoy yourself in watching a school of fish in its placid water, horse-back riding and a zipline- the newest activity they offer.

If you're hungry, don't worry! There are food stalls in the corner all you have to do is to choose and pick what you want. Just make sure to pay it all. 😂

You don't have to worry just enjoy the nice view and capture a lot of beautiful photos.

Holy Crystal Cave

Aside from Timubo Cave, another cave that you can find in Camotes island is the Holy Crystal Cave. This is gradually becoming as one of the must-go-to places. There are no entrance fees but donations will do to maintain the place.

If you decide to go inside carefully follow the do's and dont's that the tour guide may advice to you. The place is really a bit scary 😅😅

It says there:

"Say a prayer to the inside"

"Whatever inside the cave, do not panic"

"Don't take anything inside it, the cave might take you in return"

All the creeps and I still got interested. 🏞 🚶

Bukilat Cave

Php 5.00 entrance fee

Another natural cave in Camotes. A little bit history of this cave, this was used as a shelter by the people living in this island during Japanese invasion in the Philippines. Today, they are great enough to maintain its beauty. Thus, you can now enjoy the icy-cool water of the cave.

Buho Rock

Php20.00 ent

This is an abandoned area but is now well-maintained and well taken cared of by the local government of the island because this is a great place to visit.
