Part8: Bukidnon-CDO-Iligan-Camiguin Trip Day3 - Camiguin Transportation and Ferry Schedules

Camiguin Island is known as the "Island Born of Fire", because of its seven volcanoes that eventually creates a lot of natural areas to discover and explore.  It is said to be the home of lanzones (lansones) too,  a small grape-sized tropical fruit grown all over the island, in which Lanzones Festival occurs every October. Truly this island has a lot to offer, that's why we alot our 2nd and 3rd day here. :)

Part7: Bukidnon-CDO-Iligan-Camiguin Trip Day2 - Timoga Spring Pools in Iligan

Around 3:30-4pm, we decided to finish our Tinago Falls adventure and proceed to Timoga Spring Pools. Again, we texted our habal-habal/motorycle driver to pick us up and in just a few minutes, viola! He's there! Upon reaching the Timoga Spring Pools, we paid Kuya Jun around Php300.00 for our ride for two but I think you'll save a lot if you take jeepneys and just take habal-habal ride to Tinago and Mimbalut Falls (see my previous post for transportation details: http://adventurousfeet.blogspot.com/2011/01/part5-bukidnon-cdo-iligan-camiguin-trip.html).

Part6: Bukidnon-CDO-Iligan-Camiguin Trip Day2 - Lechon, Macaraeg-Macapagal Ancestral House and Tinago Fallls in Iligan City

After enjoying the great Maria Cristina Falls, it's time for lunch! We were very hungry so we decided to proceed around Timoga spring pools. Just ride a jeep from Ma. Cristina Falls, ask the driver to drop you off  at Timoga spring pools. It's roughly around 2-4 minutes away from it.  We hired a habal-habal driver which is your other transportation option too,  we texted him to pick us up from Ma. Cristina falls.

Part5: Bukidnon-CDO-Iligan-Camiguin Trip Day2 - Maria Cristina Falls and NPC Nature's Park in Iligan

It's our 2nd day and we're planning to go falls hopping in Iligan! Falls lovers as we are, we're really excited for this backpacking daytrip!

Part4: Bukidnon-CDO-Iligan-Camiguin Trip Day1 - D' Morvie Suites and Plaza Divisoria in Cagayan De Oro

After our white water rafting, off we went to CDO proper near Plaza Divisoria to look for a cheap place to stay.  We found out D' Morvie Suites that fits our budget. Then we had our dinner in Plaza Divisoria.

Part3: Bukidnon-CDO-Iligan-Camiguin Trip Day1 - White Water Rafting in Cagayan De Oro City

The Meet-Up

We still have hangovers on our Bukidnon adventure, yet we are already excited on our rafting after lunch. Hehe. We asked Kuya Boyet to drop us in SM mall as one of us needs to buy a pair of rubber slippers. We took our lunch here and wait for our contact person in Redrafts to pick us up.

Part2: Bukidnon-CDO-Iligan-Camiguin Trip Day1 - Ultralight Flying Plane Gecko Adventure in Del Monte Pineapple Farm!

Roadtrip to Bukidnon

Our first day started on our roadtrip to Bukidnon. We left the airport at 6am and arrived in Bukidnon's Del Monte pineapple farm around 7:30am.  If you're going to commute, I guess it will take you about 2hrs of travel, but because we avail Kuya Boyet's service (check part 1 of this blog for his car service information - http://adventurousfeet.blogspot.com/2010/11/part1-bukidnon-cdo-iligan-camiguin-trip.html ) we reached it much faster.

Part1: Bukidnon-CDO-Iligan-Camiguin Trip Day1 - Landing at Cagayan De Oro City

It's been a year and a half since I've been dreaming of visiting these places. It all started when I'm searching for beautiful falls that led me on wondering Iligan and then later on discovered the must-try adventure of white water rafting in Cagayan De Oro City.  Unexpectedly, it surpassed my expectations because it's a four-day trip that we managed to at least explore a bit of Bukidnon, Cagayan De Oro, Iligan, and Camiguin.  Sounds fun?  Definitely!

Part10: The Davao Experience - Hagimit Falls in Samal Island

At the heart of the island's district lies a beautiful destination not just for tourists but also a hit with the locals -the Hagimit Falls. This is our last stop in Samal Island, nonetheless, it is worthy and lovely.
