Mystical Siquijor

From Dumaguete City, we rode the Delta fast craft going to Siquijor.

This is the Delta ferry we rode going to Siquijor. Big waves are on our way to Siquijor. Another "roller coaster" ride. The crew distributed a plastic bag for whoever will vomit.

Arrived at Siquijor port. Hoping that it wouldn't rain.

I was really impressed with the relaxing view of San Juanico beach.

during high tide, people can swing on this rope and then jump into the water.

One of the highlight of our trip, the Cambughanay Falls. You need to take a 100+ steps down to the falls. The water is very clear and I was convinced to take a dip.

Enjoying the view of the road and coastline

Feeding the fish at the foot of the old Balete tree.

On our way back to Dumaguete City (via Jaylan).

One of the smallest province in the Philippines. The island is popular for its witches, shamans, magic potions, black magic and sorcery. But for a traveller like me, Siquijor is the perfect place to relax. The place is very clean and quiet. The locals are very nice and friendly. According to our guide, Siquijor has a zero crime rate. I really had a wonderful time there.

By the way, thanks to Joam, our Siquijor tour guide. Here's his contact# 09276932095.
