The Mystic Island Siquijor

The mystic island "Isla de Fuego" the Island of Fire, Siquijor a place where people are hesitant to go to because for most filipinos, this place is mysterious , a place of witchcraft and the unknowns.

When I decided to have a trip to this island I have been reminded to be aware not to eat anywhere or be careful whom to talk to and all sort. They don't know what they are missing because the place probably be enchanted, because you will be enchanted with the beauty of this place, the pristine beaches and a lot of beautiful natures to visit like Caves, Springs and a lot more.

This view will welcome you as soon as you get off in the port. What a beautiful sight, it's all worth a travel.

A welcome place to stay in San Juan, the Islandia Beach Resort.

     You will be welcome with the helpful      

       staffs and personal welcome note.

 

We left our hotel in the morning to visit the tourists spots of Siquijor, we cruised in the scooter and headed to Lazi the town of Siquijor nearby where we stayed in San Juan. 

Our first stop was the Ancient old tree or "Balete Tree", this tree was 400 years old tree.

There's lot of tourist chilling under this tree while having a fish foot spa on the natural stream where you can just soak your foot and be tickled with the different sizes of fish.

Next stop is San Isidro Labrador Church and Convent, one of the country’s oldest and largest spiritual structures.

And for about 10 minutes drive from the convent that you should never miss visiting, you can reach the beautiful falls Cambugahay Falls it features shallow multi-tiered waterfalls, perfect for an afternoon dip. 

It is so refreshing to dip in the water after the long walk on the steps going down to reach this place but it's worth to walk.

You can actually drive and stroll the island  for the whole day but since it's summer my husband and I couldn't cope cruising on the scooter on the blazingly hot weather we couldn't cope the heat so we just managed to stop by and take photos of some places.

           Enjoy the view of nature

Chill on the hammock and enjoy the view.

       And enjoy the view of the sunset.

Don't miss to check Chekesh Bar, they serve beautiful meals at a fair price.

We order their special of the day, and it was so delicious that I can eat more of it.

Grilled Mahi-Mahi in red wine sauce served with garlic potato wedges and green salad. 

     A mixed fruit juice that is refreshing 

  A sumptuous meal you will never forget.

Since we arrived night time on the place, it seems like we spent 3 days and 2 nights but the reality we only spent 2 nights and almost 2 days on the Island. And it was not enough time for us. But

I will surely come back to this beautiful Island and definitely spend more days to be able to visit all the tourist spot that I have missed.
