SIQUIJOR

LARENA SANDUGAN MANGROVE OF SIQUIJOR

SIQUIJOR BEACH

CAMBUGAHAY FALLS IN SIQUIJOR
WHAT TO SEE: An isolated,somewhat mystical island in the Southern Visayas Region,Sequijor's charm lies it its untainted rural character,There's also its so-called witch docyors . Not to be missed: The Cathedral of St. Isidore Labrador in the town of Lazi features hardwood floors and an ancient facade of coral rock. From here the three-tired Cambugahay Falls is just a short habal-habal scooter ride away. Catch some R&R amidst the white sand and torquoise waters of the San Juan municipality,or go spelunking in the cavernous Cantabon Cave. And the witches? You'll find them in the mountain village of San Antonio, Pedro Tumapon and Juan Ponce, two of the island's more popular mystics,will gladly conjure an anting-anting amulet or an a lumay love spell (among many others,of course) for a minimal donation.There's also Enrique Bonatsita in the town of Karena, famous for his bolo-bolo---a method of healing that is reportedly as baffling as it is potent.
