Cebu : Danasan Eco Adventure Park

Danasan Eco Adventure Park in Danao, Cebu

heading danasan

Danasan Eco Adventure Park is located along the mountain range near  Danao City in Cebu. It's about two hours away from Cebu City. The terrain going to this place is mostly uphill woth some rough road along the way. I suggest renting a van for you to have a hassle-free ride. This place is perfect get-away for outdoor enthusiast. It offers a lot of activities such as zip line, ATV, wake boarding, horse back riding among others.

While the other group are busy on their ATV activity. We headed to wake boarding area
and get a short one on one lesson on dry land with the instructor before performing the activity. Since all of us are first timer, they taught us the basics, like how to position your body, your hands and feet, how to handle the pull from the cable.After a while, we're ready to hit the lake.

Bagacay Point Lighthouse

Bagacay Point Lighthouse in Liloan, Cebu


glimpse of the Lighthouse

Bagacay Point Lighthouse is situated in Brgy. Catarman, Liloan, Cebu. The lighthouse tower stands at a height of 72 feet in an uphill area overlooking the Camotes Island. It is the famous lighthouse to many people from even outside of Liloan. It is located just a few steps away from the sea, and serves as an important marker for traffic - in and out of the northern tip of Cebu. This serves as a night guide for sailors searching entry ponts in Cebu.

After lunch, we headed to Liloan proper to visit this old century Lighthouse. The place boasts of fresh air and amazing view - definitely a perfect place to relax. We were blessed enough to include this itinerary and able to spend some time to visit this place.

Bagacay Point Lighthouse is one of the historical landmarks here,serving as an alternative tourism destination for those who loved scenic views and fond of visiting lighthouse all over the country.  So, when exploring Cebu, it should never be missed!

Engine of C-47 plane
We arrived at exactly 7 a.m. at the Mactan International Airport. We were welcomed by Master Luz and friends, and immediately hit the road going to Balamban. There are different trails to reach Mt. Manunggal, but due to limited time, we chose the easiest trail. We hiked through the established tourist trail towards the peak of Mt. Manunggal. We saw the actual spot where the plane crashed, the engine etched in the area serving as its marker. Another cemented wall was constructed with a “marble plate” where the names of the 27 passengers of Mt Pinatubo are engraved.

After 15 minutes of trekking, we reached the Marker of President Ramon Magsaysay. We rest a bit, took pictures and enjoy the scenery. The climb also served as a Birthday Climb for Felix, Luz and Ronfel. It was a great experience visiting this historical site. Afterwards, we then headed to the city for our lunch.

Rico's Lechon


We traveled two hours on a zigzag road heading back to city. We reached Rico's lechon around 1:30PM. It took us a long while to get enough seats for everyone, but it's worth the wait - Cebu Lechon!
