🌿 Aloguinsan Nature Escape: Bojo River, Hermit’s Cove, Mantayupan Falls & Naga Boardwalk
Hidden gem near Cebu City (~2 hours 15 minutes away): this community-run eco-tour blends emerald-green Bojo River, the white sand beach of Hermit’s Cove, and the majestic Mantayupan Falls—the tallest in Cebu. Cap the day with sunset vibes at the scenic Naga Boardwalk. Closer than Oslob, less crowded, and your visit supports local livelihoods.
