4. Mountain Trekking and See Mother Nature
For nature lover like me, Cebu is in the top of the list in the Philippines to Visit. The province itself has quite a lot of backpackers and trekkers that usually go out during weekends to hike.
I have tried climbing Osmena Peak at Cebu South during one of my road trips with my gals and it is by far one of the most treasured memoirs in my life.
5. Visit Themed Parks
Whenever I go abroad/international, I always lookout for theme parks just like in Singapore – Universal Studios.
When I heard about the Ocean Park coming into completion, I literally jumped out of pure happiness and joy.
The Danasan Eco Adventure Park is also one of my beloved parks in Cebu. You get to connect with nature too while enjoying activities they offer.
Cebu Safari is also there but I haven’t visited it. Maybe, I have been saving the best for last nevertheless, all of the parks are amazing.
