Sensational Siquijor, Adventure Challenge - Side Trips

Other teams fought their way to becoming the Fastest Team in the “Sensational Siquijor, Adventure Challenge”. Our Vibrant Visayas team knew we did not stand a chance. Knowing our own capacity in terms of speed in performing and finishing the tasks, we decided to make this challenge more memorable and enjoyable at our own pace. We specially did this for our members who are new to the island of Siquijor.

Our Adventure Craze in Siquijor

To see it fast and quick and live to tell it thru social media...in the world of blogging.

Competitive as I am, I was pretty excited and eager to test my skill and challenged my age. I would probably be rubbing elbows or do the ala Jaworski shoving with participants probably half my age.

I am not that old. I love challenges. And I could probably win it. Or so I thought..

You can call it opportunities or choices. Not everyone will or can experience the opportunity to see the wonderful tourists sites and adventures in the mystique island of Siquijor in a race. But race we did not as we spent more time roaming around the island. Here's what we did in Siquijor (Photos courtesy of April Joy "Bebsy" Lamis):

1st challenge: Sack Race

Challenging? Maybe. But what does it got to do with tourism? It does! Because we are racing and jumping in the white sands of Coco Grove Beach Resort in San Juan, Siquijor. With the morning smell of sun in the beach and pristine waters under the shade or coconut trees. Probably now I understand why it's called Coco Grove. It strengthens me to jump even more. True enough, the first challenged pushed my body against youth. And I survived the first!

Cambugahay Falls

One of the best tourist destinations of the famed Isla del Fuego, or commonly known as Siquijor is the Cambugahay Falls.

It is located at Lazi, Siquijor. The place can be reached either by river or forest trek. Secluded and relatively unexplored, the waterfall beckons trekkers for a refreshing dip. One can also enjoy vine swinging and drop directly to the awaiting fresh waters on the first fall. There are three levels of waterfalls. The first waterfall is shallow. The second and third levels are a much deeper part of the falls. More adventurous folks can also jump off the waterfalls.
