Siquijor Island

For most Filipinos, Siquijor is a mysterious other-world of witchcraft and the unknown. True, this tiny island province is famous for its mountain-dwelling mangkukulam (healers) who brew traditional ointments for modern ailments. But these days Siquijor's most popular healing practice involves a cocktail and a deck chair at any number of its laid-back and wonderfully affordable beach resorts. Attractions include great diving, waterfalls, caves and forest walks in the hilly interior. Just about everywhere on Siquijor is great for snorkelling – find the nearest beach and dive in. Like many beaches in the Visayas, swimming is only possible during high tide, and wearing thongs (flip-flops) is recommended as protection against sea urchins.


SIQUIJOR

Formerly called “Isla de Fuego” or Island of Fire during the early Spanish era for the glow caused by numerous fireflies at night. Siquijor today is fast becoming a tourist hot spot in Central Visayas due to its natural beauty and distinct charm that keep attracting people to uncover the island’s mystique.
