The "Healing Practice" that adds more enchantment to the Island..


Many are afraid to go, but more dare to brave seeing (and experiencing) it first hand.. The art of Faith Healing made Siquijor Island a special destination for holidays.. Many say why go traditional when advanced medicine is at its peak, but more say "why not" giving it a shot..

Facts: Siquijor Town is the Capital Town of the Province and the most populous as of 2010 Census, while Enrique Villanueva Town being the least with just almost 6,000, approximately. *Wiki

One of the Oldest.. and Grandest.. Pray with me at St. Francis de Assisi Church..


Sitting at the heart of Siquijor Town, a very short proximity from Siquijor Port is the century-old Catholic Church of Siquijor.. aka St. Francis de Assisi Church.. The province is blessed to have many old structures including numerous century-old churches which we can visit all in a day..

We can go beach or waterfall hopping, and if you would let me, I will drive you around to see the spiritual side of the province..

Morning coffee by the beach.. Let me take you to Healing Beach..


Many say that Siquijor Town Port Beach is one of nicest port beaches in the country, aka the Healing Beach.. It is and many cannot resist but take a snap (or selfie), immediately upon setting foot on the island..

There are some cottages for rent by the beach, perfect place to have your first meal for the day.. Weather permitting, we can even share the time with some local folks out to the sea for an early catch..

Tips: San Juan Town has a row of beautiful accommodations mushroomed along the town's coast, but in case you settled in for one by the port (Siquijor Town Port), never miss to spend even one morning at this beautiful stretch, the Healing Beach.

Dive to more adventure in Siquijor.. Eat Ambilang (edible live earthworm) with me..


Found along the beach side of Siquijor Port is Ambilang, believed by many to be aphrodisiac.. We can pick some together and set the table with ice cold beer to end your day in Siquijor..

Trivia: The same kind of earthworm is also abundant on the beach sands of Northern and Southern Palawan, they call it Wak-Wak. We named it Ambilang here in Siquijor.

Note: Less adventurer can have them in vinegar.. We can also mix and add something more familiar like veggies of your choice, or even cook it the way adobo is prepared..  But for far more less adventurer, we can still collect some for your lenses to capture..

Consider it your own.. Let me take you to Bacong Beach..

Note: Going to is through a lush jungle in Maria Tows' eastern side..  No trails established (yet) and the way to and from can be tricky..  SiquijorTourGuide's most recent visit to the beach was last July 2015.  The shore has white pebble grounds and not sand..  Wearing comfortable slippers are advised..

See more of Siquijor's Heritage.. Let me take you to Lazi Church..

The most famous body of water in Siquijor Island.. Cambugahay Falls, being the TripAdivor's number one "things to do tips" in Siquijor, no doubt is a popular spot to local and foreign tourists alike..

Not your ordinary Siquijor Island Tour.. Let me take you to Cangbangag Falls..


Probably the tallest falls in the whole of Siquijor.. Cangbangag Falls is not included yet from the listed Tourist Sites at the Tourism Office in Siquijor Town Port.. Reaching the site requires a bit of leg stretching through a trailed path in the jungle of Larena Town.. You will even have the chance to see the whole of Maria Town from atop a hill on the way back.. Talk about the chance of taking Panoramic Views..


SiquijorTourGuide's recent visit to Cangbangag Falls was in July 2015 and it was worth a trip as always.. We can prepare and pack some food and drinks bought from the nearest public market in Larena Town should you wish to stay longer at Cangbangag Falls..

Note: The falls is reachable in approximately 1.5 hours, one way.. Suggested hiking start time is in the morning at around 9:00 AM.. The trail could be slippery and wearig comfortable hiking shoes is recommended.. We do not want to dirt-mud your favorite pair of Havaianas, anyway..

Some prefer it to be quiet.. Let me take you to Lugnason Falls..


Stunning as Cambugahay Falls but a lot less crowded.. You can even sometimes have the falls all to yourself..

Lugnason Falls is located in San Juan Town and accessible via an easy path down to the streams.. A very quiet place,. Clean, cold and clear water..
