Tour Highlights:
Old Balete Tree

St. Isidore Church and Convent
Built by Spanish priest in 1884 in Lazi, it is the biggest and among the oldest convents in Asia and recognized as a National Historical Landmark.
Cambugahay Waterfalls
Discover the three-level waterfall with refreshing water perfect for swimming. We recommend you bring a sarong or throw-over clothing, as there is no changing room at the falls.
Shell Museum
An exhibit of many seashells found in Siquijor.
Bolo-bolo Healer
Meet with a local healer. One of their main healing rituals involves using a clear glass of water, black stone and a pipe. Using the pipe, the healer blows into the glass of water, moving it across the affected area of the patient’s body. The water in the glass slowly becomes murky, filled with brown and cottony organic matter believed to be the bad elements removed from the patient’s body. The process is repeated a few times until the water remains clear, an indication that the impurities causing the disease has been healed.
St. Francis of Assisi Church and Bell Tower
Located in Siquijor town, this is the first church you will see when arriving from Siquijor Pier. This is the first Parish Church on the island and was built in 1783.
San Juan de Capilay Lake
The natural spring water that flows through Capilay Lake serves as the local’s picnic area on most weekends.

Day 5: Bohol - Chocolate Hills
Enjoy breakfast at the resort. At 9am, meet your representative and take your transfer for your Chocolate Hills tour. 1200 grass-covered conical hills rise out of a very flat area. The grass turns brown in summertime, making them appear like the popular American Hershey's Kisses chocolates, hence their name.
You will also have the opportunity to see the artificial forest of Bilar. It is a forest that stretches for two kilometres and is densely populated with mahogany trees. The forest is said to be artificial because the mahogany trees were planted by students several years ago.
You can also admire the famous tarsiers, popular icons of Bohol. The Philippine tarsier, is known to be one of the smallest primates in the world. They are considered to be the mammals with the largest eyes in proportion to their bodies. It is important not to touch them, and to turn off the camera flash, as they are very fearful and vulnerable animals.
Next, we head to Baclayon Church, considered one of the oldest Catholic Church buildings in the Philippines, dedicated to Our Lady of the Immaculate Conception. It was founded in 1596.
End the day, with a visit to the site: "Blood Pact" in Tagbilaran. This is where the pact between Sikatuna and Miguel Lopez de Legaspi (natives and Spaniards) took place. This act symbolises the peace and friendship between them, which took place on 16 March 1565.
Lunch will be served during the River Cruise.

Your Destination —
Philippines
Made up of 7,107 islands, the Philippines is defined by its pristine beaches, vivid green rice fields, fiery volcanoes, and diverse culture. The entire area covers around 300,000 square kilometres, and is surrounded by the South China Sea to the west, the Philippine Sea to the east and the Celebes Sea to the south.
Many mountains and active volcanoes dot the landscape, and craggy limestone cliffs and caves border the crystal clear waters and powder soft white sands. The religions, ethnicity, language and scenery vary hugely from island to island, resulting in an ever changing, multi layered experience of authentic Asia.
