Dalaguete Day-Off Adventure: Exloring Osmeña Peak – Kulabyaw Cave – Obong Spring

Staying abroad for almost a week was fun but staying there just got me feeling a little under the weather for some weird reasons, so when I finally got back in the country, I thought of getting connected with nature just like the good old days.

I was initially thinking of going straight to Aloguinsan. I heard about how marvelous the sceneries are down there particularly that of Bojo River; but just out of the blue, my close friends at work just all agreed to head to Dalaguete instead. So the next day, we found ourselves all prepped up, all ready to explore the “Vegetable Basket of Cebu” and check out three of the bests that the town has to offer : Osmeña Peak, Kulabyaw Cave and Obong Spring.

            

How To Get There:

You can take a bus heading south. Make sure you tell  the driver or the steward beforehand to drop you off at the Dalaguete junction. From the junction, you can hire motorcycles to get you to Mantalungon then you can start hiking or you can also get the drivers to drop you off the nearest foot of the Mantalungon Mountain Range.

First stop is the ever-famous Osmeña Peak.
