  • Romblon

    A slice of our recent trip in Romblon, a province in Luzon. Tourism-wise, the place is yet to be discovered. In 4 days, we saw Cathedral Cove and San Jose Beach in Carabao Island, Bonbon Beach in Romblon, Akim's Haven in Alcantara, and Looc Fish Sanctuary in Tablas. Be warned though. The place is definitely for the allocentric!

    Looc Marine Sanctuary On Tablas Island Romblon

    Looc Marine Sanctuary on Tablas Island, Romblon, is one of the longest standing tourism attractions on the island.

    The Best Summer Spots For The Spontaneous

    Everyone loves summer. Unlike any other season, it brings out the spontaneous side of people. Maybe it's how everything gleams in sunshine??"as if the sun is actually teasing us to go out; or maybe it's the warm weather giving us all the happy feels.

The waterfall is an easy 30 to 45 minutes walks from the jump-off (the first stream) in a 1-3 trail class. There are series of stream crossings (around 5) and few rocks climbing (near the basin).

    The waterfall has several layers and some of its portions are deep. At the top of the first layer, there is a hidden basin. The place is not yet crowded. During our visit, we did not encounter other ...
