OH virac youre the best!!
Share: Here's why I think VIRAC Catanduanes is the most beautiful place I have ever visited in the Philippines. The place is like a living postcard.
I think Catanduanes is one of the most underrated place in the Philippines. I visited last 2021 and I was blown away how beautiful, untouched and Instagram-worthy the tourist spots are. I am not joking when I say that Catanduanes is like Batanes, New Zealand, Taiwan, Boracay and Siargao combined into one. Also, the Catanduanos are some of the kindest people I have met during my travels.
What to see:
In Pandan, Catanduanes - From Virac, ride a van going to Pandan, travel is 3-4 hrs. Then, you can hire a habal to visit the tourist spots.
1. Tuwad-Tuwadan Lagoon - Not for the faint of heart. You can jump into the most beautiful blue color of Pacific ocean while the waves are rolling in.
2. Cagnipa Rolling Hills - New Zealand and Batanes feels. Feels like you're in another country. It's just so stunning.
3. Hiyop Rolling Hills - Feels like you're in Batanes but there's a nearby white beach!
Also, Pandan is just really pretty. So many tourist spots.
In Virac and vicinity
1. Binurong Point - Jaw dropping sights and one of the best views I have seen in the country. The 30-minute hike is worth it.
2. Bote Lighthouse - The best view of Pacific Ocean. It's a difficult trek, but the viewsyof Pacific Ocean is so beautiful.
3. Puraran Beach Resort - Surfing area and its actually have an edge at Cloud 9 in Siargao, as it has white sand.
4. Twin Rock Beach Resort - Boracay and El Nido rolled into one. The white sand is so fine.
5. Bato Church - One of the most beautiful church I have seen in the country.
And so many many more! The three days I spent on Catanduanes is so kulang.. The place is like so blessed with so many stunning natural attractions. I am from Palawan and I can say that if you're fan of nature, then Catanduanes can give my province a run for the money.
Simply put, Catanduanes is a must visit for any Filipino tourist. I felt proud just visiting the area. We are truly blessed.
