Siquijor is a slice of paradise waiting to be uncovered. This hidden gem remains under the radar for many tourists, but its allure is steadily gaining recognition. It's a small island in the Philippines known for its mystical reputation and traditional healers. The island boasts attractions like diving, waterfalls, caves, and forest walks. Snorkelling is excellent everywhere, especially during high tide, and wearing flip-flops is advised for protection against sea urchins. Paliton Beach, northeast of San Juan, offers stunning white sand and crystal-clear water, ideal for diving along the wall extending to Tubod Beach. Explore the oldest Catholic convent near San Isidro Labrador Church and visit the Siquijor Heritage Museum. Cambugahay Falls, a 3-tier waterfall, is a popular spot with turquoise water, rope swings, and bamboo rafts. Near Campalanas village, a 400-year-old balete tree is believed to be enchanted, with a pool of flesh-nibbling fish offering a free 'fish spa.' A nearby souvenir shop sells coconut water, coffee, and bottled 'love potion' made from herbs.
