Suroy-suroy: Alegria, Cebu (3- Day Vacation)

A L E G R I A, C E B U

I've travelled far south of the island but never set foot in Alegria before but now sinaw! The bus trip takes 3 long hours but It's worth it because of the beautiful landscapes and seascapes waiting along the way. Thanks to Paul and his family, I together with my classmates, were able to indulge to the beauty of the province.

Farm life is not new to me for I have lived with a family of farmers in Bataan but, farming is way different in Alegria especially when it comes to their planting technique. NO PESTICIDES, NO INSECTICIDES (or suicides jk) JUST PLAIN NATURAL FARMING!! That's what Paul's dad said.

I love the fresh air and the scenery from up the Magallon's farm. I can see the Osmena Peak from here (i think). The turkey's are very friendly (if you know what I mean) and very loud haha! I've never been to a place on the mountains with open spaces like what we had in Alegria. It felt like paradise. Seriously.

Before we could reach Alegria, we first had to pass through Badian and they undeniably have very beautiful beaches. I didn't have to travel all the way to Boracay for white sand beaches, it's already here in CEBU!

Alegria also have their own falls to brag, The Cambais Falls. Like Badian's Kawasan Falls, it has 3 levels and has ice-cold water but what makes the Cambais Falls better than Kawasan? You can trek a kilometre to reach the area and spoil yourself with pure pure nature. The place is not commercialised so expect zero entrance fee. Just don't forget to keep the place CLEAN AND CRYSTAL CLEAR!

Never witnessed the sunset before but definitely in Alegria, which is actually located west of Cebu, is a perfect place for sunset shots. Oh, and that island right there is Negros! We were all safe when we attempted this jump shot. HAHAHAHA!
