FASCINATING PLACES IN

ZAMBOANGA SIBUGAY

 

Owing to its natural land form, the province of Zamboanga Sibugay is blessed with an impressive range of excellent tourist destinations – interesting mountain formations, picture-perfect waterfalls, caves in which dwell thousands of bats as well as stalactites, hot springs, white sand beaches, and fish and sea snake sanctuaries.

Zamboanga Sibugay is endowed with several islets that are ideal for beach resort development. One characteristic that they have in common is their white sand beaches. In addition to these islets, there are also white sand atolls in both municipalities that are submerged during high tides.

Leading the province’s inland tourist attractions are the large caves and majestic waterfalls. Read More: http://www.tourism.gov.ph/SitePages/InteractiveSitesPage.aspx?siteID=52

 

Tipan Cave

Everyone geared up and our tour guide who was trained by the Department of Tourism Region 9 gathered us for our orientation. Rey Sabanal is a local of Barangay Tipan and I’m impressed on how he oriented us like a pro who has been in the tour guiding business for years. The Do’s and Don’ts were explained very well and he underscored the responsibilities of responsible tourists. A fifteen-minute walk passing a hanging bridge led us to the entrance of Tipan Cave where we were welcomed by sharp rocks and the brown waters from inside the cave that had a slight scent of guano or bat droppings.  Read more:  http://ujalmocera.com/tipan-cave-zamboanga-sibugay-sandugo/

Titay is home to numerous waterfalls including the aptly named Tagbilat Falls, the most popular and believed to be the grandest not only in town but even in the entire province.

Tagbilat Falls is also known as Malagandis Falls as it is situated in the interrior barangay named Malagandis. It is a two-level cascade along the river of the same name. The upper level consists of small cascades while its base is a 30-feet tall curtain-like waterfall with protruded wall that forms a cave. On first look, it resembles the curtain falls of Tinuy-an in Surigao Del Sur and Campawan in Bangaga, Davao Oriental. But unlike the two, Tagbilat Falls is raw and unspoiled.  Read more:  https://www.lakwatsero.com/spots/tagbilat-falls-the-curtain-falls-of-zamboanga-sibugay/#sthash.CQ4EknTs.dpbs

 

Dalisay Falls

Dalisay Falls left me breathless at first sight. I hurriedly crossed large boulders and walked through a fallen tree that served as a bridge. Climbed a big rock and marveled at the awesome view in front of me. The basin has the right depth for swimming, although the rapids may pose a challenge if you want to get closer to the waterfall. Dalisay Falls has only one tier and four waterfall curtains. Definitely unadulterated, there are no traces of commercialism in this waterfall. You will be left with nothing but the beauty of nature. The trek was all worth it.  Read More:  http://ujalmocera.com/dalisay-falls-titay-zamboanga-sibugay/
