Virac Catanduanes Trip

Sto. Doming River

Catanduanes is an island paradise in the Pacific,  visit to this island is more than just exploring its unspoiled beaches or enjoying surfing at Puraran Beach located on the northside. For acqua sport try scuba diving and sports fishing.

Catanduanes offers much more. It is rich in history, blending quaintly with the peaceful jutting mountains all over the island.


Adventures hike the twisting trails of Gigmoto and San Andres and enjoy the cool refreshing waterfalls, the religious visit to the ancient church of Bato and hike to the stone chapel a kilometer away where the first mass was believed to have been celebrated by the Spanish conquerors.

Island life is not as quiet as it seems. The capital town of Virac is irresistible for an oceanfront entertainment and arousing videoke bars. A hotel offers a breathtaking view of the entire island as its penthouse restaurant.
 
Resorts abound to accommodate leisure-seeking travelers, with a chain of picnic sheds and cottages over a well-manicured landscape, surrounded with lush greeneries.

Best time for me to travel to this place is during the dry season, Philippines has a tropical climate unexpected rains from time to time specially on this part even its up and sunny on other part of the country..  Every time we visit my relatives here we always get stranded for couple days due to climate, zero visibility.  Best part is..Hotel, Food , Fare comes cheap,,, people are very honest.  One time I forgot my bag on the tricycle after taking me to a hotel… bang!!! Disaster, no cloths, no charger, ipod and wallet… after less than 20 minute the trike driver came back and cal for us for my bag! He’s such a life saver.
