Introduction
An exciting three-day cultural, and nature-filled escape in the picturesque town of Canagatan, lovingly nested in the heart of the Philippines. An experience to immerse into the local culture and take in the stunning beauty of nature.
Day 1 - Experiencing Local Life
Initiate your adventure with a hearty fill at a local diner, where Mama's Pancit Canton recipe awaits you - a local noodle dish served with uniquely Canagatan trademark. Later on, leisurely stroll on foot through the town, familiarising yourself with its vibrant blend of old and new. In the afternoon, immerse yourself in the local culture by taking part in a bamboo weaving workshop. The locals here are known for their intricate bamboo crafts. After an exciting traditional evening of folk dance and music, savor the taste of local street food - Lechon Manok (Roast Chicken) being the star of the buffet.
Day 2 - Grappling with Nature
Awake to the chatter of birds, and kick-off your day with a delicious Langka (Jackfruit) and Rambutan infused breakfast. Spend the day exploring Canagatan's breathtaking natural beauty. Embark on a guided hike through the lush green forest and discover the variety of flora and fauna it houses. Don't forget to pack your swimming wear, as you wouldn't want to miss the chance to dive into the crystal clear waters of the hidden waterfall you'll encounter. How about catching your own lunch? Join in the locals for a crab catching experience. A starlit dinner beside a roaring bonfire brings the day to a perfect close.
Day 3 - Unfolding History and Bidding Goodbye
On the final day, dive into the historical side of Canagatan. Visit the local 'Bantay Bato' Watchtower and learn the tales of its past. Lunch would be at Jolly's, a local favorite offering a fusion of Filipino dishes. Your final adventure is a boat ride along the scenic Mabunao River. Drift along as the sun begins to set, casting long shadows and painting the sky with vibrant hues of orange and purple - a perfect farewell to this beautiful town. Conclude your stay by joining the locals in their evening prayer at the St. Peter's Church, an important spiritual anchor for this community.
