Amazing Aloguinsan: Hermit's Cove, A Hidden Beauty


Since many of my friends were asking me about my trip in Aloguinsan, I'm gonna post it here. Including the expenses, the places we went to, how to get there and some "cowboy" tips to make most out of your trip without spending a lot. Fyi, we were able to enjoy the wonders of Aloguinsan: the Hermit's Cove and Bojo River for Php 1,000.00 per head. Amazing, right?☺ Before we went there, I did a research about the place and asked some of my friends who already went there for an itinerary and instructions on how to get there. 

Located in the western part of the Cebu, Aloguinsan is known for its alluring coastlines but are not usually overwhelmed with tourists unlike the known tourist spots here in our province. According to Wikipidea, Aloguinsan is a small town and fourth income class municipality in the province of Cebu, Philippines. By road it is 59 kilometres (37 mi) south-west of Cebu City. 



HOW TO GET THERE:
From South Bus Terminal ride a bus to Pinamungajan. The fare is Php 80.00-Php 100.00 (If you're a student or a senior citizen, make sure to bring your I.D with you so that you can avail the discount). You should go there earlier than 7:00 a.m because the bus to Pinamungajan usually board at 7 or 7:30 a.m. And btw, tell the bus driver or the driver's aide that you're heading to Hermit's Cove and they will drop you off at Pinamungajan Public Market.

From Pinamungajan  Public Market ride a habal-habal to Hermit's Cove. We paid Php 250.00 each for the habal-habal ride since he took us to Hermit's Cove to Bojo River then to Bus Station.


Stairway to heaven ♥ After 3 hours of bus ride and 25 minutes of habal habal ride, this is the view that will greet you. Ahhh heaven ♥

If you're not familiar with the place, you wouldn't believe that you're on your way to the beach because of its rocky and mountainous way.  We were just riding a habal-habal on our way to Hermit's Cove and we thought the habal-habal driver will bring us somewhere. Lol






We did not rent a cottage because we wont be using it anyway. We were planning to just put our things on the sand but a store owner offered us a table and she said it was for free, so we grabbed the opportunity because why not? And we gave her  Php 50.00 afterwards and we bought food in her sari-sari store☺

Happy Toes

We were having a hard time going in this area. But for the love of Instagram, go lng ng go.

Because we were in the place away from the beach goers and were too lazy to find a comfort room we just covered each other so that we can change our clothes.
