LaSwitan | Cortes, Surigao Del Sur

-
Just when we thought that Surigao is just made up of beautiful beaches, caves and falls.. We found something extraordinary.

Our driver during the Sohoton Trip told us that we could take a look at a place called LaSwitan. To my curiosity, I took a look at it on YouTube and found this.

The waves of the Pacific Ocean slaps the large rocks and the water is caught inside like a basin and forms a pool. Amazing, isn't it?

So from Hayanggabon Port, we had lunch and at around 2 PM we took the journey to Cortes. From Cortes, we rode a muddy and rocky 7 km road to LaSwitan. Unfortunately, we weren't able to reach it in High tide. So we didn't witness what can be seen in the video. :( So we took photos and climbed the rocks instead. By the way, what we did was actually not allowed. We didn't know it was illegal until we were done with it. Hehehe. It was scary though. The rocks are very sharp and slippery, if you fall on the other side, there's  a chance you might not get out alive and worse, you're body will be disintegrated. Sorry for the harsh description. But the view is absolutely AMAZING! :)

If you plan to get here, be sure it's during high tide. And the resort is only open from 7:00 AM to 5:00 PM. 









Location: Cortes, Surigao del Sur, Philippines

    i just visited Laswitan Lagoon yesterday but have not witnessed how the waves slapped the rocks because it was low tide. but i was amazed how the rocks were miraculously formed. It is indeed God's wonderful creation!

      I don't think there's a specific time to get there. It would be better to check for times of high tide. They also said it would be better to get there during not-so-good weather for bigger tides :)

BuDa Tour 2018

Are you looking for a place away from the busy hustle and bustle of the Davao City? Are you looking for a place to cool down and chill? Thinking about going to Baguio City? Look no further! Davao City's own version of Baguio is just an hour away from the heart of Davao City. What's in there to explore? Plenty actually. And here are just a few of the spots you can visit in Davao City's version of Baguio. We took the tour on a holiday, during the Lunar New Year last February 16. We took of from UM Matina Campus at around 3:30 AM. We weren't really sure of our itinerary since our company just aims to explore BuDa.  We reached our first stop at around 4:30 AM. We were there to wait for sunrise. There's this sea of clouds which can be seen in the place. Something we don't see everyday, right? The name of the resort is Sonnenberg Mountain View (not sure though, but I'm sure of the Sonnenberg). It has been featured in local and national TV shows. It is said
