Excited to explore this emerging destination, my friends Glenn, Jovel, and I decided on a spontaneous hiking adventure one Saturday afternoon. Boarding a bus from Tagbilaran City bound for Alicia, we were on a smooth and leisurely three-hour journey filled with scenic views that effortlessly dispelled any sense of boredom or distance.
Upon arrival in Alicia, we indulged in a delightful lunch at a local eatery called “carenderia” before marveling at the exquisite architectural beauty of a nearby church. Energized and eager to begin our ascent, we hopped on a tricycle and journeyed for approximately 20 minutes to reach the starting point of our adventure.
