Engkanto Falls

With its multi-tiered cascades and natural allure, it’s easy to see how Engkanto Falls got its name. The falls, named after creatures of local folklore usually characterized as forest spirits or elves, are believed to live in natural dwellings in the environment.

This waterfall located in Barangay Bikal, Libmanan is one of the lesser explored attractions in Camarines Sur. Unlike more accessible spots that are usually crowded with day-trippers or have become overdeveloped, Engkanto Falls remains relatively untouched and pristine. It still has that air of mystery. Even if you don’t believe in the supernatural, it’s the kind of place where creatures from folklore could exist. Read More: http://www.traveling-up.com/trek-to-engkanto-falls-libmanan/

Bagolatao / Pebble Beach

I find the beach still and calm, as well as the town. There were only few people outside. It was quiet and serene, which what I had actually needed to de-stress.

The beach was okay. I took a swim but it was too shallow that I didn’t able to enjoy it so much. But the kids were able to have fun. They were too fond of the rocks and pebbles that some of them brought home a few. We spent the rest of our day having chitchats over chips and beers. Although I felt short to enjoy the beach, it was the time and bonding moments with my family and relatives that I had really appreciated in our trip to Bagolatao town.

The Bicol Shell Museum opened last April 2014. The two-story building across the street from the resort houses a pretty wide collection of shells from tiny cowrie shells used in playing sungka to large conch shells – the kind that when you put up against your ear, you can hear the sound of the waves. The Bicol Shell Museum is open to visits from Science teachers, researchers, students and guests. It you’re already in the area, you might as well check it out.

This hidden lagoon has a pristine beauty since its protected by a natural barrier and the Malarad Island has been preserved for the tourist industry. It’s one of the destinations that are often included in tours of the attractions in Caramoan. The calm water combined with the huge limestone boulders that surrounded make the lagoon a great venue for photo shoots.

The peaceful waters of this lagoon hides a great dive site. The salty water feeds a thriving coral reef that supports a number of marine life for divers and snorkelers to enjoy. One will observe a vast coral garden with colorful fish and other types of sea creatures. Read More: http://boyetstour.blogspot.com/2012/12/tayak-lagoon-caramoan.html#.WVq6JOmQxaQ
