Bugang River stretches 6 kilometers from its source and empties into the vast Sulu Sea.

At times, we needed to walk on rickety bamboo bridges that span across some of the several streams that crisscross Bugang River.

The water is so clear that we can actually see individual rocks and water lilies under the surface! Bugang River is considered to be the cleanest inland body of water in the country, and it has official awards to prove that title.
