From pristine white beaches, to exotic species and the local's wisdom, this blog will unravel the unique mysteries of Philippine paradise incomparable elsewhere. This will feature testimonies about our explorations and travels including tips on how to get there.

This is my own personal tribute and gratitude of interacting with nature's sheer beauty and in meeting the local inhabitants of the place. It is worth mentioning that each one of us should have the responsibility of preserving the natural state of these sanctuaries that continue to hold us spellbound.

Exploring Caramoan. My first taste of its cuisine

We took lunch at 4pm feasting on “nilasing na hipon”. That was our first taste of the sumptuous seafood of the Peninsula. The shrimp is half my plate as big cooked by the hostel’s caretaker whom we fondly called “Ate”. Ate has been with the hostel for a good number of years who treated us like a family of her own and takes care of all our needs. We started exploring Caramoan late afternoon. The town is a closely-knit community where each one seems to know each other. Caramoan has 49 barangays with a total of 7, 666 households. Its physical composition is typical of a rural town isolated by sea. There are only two eateries operating in the town and market site is neatly packed on the street where shops cater only to the basic needs of the people. Electricity is available. Shops and stores close at 5pm, so we hardly see anybody going around the town when night falls.
