Planning to travel to the south of Cebu? Then stop by at the place where waterfalls, mountains, and seas collide – Ginatilan, Cebu!
Let this list guide you on what you can do in Ginatilan:
Explore the baroque architecture of St. Gregory: The Great Parish Church
This 195-year old church is built using coral stones and is one of the old heritage sites of the Queen City of the south. It is a symbol of the steadfast faith of the Ginatilan residents. As a way to celebrate their history and faith, the town will be holding a fiesta called the “Hinatdan Festival” which is usually held a week after the Holy Week of each year.
Take a leap at the Inambakan Falls
With its 100-foot height, this waterfall is second to the Kawasan Falls in Badian, Cebu. Inambakan Falls has turquoise blue waters which rushes to a natural pool at the bottom. There are 4 levels of the waterfall that you can enjoy. Nonetheless, always be sure to have a local guide with you or a professional for a safer and fun experience.
Snack on Ginatilan’s delicacy: Sinakol & Palagsing
Wrapped and smoked in fresh banana leaves, “sinakol” is a delicious mixture of coconut milk, corn drits, natok, and other local ingredients that makes it a go-to snack for the Ginatilan folks. Aside from that, there’s also the “palagsing” which is a moist and chewy dessert similar to suman.
Reconnect with nature at Ka Eling’s Beach House
Ginatilan also has beautiful beaches, although not entirely a white sand beach, its seascape and views are worth the trip. The waters are also crystal clear, especially at Ka-Eling’s Beach House where Instagram-worthy photos can be taken when the sun sets. And the best part is that the resort is owned and managed by a family, so each member of the staff is extremely accommodating. Their rates are also reasonable, especially when you go with your barkada of 5 where you will only get to spend around Php 300.00 each for a night.
