Sierra Madre Mountain Ranges - Journey to Casiguran

Currently, the roads that link Casiguran to the rest of the towns in the province closely follow and capture the magnificence of Sierra Madre mountain ranges. The mist-covered jungles are home of the extravagantly fertile and primitive flora. Aerial plants and ferns are hanging overhead and mosses covering the enormous tree trunks seem to be like green velvet. An emerald green glow fills the jungle as sunlight pass through these verdant mountains. The landscape is dominated by peak higher than thousand meters, which today remain unexplored. Anyone can feel insignificant and humble in those imposing and enormous surrounding. However, the journey is not for the fainthearted traveler as the roads winds through these high mountains.

Nature's INFINITY POOL - Dalugan Bay

At Dalugan Bay, tidal pools and limestone cliffs are formed due to the strong waves of the Pacific Ocean. These reefs along the coast make swimming not quite possible, but they create a strong rush of waves that gives the scene a touch of excitement. These waves fill the depressions with sea water, thus forming an astonishing nature’s infinity pool! These natural pools along the beach allow the locals to swim in relative safety from the crashing waves. The adventurous can also climb these limestone cliffs and enjoy the surreal experience of viewing the vast ocean and verdant mountains.

Dalugan Bay is a visual feast for nature’s lover and outdoor enthusiast!

Snorkeling and Diving

Casiguran has an abundance of shallow coral reefs, where a snorkeler can enjoy the myriad forms of coral and undersea life. The beauties of the reef that stretch throughout the lengthy coastline are still waiting to be discovered.

One can also investigate the coral reef off-shore of Casiguran and Dilasag, where many potential diving spots still lie barely explored. Besides the coral gardens, which are mostly in pristine condition, the quality of the corals improves as you get deeper. As snorkeling & diving here is not usual, the fish are curious of divers and will approach them.
