Tropical Fruit Lanzones of Philippines /
Camiguin Title: "Tropical Fruit Lanzones of Philippines
/ Camiguin" All of the volcanoes are dormant while Mt.
Volcan is already extinct. The last recorded eruption on the island was in 1951 from Mt
Hibok-Hibok. For vacationers fortunate enough to be in
Camiguin on the third week of October, this is the time the Lanzones Festival is held.
Apart from getting to gorge themselves on loads of the fruit, the four-day festival
promises much entertainment and spectacle. The Dawit-Dawit Ta Buahan is held among the
ruins of the old Katadman Spanish settlement in Barangay Bonbon at dusk and is timed to
coincide with the setting of the sun. The settlement was a flourishing one until an
eruption of Mt. Volcan in 1871 sank a great part of the town of Katadman, leaving only the
ruins of a church, its bell tower and a convent. Camiguin is also one of the places where
tourists may see fields full of sparkling fireflies at night. Due to the lush foliage and
pollution free air, Camiguin is one of the few remaining places where the wonder of
fireflies twinkling like millions of christmas lights may still be enjoyed. BEFORE YOU LEAVE For visitors staying in the Northern
part of the island, it is well worth the effort to wake up at 4:30 am to take a boat ride
to a snowy white sand bar called White Island. Watching the sun rise over Camiguin from
the sand bar is simply breath taking. Bring your cameras along as White Island provides
the most magnificent view. Just take care you leave before late afternoon as the sand bar
usually sinks with the high tide. After a cold dip in White Island, visitors can opt to head to the Ardent Springs Resort, situated at the base of Mt. Hibok-Hibok. Ardent Springs offers a flowing pool of hot mineral water (about 40 degrees celsius) which is considered by many to be therapeutic. They also have cold springs for visitors who prefer cool water in the temperate climate. Oh yeah, and dont forget to bring back some of those delicious lanzones!
