CEBU ITINERARY|EXPLORING CEBU AT ITS BEST FOR LESS THAN PHP3000
One of the greatest things about traveling is to spend less and travel more. So today, I am going to share with you my recent trip to Cebu.
My best travel friend Angel and myself will be traveling to Cebu for the second time! We wanted to explore and discover the best of Cebu as its best in the cheapest and affordable way. So I come up with an itinerary that I personally believe anybody would be able to agree. With this simple itinerary , everybody can get an understanding that Cebu is very extraordinary place in the country.
Our goal is to spend at least less than Php3000.00 . This amount excludes our plane ticket. I knew it was going to be a very challenging experience for us.

I strongly suggest you stay at the panagsama beach instead of whitebeach if you want an unforgettable night life then you should stay there. I was told there’s a backpackers lodge there for as low as P200 each. Panagsama is where all the dive shops and night life of Moal Boal is. There not much of a beach there just so you know.

Kawasan Falls is a popular getaway destination in the southern part of Cebu. You’ll have to cross 3 small bridges before reaching the falls.

Kawasan Falls Ligo time ( picture-taking and swimming)
1pm- Goodbye MoalBoal , bus ride Php 107 each

You will love the falls which is located inside the mountains of Badian. Just trek uphill for approximately 20 to 30 minutes depending on your energy to get to the very first waterfall. Get enchanted and be amazed with a peaceful river , abundant vegetation and a gentle flowing water .
If you want an extreme holiday vacation or looking for Cebu Island vacation packages , you can always add an ultimate Island hopping just like what I did last December with friends. Optional Malapascua Island and Bantayan Island.
