CATMON AND THE HIDDEN TREASURE OF BEAUTY

We TRAVEL!

It was then a bright Saturday morning when we were heading to Municipality of Catmon located in the Northern part of Cebu. We managed to book a trip a week a head, since they don't accept visitors/cutomers without booking first that is, to control the number of people and to maintain the solemnity of the area. The hidden paradise is called "ISOY Hot Spring", which was named after its owner. It was then a tiring day for us, for we planned to go there after our graveyard shift. As we arrived in our place of destination, I was slightly impressed with the cleanliness that the CATMON people managed to maintain. We took some time to take pictures in some places and after that we went over to our accomodation in CATMON COOPERATIVE. It was a very affordable LODGING HOUSE with enough amenities for BACKPACKERS like us. After we took our brunch, we prepared ourselves for our real purpose, which was to discover the hidden treasure in CATMON. To get there, you have to ride a HABAL-HABAL (a term used by the locals for a single motorcycle that can actually accomodate atleast 3-4 passengers including the driver). It was a kilometers away from the center of CATMON and your patience is literally a must. You will enjoy the panoramic view of the place, the moutains were like sculptured with a big hands, the breath-taking highs and lows of the mountains embodied with the light from the sun is totally an epic one.
