Places to visited:

  1. Mag-aso Falls
  2. Samantha, the Burmese Python
  3. Punta Cruz Watchtower
  4. Abatan River Tourism Complex
Mag-aso Falls Tour takes about 4-5 hours with guests to be picked up either from Panglao or Tagbilaran City Area.

Mag-aso Falls is located in Antequera, about 40 minutes from Tagbilaran City. The falls got its name from "aso", a local term for smoke; with "mag-aso" meaning smoking which could be interpreted to mean the fog in the falls during morning. The locals claim the falls to be enchanted or "tiawan", where some mystical beings dwell, and locals would usually utter the words "tabi... tabi..." when visiting the falls to ask permission or warn the supposedly majestic inhabitants of the place.

Mag-aso Falls features a twin-waterfalls, surrounded by green vegetation. It's water comes from higher mountains above it. Swimming at the foot of the falls is as tempting as ever; however, not recommended during rainy days due to possibilities of flash floods.

Punta Cruz Watchtower is located in Maribojoc, Bohol and about 25 minutes from Mag-aso Falls. The watchtower is made mostly of stone and has a triangular base. It serves as an outpost used in ooking out for incoming Muslim marauders and invading pirates. 

The area surrounding the watchtower is a known picnic area aside from its historical importance. Local tourists flock the area for swimming and picnic activities. Crystal clear water and picturesque view of the neighboring province of Cebu and Siquijor offers a perfect place for relaxation and family getaway.

Samantha, a burmese python located in Maribojoc also is another attraction worth visiting. The python weighs about 300 kg. Taking pictures inside its cage is an experience you should try. Several other animals can also be found in Samantha's place, adding attraction to the tourists. Having your picture taken while holding a snake is another experience you should try there also.
