Caramoan: Let's Go Around The Town

Town Proper

The 15-minute away town from Guijalo Port can be reached via tricycle or "habal-habal. This famous mode of transportation will give you an easy view of the so-called "somnolent" town. Along the way are view of mountains, rice fields, plains with flock of birds. At town's center, cafeterias, shops, lodges, and home stay are lined up.

Across this tricycle is an ATM. Yes, not just one but two machines! If you don't have enough cash, prepare to be charged P99 per transaction :D

St. Michael Parish: 18th Century Church

After two centuries, from nipa, bamboo and wood, this church was constructed out of adobe, local stone and clay materials. The Caramoans were obliged to render free labor during its construction under the direction of well-known artisans and masons.  The building will stand in spite of the ravages of time and natural calamities.

This church, together with all houses in the poblacion and adjoining barrios were burned during the last Japanese-American war. Again, the people voluntarily worked together to make proper repair and improvement to restore and preserve the historic edifice.

Lourdes Grotto: One of the historical, religious and structural landmarks along the 10-km route from Guigalo Port to Bikal Port.

This concrete statue of Our Lady of Peace, is the first, the biggest, the tallest religious image ever built in the province of CamSur.

Spotted a white oak tree that reminds me of the trending "Vampire Diaries".

One of the few souvenir shops in town. There are no souvenir items in Naga, so grab whatever item that catches your eye like Caramoan shirts and pay of course!

The Port of Bikal is 10-km away from Guijalo on the side of the Caramoan Peninsula. It is only 15 to 20 minutes by jeep or trimobile from Guijalo Port and serves as the access or entry point to some islands and barangays on the northern corridor of the Peninsula.

....and there you go, let all your senses explore the captivating place!
