Cebu has been my home for more than 3 years now because of my job. One can expect that I’ve been to most of the tourist and adventure spots of this lovely island – most, but not all yet. However, it’s on my plans to explore even the smallest attractions and blog about them so that other travelers wouldn’t be limited to the city tour. Yes, there's more to Cebu than Magellan's Cross, Lapu-Lapu Shrine and Taoist Temple. Beyond Cebu City are adventures worth the trip and they await us! Let me start with a one-day adventure of exploring Barili and Carcar City.
Mantayupan Falls
Barili derived its name from a local grass called "balili". It is located 61 kilometers southwest of Cebu City, more or less an hour and 30 minutes travel. Barili’s famous attraction is Mantayupan Falls located close to the end of Carcar-Barili coming from the national highway. Since I'm living in this province, I drove a car going to the destination. For those who do not have their own car, you can hire a van for more or less 3,000php or for cheaper option, ride a bus from the city to Barili at South Terminal. Tricycles and habal-habal are available at the main road going to the falls.
