Alicia Panoramic View Sunrise Trek

Hidden in the eastern highlands of Bohol, Alicia Panoramic Park (APP) is one of the province’s most underrated natural treasures. Tucked within the picturesque Binabaje Hills of the quiet town of Alicia, this eco-tourism gem offers a truly cinematic landscape—rolling ridgelines of green, uninterrupted horizons, and golden sunrises that blanket the hills in warm light.

Unlike the more famous tourist spots in Bohol, APP remains peaceful and uncrowded, allowing visitors to immerse fully in its raw, untouched beauty. The hills stretch out like soft green waves, offering 360-degree views that rival even the most iconic landscapes in the Philippines. From sunrise treks to leisurely walks, the terrain is best explored in the early hours when the mist still clings to the slopes and the air is crisp and fresh.

This destination is a favorite among hikers, photographers, and nature lovers seeking a more off-the-beaten-path experience. With well-maintained trails and the guidance of local eco-guides, it’s also a community-supported initiative that helps preserve the environment and provide sustainable income for the locals.

Whether you’re an adventurer, a couple looking for a quiet escape, or a family in search of natural beauty, Alicia Panoramic Park offers a soul-stirring connection with nature—calm, breathtaking, and unforgettable.

Tucked in the same lush landscape as Alicia Panoramic Park lies the Cadapdapan Rice Terraces, a cascading masterpiece of terraced farmland etched into the mountainside. These terraces, while less known than those in Northern Luzon, are just as captivating—offering a glimpse into Bohol’s rich agricultural heritage.

Visitors can take a short ride after their morning hike to reach this serene location. From a viewing point or local footpath, you’ll see layers of bright green rice paddies that form a natural amphitheater. It’s a peaceful, scenic stop perfect for photos or quiet reflection.

During the right season (especially just before harvest), the terraces glow in gold and green hues, adding even more beauty to your countryside escape.

Nestled deep within the lush highlands of Candijay, in the eastern part of Bohol, Can-umantad Falls stands as the tallest waterfall in the province, plunging from an estimated height of 60 feet. Surrounded by verdant jungle, terraced hills, and hidden springs, this majestic cascade is a refreshing escape from the busier beach towns and a favorite among nature lovers, adventure seekers, and photographers.

The waterfall is a reward at the end of a short but scenic trek through Cadapdapan’s rice terraces, where the landscape begins to reveal its raw and dramatic charm. The sound of gushing water grows louder as you approach, and soon you’re met with the sight of a wide, powerful stream tumbling into a turquoise basin—perfect for swimming or just cooling your feet.

The area surrounding the falls is serene and shaded by thick foliage, making it an ideal spot for a picnic or a mid-hike rest. There are man-made steps and viewing decks built to make the trek more accessible, yet the natural character of the place remains intact.

Whether you’re chasing waterfalls or simply looking for a peaceful place to reconnect with nature, Can-umantad Falls offers an unforgettable experience that captures the wild beauty of Bohol’s countryside.
