🌴Considered as the ‘Lost horizon of the south’, Camotes refers to a group of islands in the Camotes sea, triangulated by the islands of Cebu, Bohol and Leyte.
🌴 It is home to the municipalities of San Francisco in Pacijan island, Poro and Tudela in Poro island and Pilar in Ponson island.
🌴 The highest point is Altavista, 388 metres (1,273 ft) above sea level, on Poro.
🌴 Lake Danao in Pacijan island, which at 650 hectares (1,600 acres) is the largest freshwater lake in Cebu province.
🌴Porohanon or Camotes Visayan is spoken in the town of Poro only, and is one of the most endangered languages in the Visayas. Porohanon is distinguished by the way the locals substitute the /y/ sound for /z/. Example: maayong buntag (good morning) in Cebuano would be changed to maazong buntag in Porohanon
🌴Camotes is blessed with many natural attractions from caves, waterfalls, a lake and a scenic mangrove forest.
🌴 Compared to their counterparts in the mainland and even those in Bantayan island, the towns of Camotes are the least visited and the most underrated.
🌴Time to explore Camotes after the coronavirus because you deserve a vacation!
