Suhot Springs is located in Dumalag, Capiz. The cool waters of Mt. Pangin-raon flow down to a natural pool. There’s also a series of caves there, the Suhot Caves, where most areas of the caves there remain unexplored.
Liktin is a Hiligaynon word which means “to jump.” And there’s quite a lot of jumping you need to do in order to reach Liktninon Falls in President Roxas, Capiz. The trek is relatively short for the locals but it might take an hour or so for visitors. The terrain is steep; there are slippery rocks and huge boulders getting in your way. You’ll get to enjoy dipping in the soothing cold waters of the pool after climbing all the way there.
Swim at Baybay beach or dine at the shore. There are tons of seafood grill houses lined up over there and you can take your pick on which seafood delicacy to feast. They’re cheaper and you’re assured it’s all fresh. If it’s available, try the diwal (angel wing clams), which is available only in Capiz.
