Suroy-Suroy Sugbo goes to Camotes

Camotes Island off the northeastern part of Cebu province will take center stage today in the tourism caravan Suroy-Suroy sa Sugbo.

Camotes Islands is about two hours from Cebu City by motorboat and is known for its pristine waters and white-sand beaches.

About 200 local and foreign guests led by Cebu Gov. Gwendolyn Garcia will set off for Poro town in Camotes Island at 7 a.m. in Cebu City’s Pier 1.

The two-day countryside tour called “Enchanting Camotes” will highlight well-known and lesser-known attractions.

There’s Bukilat Cave in Tudela town, Buho Rock resort in Poro, Lake Danao in San Francisco, Mangodlong Resort and the bee farm in Pilar town.

Visitors will take a walking tour around the island to see ancestral houses and other heritage spots.

The Suroy-Suroy started in 2004 as a project of the Cebu Chamber of Commerce and Industry, and was developed further by the Capitol as regular tours to spotlight the beauty of the countryside and outlying islands, and hospitality of Cebuanos.
