Camiguin Island's long isolation enabled a number of unique plant and animal species to survive on the island, knowing that there are at least 54 species of birds and 24 species of mammals that live on the Island and some of
these animals are found nowhere else on earth, making it one of the few true eco-tourism destinations left in the region.
Camiguin Island is a unique combination of unspoiled beauty and old world charm. Often described as the most beautiful island in the Philippines,
Camiguin is a place of contrast. Rugged, magestic volcanic mountains
rise sharply into the clouds, while below, gentle turquoise seas lap soft white sands. Waterfalls thunder down into pristine pools surrounded by wild ferns and orchids. The island has a beautiful lagoon, refreshing cold springs, invigorating hot springs, and soothing, sparkling soda water springs.
Surely, the Island beckons one and all to come, and come again, to
Camiguin.
