Last July, my friends and I had a surprise mountain trek at Lugsangan Peak in Mantalongon, Dalaguete, Cebu. Our original plan was to go to Osmeña Peak, which is Cebu’s highest elevation. But, my sister told us about another peak she claimed to be better than Osmeña Peak – Lugsangan (or previously known as Casino) peak. From up here, you’re supposed to get a view of Cebu’s own version of “Chocolate Hills”. What she didn’t tell us was that the trek would be a long one!

We were in for a surprise when we saw how far we had to walk/climb to get to the peak (see 2nd photo in the slideshow). We didn’t see this coming. You see, to get to Osmeña peak, you only had to walk 10 minutes. This was a good 30-40 minutes one way, and there’s a rock-climbing part, too!

When we got to the top though, it was all worth it. The view was amazing! Coupled with the cold weather, and the fun company, it was definitely one for the books! I’m so glad I brought my mirrorless camera with me – although I left my spare batteries in the car! I still managed to get some good photos before my camera died on me.

Without further ado, presenting the photos of our Lugsangan Peak adventure! Enjoy! 🙂
