Cebu City (Sirao Garden + Temple of Leah)
Hi there! 👋 I’m @benjtupas and welcome to another Travel PH82 Guide 🇵🇭 where I write DIY and budget-friendly guides for group and solo travelers on how to visit all 82 provinces of the Philippines!
For today’s guide, let’s virtually explore Cebu City. This was a side trip during my Bantayan visit.
I highly recommend visiting other areas of Cebu like Whale Shark Watching + Tumalog Falls in Oslob and Badian Canyoneering + Kawasan Falls. Use Klook promo code BENJ5OFF to get 5% OFF on all Klook activities. 😍
I've tried all of them before I started this guide. I'll revisit some time in the future to create guides. 🙏
