The beautiful places and people of Camotes Islands
|
|
Come to a place free of deadlines, hectic
schedules and rush hour traffic. Situated at northeast part of Cebu
City, The Camotes Islands is composed of four islands: Pacijan, Poro,
Ponson and Tulang.
Visitors can reach the Camotes via a three-hour
ferryboat ride from the wharf of Cebu City. The friendly faces of
the town folks regularly greet tourists docking at the port of
Tulang. The available transportation means in the islands are
jeepneys, private vans and motorbikes locally known as habal-habal.
