Cebu Adventure

Exploring and dining in Cebu City, Philippines is both fun and exciting...




First Stop - The Tourist Spots

Magellan's Cross
     - shrine of the wooden cross brought by Magellan from Spain to introduce Christianity to the Philippines (1521 AD)




Fort San Pedro


Basilica Minor del Santo Nino





Cebu Cathedral



Taoist Temple



Lapu-Lapu Monument (Mactan Shrine)
     - national hero who defeated Magellan to prevent him from conquering the Philippines




Next Stop - The Sky Adventure Experience

The tallest hotel tower in the Philippines - Crown Regency Hotel and Tower offers spectacular thrill rides.



Edge Coaster Ride - a two-seater coaster hanging at the edge of the tower's 38th level that will tilt 45 degrees as it move sideways. Indeed a heart-pounding experience while enjoying the top view of the splendid city.




Sky Walk Extreme - an exciting walk around the outer rim of the tower's 37th level with no handrails. No worries as harness, jumpsuits and guides were provided for safety measures.



Certifications were given to those bold enough to complete the ride.



*For those on a tight budget and for practical reasons, avail of their Asian and international lunch/dinner buffet which includes one free ride.


Last Stop - The Dining Galore

Try some Cebu lechon . Tastes good even without sauce


Jo's  Chicken Inato



Sutukil - buy fresh seafoods from local stalls and they'll cook it for you - in three ways:

     su - sugba or grilled
     tu - tula or soup
     kil - kilaw or raw salad





Enjoy the meal with fresh buko (coconut) juice.
A man, playing a harp, might serenade you for a small fee.
