The Unexpected Beauty: Discovering Sorsogon
Sorsogon province lies in the Bicol Region of the Philippines and Luzon island’s southernmost province. Sorsogon as a tourist destination is not as famous as the other neighboring Luzon tourist spots and provinces. However, people who explore it are amazed by its gorgeous attractions, natural sceneries, and laidback vibe.
Sorsogon has so much to offer, from the great Sorsogon tourist spots to its heart-wrenching and pleasant Sorsoganons. And if you are looking for a place to visit, here are some of the best tourist spots in Sorsogon.
Bulusan Volcano Natural Park
Bulusan Volcano Natural Park is a treasured natural wonder and one of the most recognized Bicol tourist spots. This protected natural park covers rainforests, grassland, hot springs gardens, and farmland. The park is also home to the famous Bulusan Volcano, a popular trekking destination in Luzon.
Ogod River
Ogod River is one of the natural attractions in Donsol, Sorsogon. Tourists make their way to Ogod for a special type of river cruising. This cruising happens at night so passengers can view hundreds of magical fireflies light up the dark skies.
This firefly watching tour consists of riding on a small boat that will sail through the Donsol River and its main artery, the Ogod River. These scenic rivers are surrounded by forests and mangroves. The Donsol firefly tour comes with an expert guide who will give you insights into the fireflies and surroundings.
Paguriran Island and Lagoon
Paguriran Island and Lagoon is one of the natural wonders of Sorsogon. Travel guides best describe it as a lagoon in the middle of the ocean. Strictly speaking, Paguriran is not an island but more like a large rocky formation out in the sea. Although water surrounds the area, Paguriran is within walking distance from a sandy shore. You can walk to it during low tide or even high tide when the water level is usually waist-high.
Botong Twin Falls
Botong Twin Falls is situated in Osiao, Bacon District of Sorsogon City. The falls are one of the top eco-tourism spots in the city area. The site is considered a natural wonder as it features two waterfalls standing close to each other but they give out two different watercolors.
The first waterfall has green-colored water while the other one reflects blue. This phenomenon is the reason why the Botong Twin Falls are fondly called Blue and Green Falls.
So, you see, Sorsogon also offers pristine beaches, lush scenery, and natural attractios like any other provinces in the Philippines.
