#ulog (Day 1): "Trekking Sirao Peak", Memorable Adventure with Cousin

May 2018 · 6 min read

Hello Everyone! I have been so busy for my study inorder to finish my 4th year in College. I have been out for adventure month already. I just really missed the fun, happiness, adventure and special moment with my cousins. Since summer season is heating up our time, I didn't bother anymore to get back to our adventure trip with my cousins. I was so happy that I have already get out from the hectic life of my study, yet it's time for me to seek for the wild happiness. Somehow, I wouldn't regret after the school will start again.

I wasn't failed in mesmerizing the summer season together with them. I really enjoyed very very much as we endure our hiking trip. To be exact, we have been already here for 3 months ago and truly this is our second time to visit the Trekking Sirao Peak of Cebu City. Going back to my first post about this place it's quite different compared to that one because on that trip we hiked the trailing mountain of Mt. Kan-irag and its just a distance away from Sirao Peak. In this adventure we solely have ourselve in the beautiful and panaromic place of Sirao.


Let us know first what is Sirao Peak


Sirao is just near the City of Cebu, a 21.5 kilometer away from the Central Highway. Sirao is known for its beautiful scenery and attractive variety of garden flowers. Colorful flowers with different kinds can be found here. It is the center of tourist attraction and one of the famous and go to places of Cebu. Sirao is not just abundant in flower but also owns a panaromic and trekking mountain site. People went back always in this place because it has a friendly camping site wherein everybody would really enjoy.

Hearing those words which defines the awesome place of Sirao really caught my way to be happy and to become delectable.


Hiking Adventure..✈️


Our way to Sirao Peak held on May 01, 2018, definitely a Labor Day, makes my day delightful. The President of our troupe decided to have ourselves back again to this mountain because we were not able to explore everything yet during our first visit. She said that we have only been to the mountain sides of the place and we haven't see yet the beautiful flowers located at Sirao, also the awesome part of the place.

Beautiful Sunrise

The sun was already rising, we already arrived at the front way of the place at exactly 6:35 a.m. I immediately took the beautiful feature of the rising sun that caught my attention. The clouds were so thin and its far away to pour raindrops. We already expected the unstoppable heat of the sun so we prepared our suit and cap as a protection of the heat it will produced. We then have our way to the beautiful garden place of Sirao.

Happy Walking

For almost 1 and a half hour of hiking we finally arrived at the beautiful garden place of Sirao. I was amazed seeing the beautiful and colorful flowers of the place. This was just my first time to see a wide area full of lovely flowers. I decided to walk through the garden and took some pictures of the flowers.

Green Garden

I was able to took this one because I was so amazed for its neat and awesome scenery.

After the 1 hour of stay in the garden place, we then continue to walk through the famous waterfalls of Sirao. It is 3.2 kilometers away from our place. So without any frustration we started to hiked. I felt so excited because for the second time of my life I could see again waterfalls in the City.

While we were walking through our destined place, we happened to meet the green and panaromic view of a farm. I was so astound after seeing the wide farm owned by a wealthy person in the place. I didn't waste the oppurtunity to took a picture for the stunning farm. The place was so peaceful and full of small green plants.


Carabao in the farm

I saw this carabao eating grass in the farm. I want to try to rode on its back but I wasn't able to do it because the caretaker told me that it's not okay, the carabao might run. I don't know why and what he mean but I just obeyed what he said.

Meters away from the falls we encountered a little forest full of trees. I thought it would be so hard again for us to find the way going through the falls but in God's grace we were able to seek the way out on the forest.

We already saw a water flowing from the mountain and I guess we are already near to the falls. The way was so rocky and bumpy. It was very dangerous for the travelers who weren't wearing the proper shoes for hiking due to its slippery structure. We took each steps carefully to avoid accident.

Finally, after 2 hours of walk we already reached the waterfalls. It was not that high compared to other falls but it has clear water merely for bathing. Without a glimpse I then took a bath with its cold and refreshingly flowing water. Some of my cousin were taking pictures in the place to keep a memory from it. We stayed their for almost 4 hours becuase we just have our meal and sharing moments in the place. As what I've knew we will just spending here for one day unlike the other trip we have. So we didn't waste every second to enjoy and make a moment out of the place.

After the four hours of happiness we then have our way back so that we will not be caught by the night. We started to packed our things already and immeditely walk back to the way home. I cam see the tiredness we felt during the adventure. But the moments and hapoiness wasn't covered up even it was just a quite moment for us. After we get out from the waterfalls. We stayed first for a moment at the Peak of the mountain wherein I can fully see the cityscape collaborated with beautiful features.
