Uninhabited and mystical island

The uninhabited island of Lamanok in Anda, Bohol – a two-hour drive from Tagbilaran City – consists of limestone outcrops with fascinating cultural and archaeological sites. Evoking an eerie atmosphere, the mystical island is cloaked in tangled foliage and obscured by thick mangroves that stretch back to the mainland.For an island its size, Lamanok Island surprisingly brims with so much history and folklore. Archaeological artifacts discovered here reveal a thriving ancient civilization residing in this region of Bohol, since the Stone Age. And centuries-old folklore and customs linked to the island color its grim reputation. While visiting Lamanok, visitors are asked to respect the sacred site by keeping voices low and avoid horseplay. #summervacation #urbanexplorer #beachvacation #hikingtrails
