Ormoc, Leyte is a small place but a very nice place and friendly people. I went there because my friend invited me for her daughter's christening. I went there unplanned and I don't have time to browse about their tourist attractions. I even lost them but I met a kid and told me where to go and what are the good places in Ormoc. There is no traffic there and I love their food also. It is a great place to relax if you want to have a comfortable place. The plaza is so nice and enjoyable at night because of many people strolling there every night, there are barbecues and good restaurants in their plaza. Amazing!#staycation

Alto Peak, also known as Mt. Aminduen, is the highest peak in Eastern Visayas, standing at 1,332 meters above sea level. Located in Ormoc, Leyte, this mountain is known for its steep trails, dense forests, and breathtaking summit views. Climbing it is a challenging yet rewarding experience, one that pushes hikers to their limits but rewards them with a sense of accomplishment and stunning scenery. The journey began at Lake Danao National Park, the usual jump-off point for Alto Peak. The serene lake, surrounded by lush greenery, was a calm contrast to the challenging trail ahead. The first section of the climb was relatively easy, passing through rolling terrain with thick vegetation. As we gained elevation, the trail gradually became steeper, and the forest grew denser. The real challenge began at the final stretch—an almost vertical ascent requiring ropes and careful footing. The muddy and slippery trail made every step a test of balance and endurance. Despite the difficulty, the cool mountain air and the sound of birds and rustling leaves provided moments of serenity amid the struggle. After hours of climbing, we finally reached the summit. The view was nothing short of spectacular—rolling mountains, deep valleys, and the distant coastline of Leyte and Samar. The wind was strong, and the temperature was noticeably cooler, a refreshing change after the grueling ascent. Standing on the peak, looking down at the vast landscape below, I felt a mix of exhaustion and exhilaration. Climbing Alto Peak was one of the most physically demanding hikes I’ve done, but it was also one of the most fulfilling. The challenge, the stunning scenery, and the sense of achievement made every difficult step worth it. It’s a mountain that demands respect but rewards those who take on the challenge with unforgettable memories.

This is a large lake surrounded by silence, spreading out in the northern part of Pacijan Island in the Camotes Islands. After about 30 minutes by tricycle or rental motorbike from Consuelo Port, you will see the beautiful lake before your eyes as you travel along a lush mountain road. Along the way, you may encounter animals such as cows and goats, and you can enjoy the idyllic Philippine scenery. On the lake, you can go on a boat or kayak across the calm waters, or if you're looking for a thrill, try the zip line that glides over the lake. You can spend a relaxing time feeling the pleasant breeze in the great outdoors. There are also local restaurants around the lake, so you can take a break and enjoy Filipino cuisine after a day of fun. It's a healing spot that will help you forget the hustle and bustle of the city. #FreeHotelStay #Camotes #CebuIsland #Philippines

#artmuseum Visiting Ormoc Museum in the Philippines was an enriching experience, providing a glimpse into the region’s rich history, culture, and heritage. The museum also has a section focused on the local culture and crafts. Traditional clothing, weaving displays, and musical instruments offer a sense of the vibrant cultural heritage of the region. It was a treat to see the craftsmanship up close, and it gave me a deeper appreciation for the unique artistry of Leyte’s communities. The museum features exhibits that showcase Ormoc’s history, including artifacts from its pre-colonial and Spanish colonial periods. It was fascinating to see traditional tools, pottery, and textiles that provide insight into the daily lives of early inhabitants. Historical documents and photos gave context to Ormoc’s role in the Philippines’ past, especially during pivotal events like World War II. Ormoc Museum may be small, but it’s a gem for anyone wanting to learn about the city’s history and culture. It offers a meaningful look into Ormoc’s past, celebrates its resilience, and preserves its heritage. I’d recommend it for history buffs and those interested in understanding the spirit of Ormoc.

I booked our hotel at Fans hotel using trip.com and the places we wanted to visit is very near. I will go back again and stay at fans hotel

Fans hotel is near the establishment and the only problem we counter is that the reception forgot to get our payment since the CC payment is not successful.
