Fun Trek to the Top of Cebu!🇵🇭
#timetotravel
This is Osmena Peak in Cebu and it is one of the most famous trekking sites in Cebu as it is not that hard to trek which is prefect for beginners. From the jump off point to the view point it won't even take you an hour. Just go on your own pace. This is the reason why I said that this is a fun trekking because the trail isn't even that hard plus the scenic views are breathtaking too. Entrance Fee: 30 pesos per head which you have to pay at the hiker's center.
It is really worth it especially if you are going on a nice day and even better during sunrise or sunset! It was cloudy when were were there so I suggest to really check the weather report before hand. Enjoy!

What better way to spend the weekend than having a date with nature. Go hiking and take on a challenging climb up the mighty Osmeña Peak in Dalaguete, Cebu.
Appreciate the beauty of nature, bathe in the mighty sun for more doses of Vitamin D. There are guides to help you out in your adventure as you take the trail. It’s not just for climbing enthusiasts. Newbies like me can still take on this kind of activity and you’ll surely want to come back for more.
There are 4 other trails which you can also take. Not sure if this was the hardest but probably one of the best. I recommend this for a weekend getaway. Be sure to wear your best footwear as the trail can be slippery. You need to get a good grip on the ground.

Conquering the Highest MountainIn Cebu!
One of the best adventures to be had in the South Cebu region of the Philippines is at Osmea Peak, which is notable for being the highest point on Cebu Island.
The best time to visit this attraction because it is one of the most visited tourist destinations in Cebu is early in the morning for sunrise because you will avoid the throng.

Cebu's Highest Peak
Osmeña peak (aka O peak) is one of the famous tourist attractions in Cebu situated in Mantalongon, Dalaguete. It is the highest peak in Cebu but if you are not the type who likes adventure or mountaineering, do not worry, since it just take a 30 minute hike to reach the peak. It is a 4 hour bus ride from the city proper. Upon reaching the bus drop-off point at Dalaguete, you need to ride a motorcycle (aka habal-habal) which will take you to the jump-off point. Upon registration, you need to pay 50 pesos per head and 100 pesos per tent if you bring your own tent and opt for an overnight stay. They will also require you to have a tour guide (minimum rate is 100 pesos but you can tip bigger amount if you feel generous). Most tourists opt for just a day hike, but if you want to marvel at the beauty of sunrise, then I recommend for an overnight stay to witness the beautiful sunrise the following day. Aside from the instagramable scenery, you can go grocery shopping for vegetables which the locals sell at a cheaper price.

The highest mountain in Cebu, Osmeña Peak is the “peak” spot from which you can get stunning 360-degree views of Cebu island. It’s the most famous and beautiful viewpoint on Cebu.From here you can see cool rock formations and farms stretching for thousands of kilometers ,Osmeña Peak is an hour and a half to two-hour drive from the municipality of Moalboal.Plan at what time to do your Osmeña Peak trekking according to the month that you are visiting. If it’s the warmer summer months of April or May, sunrise is ideal.But during the cold December and January months, avoid going at sunrise and visit just before sunset instead. Just before sunset is a perfect timing – the air is a bit cooler, and you are not hiking under the blazing heat of the sun.Additionally, you have the opportunity to see the epic sunset views. You can also visit during the day, however, bear in mind that the even if it’s a short hike, it will be pretty hot.In terms of hiking effort to rewarding views ratio, Osmeña Peak day hike is a piece of paradise that is easily achieved. There are a lot of guides available there if you want one to get one. There is no standard regulation regarding the price for guides.
The guide will most likely tell you that the price is up to you to decide, but 150 PHP is usually enough.

Osmena Peak
In the small town of Alegria in the Philippines, I woke at 3 am, gathered my gear and met our driver at the front of our hostel. For 500 Pesos per person or $10 USD we had a return trip to Osmeña Peak, the tallest peak on Cebu.
The three of us crammed onto the habal-habal, which was easy on the wallet but incredibly uncomfortable on the butt cheeks. If you are a budget traveler it will be your only choice from Alegria when looking to hike Osmeña Peak, but if you have the cash rent a car or get some other way up there!
Book a tour: You can do it DIY like me but there is a really good tour you can book as well. The tour I can recommend to you actually includes a visit to Kawasan Falls and Osmena Peak on the same day for just $30!

This is an easy trek with unbelievable view on top! For non-experienced climber like me, it really is a great achievement to say that I am able to climb Osmena Peak, which is incidentally the highest peak in the province of Cebu.
From airport, we went directly to the peak. You need to get a guide in order to climb it. The local guide is quite friendly and took lots of great pictures of us. You can also rent bamboo walking sticks to help with your balancing.

Osmeña Peak is the highest mountain in Cebu. I was not able to feel the heat of the sun because of the cold atmosphere. Being said as the highest mountain, it is not that hard though to climb on top because mostly you will just ride a motorcycle or what the locals refer to as 'habal-habal'. It is a little frightening though because you might fall off the edge.

Today was
Today was a day of self-discovery and love as I embarked on a journey to Osmeña Peak, a majestic place that whispers tales of beauty and serenity. As I trekked up the winding paths, surrounded by lush greenery and the gentle caress of the wind, I felt a sense of peace wash over me. The rugged terrain challenged me, but with each step, I felt myself growing stronger and more empowered.
Reaching the summit of Osmeña Peak, I was greeted by a breathtaking view that took my breath away. The rolling hills stretched out before me, bathed in the golden light of the setting sun. In that moment, I felt a deep connection to nature and to myself. The beauty of the world seemed to reflect the beauty within me, and I realized that self-love is not just a concept, but a tangible reality that I could embrace and nurture.
Sitting on the edge of the peak, with my feet dangling over the edge and the sky painting a canvas of colors above me, I closed my eyes and breathed in the crisp mountain air. In that stillness, I made a promise to myself - to love myself fully and unconditionally, to embrace my flaws and celebrate my strengths, and to always prioritize my own well-being and happiness.
As the sun dipped below the horizon and the stars began to twinkle in the darkening sky, I felt a sense of contentment washing over me. I knew that this moment, this experience of self-love and empowerment, would stay with me forever. And as I descended from Osmeña Peak, my heart felt light and my spirit lifted, ready to face whatever challenges and triumphs awaited me on the journey aheadGetting There -

Osmeña Peak! The friendly O-peak of Cebu South! ✨
We were just very thankful to our Tour Guide, kuya Abe, who took us to this beautiful place. The view truly mesmerizing, with those little hills sprouting from the ground. The trek, tho, was challenging. My body and outfit wasn't ready, so, if ever you decide to go, ready your body first. 😊
