Cantingas River Resort

Cantingas River Resort in San Fernando, Sibuyan Island, Romblon

January 1, 2013 by Josiah Leave a Comment

It was still raining when we arrived at Cantingas River Resort, our second destination in our tricycle tour from San Fernando in Sibuyan Island, Romblon.

Rainy day at Cantingas River Resort in Baranggay Taclobo, San Fernando, SIbuyan Island, Romblon Province

Our first plan when we arrived was to look for a place where we could shelter ourselves from the strong rain. We found one and there were other visitors that had the same plan as ours. It was only when all the adrenaline of the short run subsided that I get to observe the surroundings of Cantingas River Resort.

A valley that was carved by the river for many years. Rocks that looks like small shiny pebbles due to the distance from where I am and the rain. A platform that goes high above a pool that looks really deep. Trees and shrubs that had dark green leaves.

The rain gave a peaceful yet lonely mood. I liked it. It stopped our bodies from moving forward but allowed our minds to move forward and reflect. It gave time to talk to total strangers.

When the rains rage mellowed down I decided to walk to the towering platform for a different view. The concrete walkway was slippery that I had to walk slightly tiptoed to add friction to my steps. Slowly but surely. The flight of step to the tower was also slippery, this time it provided fences that one could hold on to.

The tower

From the second floor of the tower it provided a higher perspective of the place. A much better perspective that made me feel that I’m on top of things yet the floor above me says that there will always be something higher to go up to.

Tricycle Tour from San Fernando, Sibuyan Island, Romblon

September 13, 2012 by Josiah 4 Comments

After conquering Gomot Falls in Cajidiocan, Sibuyan Island 2 days ago and saying goodbye to 2 of our travel buddies, namely Marky and Pam, we were now in the municipality of San Fernando. One of our targets in this municipality in Sibuyan Island was to visit the island named Cresta de Gallo, unfortunately, we decided not to proceed as this would cost us 2,500 Pesos/boat for a whole day trip. We still had 16 days to go to explore the different tourist spots of Romblon and budget was a real concern.

The afternoon a day before Dazl and I went around town to search for places we could visit and it turns out that there are 3 tourist spots we could visit if we rent a tricycle for 700 Pesos. So we arranged our tricycle to pick us up at around 6AM from our lodging, Sea Breeze Inn, as we wanted an early start so we could explore more of San Fernando. So with Dazl, her cousin and I, we went on an adventure to visit the 3 tourist spots near San Fernando.

Here’s how our adventure went.

5:00 AM – Wake up, freshen up and breakfast.

6:30 AM – Pick up of tricycle.
