Jungle Adventures and Water Wonders: A Trip Down Memory Lane at Katibawasan Falls, Camiguin Island

Once upon a time, in the lush heart of Camiguin Island, there existed a magical place known as Katibawasan Falls. Join us on a journey through time, back to the 1980s, when the trees were alive with mischievous monkeys swinging from branch to branch.

The Tale of Katibawasan Falls and the Monkey Kingdom

In the quaint town of Mambajao, Camiguin, lies the enchanting Katibawasan Falls, a majestic 70-meter waterfall surrounded by thick, emerald greenery. But rewind to the 1980s, and the scene was even more extraordinary. Back in those days, the trees surrounding Katibawasan were not just trees—they were the bustling homes of a vibrant community of monkeys.

Imagine a jungle symphony, where the rustling leaves played the background music, and the lively chatter of monkeys provided the melody. Those were the days when visitors weren't just greeted by the sight of cascading water, but also by the playful acrobatics of monkeys leaping from one tree to another.

As you ventured closer to Katibawasan Falls, the air was thick with excitement. Monkeys were the true masters of the canopy, putting on a show for anyone fortunate enough to witness their antics. Their agile movements, cheeky expressions, and nimble jumps turned the surroundings into a lively spectacle, creating memories that would last a lifetime.

A Short Jaunt to Binunsaran: Bintana sa Paraiso

But the adventure doesn't end at Katibawasan Falls; just a stone's throw away lies another hidden gem. Picture this: a mere 2 kilometers from the falls, nestled in the heart of Binunsaran, is "Bintana sa Paraiso" or the "Window to Paradise."

As you embark on this short journey, the scenery transitions from the lively greens of the jungle to the tranquil beauty of Binunsaran. Here, Bintana sa Paraiso awaits, offering a breathtaking panoramic view of the surrounding landscape. It's as if nature crafted its very own masterpiece, showcasing the lushness of Camiguin in a single frame.

Plan Your Adventure: Rediscovering Katibawasan Falls and Beyond

Fast forward to today, and while the monkey kingdom might not be as populous, Katibawasan Falls still stands as a testament to the timeless beauty of nature. Visitors can still revel in the cool embrace of its crystal-clear waters, surrounded by the same greenery that once hosted acrobatic monkey performances.

So, what are you waiting for? Pack your bags, bring your sense of wonder, and venture into the heart of Camiguin Island. Rediscover the magic of Katibawasan Falls, reminisce about the lively monkey kingdom of the past, and don't forget to peek through the "Window to Paradise" in Binunsaran—a mere 2 kilometers away.

BINTANA SA PARAISO: A window to paradise.

One year after the lockdown was imposed because of the global pandemic, our feet are starting to itch to go somewhere far and serene. We are all dreaming of staying at the beach or enjoying the cold water of the pool while taking pictures and posting all those on our social media. We are hopeful that 2021 will be a year of relaxation and vacation but as the Covid-19 scare surrounds us, the safety protocols of provinces are still strictly imposed and that makes our eagerness to travel far from the bustling atmosphere of the city too exciting!

There are some provinces that allow tourists to visit their favorite destinations however, the tourists must comply with the necessary documents to be able to enter their premises. Such documents include travel pass and negative Covid test results. Some provinces, on the other hand, allow tourists to stay in hotels and resorts provided that they are a local resident of their province or island.

It’s okay! In the meantime, let’s fill your imagination with more anticipation for a well-deserved vacation! Let me introduce to you one of Philippines’ best resorts that is located on an island near Bohol Province

The Philippines has hundreds of thousands of recommendable tourist destinations from Luzon to Mindanao that are just waiting for tourists to explore and enjoy. One of these exemplary destinations is the breathtaking Bintana Sa Paraiso hotel and resorts in Camiguin Island!

Camiguin Island is an island province located in the Bohol Sea and the island capital is Mambajao. It is the second-smallest province in the country in both population and land area after Batanes. The island locals speak Cebuano as their dialect.

Camiguin is also well-known for their sweetest lanzones fruit in the country! The locals also celebrate the annual Camiguin Lanzones Festival every October as their tradition. So if you are looking for a tourist destination that will also keep you healthy with their crops and fruits, Camiguin is the choice to fly to!

Bintana Sa Paraiso is situated about 4.3 miles from the center of Mambajao and from the local airport, you can reach Bintana Sa Paraiso through an arranged airport shuttle that will only take you a 10-minute drive. If you wish to drive your own car, they have a provision for parking and guess what? The parking fee is FREE! Or, if you don’t have a car to drive, the hotel can arrange private transportation to let you explore the island. Isn’t it wonderful?

Bintana Sa Paraiso has two astounding branches in Camiguin Island. One in Naasag and the other in Binunsaran. Both branches have an ambiance that is breathtaking and definitely relaxing. 


The Naasag branch sits on a lovely hill at the foot of magnificent Mount Hibok-Hibok. The resort will give you a dramatic feel of Santorini in Greece for its whitewashed, cube-shaped buildings that are indeed patterned to the well-known historic landmark in the world! The property also has a secluded hot spring and infinity pool that you can enjoy. You can also enjoy the instagrammable 90-degree view of the island while sipping your favorite fruit drink from your room! Get ready to pump your phone and camera batteries because you will never get enough of the lovely view, interior designs, and vivid color of the fresh greens and flowers! 

The Binunsuran branch, however, exudes a different ambiance but is still as astonishing. It is located at the mountain with a Balinese theme. There is one big swimming pool where you can also enjoy the view of the serene surrounding. This resort is highly recommended for its intimate vibe that gives you a healing feeling because of the peaceful lush of the mountain trees.

The Binunsuran branch is your best go-to resort if you are a “nature person” rather than a “beach person”. This resort speaks volumes about being close to nature. The stillness of the surrounding brings relaxation and peace of mind that you will only get from Bintana Sa Paraiso.

While the best vacation lies in the comfort of the amenities and the activities you can do in the resort like having a relaxing spa and doing some diving activities, breakfast also plays one of the best parts of your stay in a resort. In Bintana Sa Paraiso, both branches, Naasag and Binunsuran resorts offer the best and high-rated breakfast that has a selection that includes Italian, Vegan, Asian, American, and Ala Carte service.

The Bintana Sa Paraiso hotel and resorts are famous for their delectable meals and excellent services. You can even enjoy your breakfast while you are in the pool! Surrounded by perfect scenery, the experience is also unforgettable with all the Instagram-worthy structure plus you can bring your fur-babies with you as the resorts are both pet-friendly! 

No wonder why tourists who have been in the resorts keep on coming back every time. They have definitely seen the value for money and the unparalleled experience and memories they bring home with them.
