It was a busy season in the office which brought me to unwind myself and have some stuff out side the city. So, I called my friends for some queries about what is good to do just to refresh ouselves for a while. Both the team suggested to climb some mountains just to have some exercise as well as to discover some places away from the city. We decided to climb Mt. Babag, one of Cebu's best climbing destinations for a newbie in #trekking or #mountainclimbing. So here's our itenirary if you like to climb Mount Babag in Cebu.
Early in the morning before the sun rise, we gather in a jeepney station located at Park Mall, Cebu. At 5:30 in the morning, we ride a O1K jeepney going to SM City Cebu, after few minutes of drive we finally came at SM Cebu. Afterwhich, we ride again a 06H jeepney going to Guadalupe Cebu (please inform the driver that you are going to trekk at Mt. Babag) they will know where to drop you. The legend just to know if you are in the Guadalupe is the church. Approach the habal-habal driver to please brought you at the sole of Mt. Babag. There you can start your journey climbing at Mount Babag. Please dont hesitate to approach the locals. They were not hisitant to help you and guide you to reach at the top of the mountain.
While in the middle of the summit, you will see a water spring. It is a fresh cold water where you can drink for your thirst or you can also refill it to your bottles. At the top of the mountain, it was a paradise! An overlooking place towards the city. The air was so fresh and cold. Upon looking at the opposite side of the mountain, you can see a lot of flower farms out there, planted with different kinds of flowers.
BUDGET!!!
Jeepney to SM Cebu - Php 7.00
Jeepney to Guadalupe Church -Php 8.00
Motorcycle to Sole of Mt. Babag - Php 20.00
a total of Php 70.00 back and fort. (Note: subject to change upon your agreemen of the drivers)
So if want to trek or hike this summer, I would suggest Mt. Babag is the best place and which is suitable for you if you are a beginners of hiking or climing mounatins.
