Have a great day fellow adventure seekers, Welcome to my blog! Fasten yourself and ready to wear your gear as we traverse into the scenic view of one of the great roads across mountains that connects Cebu City and the Municipality of Balamban. Join me as I embark on a thrilling journey through a twisting road and a breathtaking uphill of Transcentral Highway.
The Transcentral Highway
Every motorcycle enthusiast, and those who have a passion for riding dreams of traversing this one well-known highway in the Province of Cebu, no other than the Transcentral Highway of Balamban, Cebu. This highway offers a short, yet challenging route for those who want to travel from either in the North going to Cebu City, or from the South going to Cebu City. This highway is very challenging to pass through since it is the only highway that passes through the highest mountain tops. The elevation of the Transcentral Highway in Cebu based on my calculation would be around 10000 meters above sea level. Its distance would be around 45 kilometers from Balamban Gaisano Town Center to Cebu City JY Square.
Why do Riders choose to Traverse this Highway?
Every Weekend, this Highway has a lot of visitors from different places in Cebu Province. Most of the visitors are Motorcycle Riders who love to press on the throttle of their bikes, enjoying the moments of being free from traffic and geared up to their speed and skills in driving. Here are some reasons why there were a lot of visitors to this Highway.
-Traffic free
-Many twisting parts of the road
-High elevation, meaning there is a long uphills and downhills
-Riders can boost their performance and skills in riding which is free of charge
-There were also a lot of tourist spots in the place
-They can connect to nature easily
-This is a shortcut if want to travel from Balamban, Asturias, Tuburan, Toledo, and Pinamungajan to Cebu City
My Journey Along the Transcentral Highway
During the past years, I used to visit here on Transcentral Highway since I am a rider enthusiast and was also a member of a riding community. I was single at that time and had a lot of free time to enjoy my passion. But when the pandemic struck and then I got married, I never had the time to visit here anymore. That's why when I got a chance to go through the Division Office, I decided to take this route since I already missed this place. Excitement was on me as I started to rev the engine of my motorcycle. My wife has been going with me since she also missed the place. It was morning as we departed from my house, and was making a stop over at Asturias to take our lunch.
After our lunch, we did a little chitchat and continued our journey. As we came near to Balamban, my excitement aroused. I missed the place and I always love to visit here. It is my way of connecting to nature and also my way of enjoying my passion.
The Highway was well developed. It improved a lot, from a concrete cemented road, it is already covered now with asphalt. It feels very comfortable to drive. I love every turn as I navigate my motorcycle, the uphills and the downhills as if we are riding a roller coaster. I love the cool temperature as we are on the mountaintop. The foggy environment which feels like we are in the clouds.
How does it feel when we are in a place we missed?
It almost took an hour to traverse the Transcentral Highway. We do some stop-and-go, cherishing the moments in the entire place. It feels very satisfying and very comfortable being in a place you have visited again and again before. The feeling of continent and joy, and the happiness it brought me makes me feel never losing of energy. I said to myself, I will have to visit again this place.
Riding the Transcentral Highway has been an experience like no other. From an adrenaline rush on every twist and turn, to the captivating scenery that unfolds before our eyes, this journey is a must for every adventure-seeker soul. Let the Transcentral Highway take your breath away and leave you with countless memories to cherish forever. Happy Riding Everyone!

I always traversed the South Central Highway before when my hubby was assigned to Balamban. It was such a refreshing site and relaxing as you continued to feel the freshness of the air while watching the views around. You and your wife had a wonderful moment there! Thus, It makes relationships stronger and happier.
Yes. Very true ma'am @dehai. It was indeed a very relaxing and refreshing site especially when we were at the top of Cansamuroy, Balamban.
It's really an adventure ride Sir @mrexperienciado, I am almost died there in going to the tops way back 1999 my college days. The vehicle we are riding cannot climb up anymore and don't have a brake, oh my God. Thanks God for giving me a second life. Riders should check the condition of their vehicles before passing on that road. But surely the coolness and the view are very incridble.
That can be a traumatic experience, ma'am. There were a lot of accidents that happened in that area. That's why drivers and riders must be extra careful going down and going up there. And what you say is true that it is a must-do to check the brakes and the condition of the vehicle before going there.
I want to experience that also with fog! 😃 I believe that it is a lot more interesting and exciting experience.
You will have to try going there ma'am from 8 am to 9 am. The fog was still there in that area.
Sige ma try nga 😁 Thank you, sir!
I love to travel trans central High way, cool breeze and nice view always welcome you.
Yes, very true ma'am.
Whenever I go to the city, I always prefer to traverse TCH. Aside from being free from traffic congestion, I get to enjoy the view and find new places.
Yeah. Very true ma'am. There are lots of tourist spots in TCH. And it is very nice to see the beautiful landscapes that are visible from the top.
