Siargao: A taste of paradise

in #photography7 years ago (edited)

Siargao is the surfing capital of the Philippines. It's located 800 kilometers southeast of Manila in the province of Surigao Del Norte. The tide of the island is diurnal with tidal curves.

Siargao has a lot of tourist spots to offer. I had the pleasure to visit the island for a short period of time. We visited a few spots but unfortunately not all of them but one thing is for sure we'll be back to visit all of them.

Here are some of the spots we have visited.

Travelling won't be complete without tasting the food from the island.

Here are some of the food we tasted:

Shaka is the name of the restaurant, it is an all-day breakfast bar that serves colorful smoothie bowls also known as power bowls. Bakunawa is a dragon in Philippine mythology that is often represented as a gigantic sea serpent and is believed to be the cause of eclipses.

To complete the trip, the main reason why we visited siargao is surfing. We have a very few photos surfing because we decided to enjoy it as much as we can.

Here is a photo of us surfing.
