The Rise of the Wild Monkeys
Photos by devianttraveler Lianga, is a small town in Surigao del Sur. A municipality with happy people having simple life. Its tranquility enticed me to say “I go” when a closed friend invited me to be part of the entourage. Yes,she got married.She is not the topic anyway. What gave me a boom in my short vacation is the wild monkeys dwelling just above the ceiling of my room. These monkeys attack people. I stayed in this small villa of Lianga’s pride– the Kansilad Resort. I have been warned to stay away from the monkeys living in the isolated mini hills standing inside the beach jurisdiction. The location of my villa was just so perfect. Wild monkeys were just there above me. I appreciate the effort of Kansilad for keeping the habitat of these wild creatures but I am not convince of the safety precautionary measures of the resort. The poster said Do not go near to the monkeys but what if monkeys go near you without noticing them? You would be probably attacked. Trying to tease them, I went near them. I could see the wildness in their eyes as if they are always ready in combat. Fortunately, everything went easy maybe because they see themselves in me.Lol. After exploring the small planet of these mammals, the long stretch of white sand sea shore was very enticing with small islets seemingly floating on the blue waters of Surigao. It was believed that the islets-looking hills of Kansilad,where monkeys live, [...]

Tinuy-an Falls: Once a Killing Field
The ‘byernis santo’ or the good Friday superstition didn’t stop me in exploring the stunning Tinuy-an Falls sited at Burboanan Bislig City.It’s a 50- minute ride from poblacion if taking the usual route to tinuy-an falls. Watch the deviant travellers on youtube “Byirnes Santo in Tinuy-an Falls” << Click Here. Along the way, you could feel how wonderful the place is. The mountains are so green and the air is very soothing. This comforting atmosphere added to my excitement for I would at last experience to capture tinuy-an falls not just through the lens of my camera but also through my very eyes. While I was on my way, many things played in my mind as to how would it really look like and how can I really get closer to the falling water of tinuy-an as I can see in photos of other travellers. Does it have cottages around or mini sari sari store nearby? The wildest thought was why do they call it ‘tinuy-an’? My questions were all answered when I arrived. Different vehicles were parked already while the fogs kept on cooling the place. My excitement this time was doubled. I rushed to the area and a gigantic water falls welcomed me. I was like a little baby who wanted to jump off to the cold flowing water while viewing this unbelievable mother nature of ours. Unfortunately, there are scenarios that so destructive in my vacation. The cottages were running out so some groups installed their tents [...]

Enchanted River of Surigao del Sur
Very enchanting.Spectacular.Five stars recommended. My travel to this enchanting paradise in Hinataun Surigao del Sur revitalized my senses as I was being re oriented once again with the nature’s splendour. Introducing the Enchanted River. WATCH MY UNDERWATER VIDEOGRAPHY Sited in Hinatuan, people called the river enchanted because of its indisputably enthralling nature’s masterpiece. The bluish water conveys that it is not shallow. This 85 feet deep river scares most of the tourists for it seems you will be swallowed when you dive. Yet, this feeling didn’t stop me to jump and feel the coldness of this pure water. As per the native, the water is actually coming from the sipped stored water in the mountain and from rainfalls.. “Bugwak” is the term in vernacular which means a water is being released out. So, there is no reason to this river to gulp down anyone. It was almost seven hour drive from Davao City cruising Tagum,Mawab,Mongkayo,Montevista,Trento, Bunawan Agusan, San Franciso going to Hinatuan. From 11pm night to 7am. The original route was via Picop road going to Mangagoy, Bislig City but as per the advice of the ‘kamayos’, track the safe road even how far will it take you rather than passing an easy access that is rough, silent and rebels territory. There were several travellers who have been held up and left lifeless in this short cut.Then, we headed to Agusan del Sur for another 60 km distance before Hinatuan. The fresh air of Surigao welcomed devianttraveler.com. The seek for [...]
