Diocedsan Shrine of the Holy Cross

Reviewed By loloykolokoy - Manila, Philippines

If you're looking for a place of prayer with solemnity and silence, you want to consider this place. It's 30-minutes away from Virac Airport and few minutes away from the beautiful beach of Sacahon.

Binurong Point

Reviewed By 897bernadetten - Manila, Philippines

The second leg of my Bicol Express trip is The province of Catanduanes, An island on the eastern seaboard of the Philippines. Its rugged coast slammed the the harsh waves of the Pacific Ocean. The island is sometimes dubbed as Batanes of Catanduanes, because of its similar features to Batanes group of islands in the Northernmost tip of the Philippines. It is also called as the Irish coast of the Philippines because of its rock cliffs that meets the ocean. Of particular interest to me is Binurong Point, in Baras, Catanduanes. Its a 30-minute hike for experienced hikers and may take a little longer depending on your physical condition. In general, its an easy trail without steep inclines. The best time to go up is at 4:30am at dawn to catch the sunrise while at the Point. This activity is for hikers, nature lovers and for those who are curious to try hiking/trekking. This will leave you feeling good and asking for more. So go on to the next hike which is more challenging, the Bote Lighthouse.mits about 2-3 hours hike. On the way to Baras from Virac, you will pass by a beautiful old church, calle Bato Church. Its made of stone without steel and concrete. You can fly from Manila straight to Virac or you can take a bus. The bus will be loaded to a ferry upon reaching the port of Tabaco, Albay and will dock at the port of San Andres or in Virac, Catanduanes. If you have more time, you can soend a day or 2 in Legazpi. If you have more time, you can also go to the Province of Sorsogon. Bus fare from Manila to Virac is from PHP 875-1300 depending on the bus line of your choice and the amenities. Ferry fare is separate. There is PHP 20 environmental fee at Binurong Point.

Mamangal Beach

Reviewed By Coolchill

Our trike guide Reymund (09294586607) brought us to this beach. The beach was very clean and the water was shallow. It was low tide and you can walk out to the sea.

Maribina Falls

Reviewed By 184luist - San Pedro, Philippines

A small Falls near the town center of Virac. Entrance fee of 20 pesos. A walking distance from the gate to the falls. A small amount of water is cascading maybe due to summer months.
