Cebu has the perfect fusion of urban and rural setting. Among the other major cities of the country, Cebu City seems to be a better choice in terms of residence, career growth, and even retirement. Despite the industrialization development, Cebu City cradles great suburbs ideal for relaxation, adventure, or just any random recreational activities.
One of the frequently visited spots by local mountaineers is the Bocaue Peak located just within Cebu City. This destination is absolutely ideal for those working or residing in the city yet wanting to take a breathing space from the town's bustle.
The starting point of this adventure trip lies just around the corners of Cebu City so you won’t have to travel and get stuck on a vehicle for long hours. Aside from its accessibility, affordability is another consideration. You can make this adventure possible with at least Php 150 in your pocket for the motorcycle fares. With a minimal budget, some water and food to get by, and a whopping amount of stamina, you can surely go through this, no sweat, well, a little drip maybe. whew!

| Breakfast at the peak |
Guadalupe Church is the jump-off point where you need to take a motorcycle ride (locally known as habal-habal) to Barangay Napu and the trekking begins!
For a cragsman, this trek may only take 3-4 hours but for beginners, it may last for 6-7 hours and an impossible task for a couch potato (like the author of this blog. LOL) It’s quite a difficult track but reaching the top is as rewarding as finding a pot of gold at the end of the rainbow. Even so, the hike is equally worthwhile with peaking because of the area's scenic beauty and soothing temperature. Aside from the countryside terrain, you will also pass by Mt. Babag with its famous landmark - the RCPI Towers.
The place is absolutely rich with natural resources. It has two main water sources where you could get a refill. Reaching the peak, you would find a vast area for camping, barbecue, games, team building, and just about anything you'd wish to do on a mountain top. Just be ready with your coats since the temperature tends to drop at night til dawn.
So here's the vlog © AldrinVids that will probably feed your curiosity and let you feel how exhausting yet exciting the climb to Bocaue Peak is!
