Part 3 of the Libotero Bohol Series
DAY 1.
Immediately upon arrival in Tubigon, Bohol, we wasted no time and drove straight to the Sagbayan Peak in Sagbayan Bohol. Sagbayan is a 5th class municipality about 15-30 minutes away from Tubigon.
Sagbayan Peak is an elevated resort and recreation center. The area offers a 360-degree view of the world-famous Chocolate Hills. The resort sits on a five-hectare property and offers different types of facilities and amenities: a viewing deck, pavilion, cafe, butterfly dome, grotto, chapel, children’s playground, picnic grounds, tarsier sanctuary and water park, among others.
A life-sized dinosaur named “T-Rex” welcomed us to the Sagbayan Peak!
The 10-feet tall structure is really quite scary to look at in person..
Other animals and cartoon characters are scattered all around the resort.
Say hello to the all-time favorite Disney characters which kids of all ages will truly love!
While walking towards the pavilion, we were greeted by a pizza man which had a funny face
Welcome once more
The covered pavilion has tables and chairs where guests can enjoy food and refreshments offered at the counter at the side of the covered court.
From the pavilion, there is a set of stairs going down, and slowly going up again leading to the centerpiece attraction of the resort, the massive viewing deck.
Surrounding the stairs are landscaped pocket gardens.
The viewing deck allows for 360 degree views of the surrounding areas including the Chocolate Hills, and on clear days, the sea, and even the nearby island of Cebu.
Oh my! Why is there a house being constructed on the foot of one of the hills?!
Ain’t the view great? By all means, we should preserve these wonderful things for the generations and generations to come!
Anyway, after snapping some shots from the viewing deck, we went to the pavilion and were ready to leave when I saw a screen-enclosed structure labeled “TARSIER”. For that, we went inside and one of the resort keepers approached us briefing us not to turn on the flash when taking photos and not to make noise as they may stress the tarsiers which are very suicidal in nature! So if you’re planning to check out the tarsiers, do take note of those.
The tarsier, the world’s smallest primate
After some photo-ops with two tarsiers, we bid the Sagbayan Peak goodbye and went back to the road for our next destination!
