The highest peak of bohol

Mt. Matunog in Bohol should be an item in every mountain trekkers bucket list.

While there are around 44 named mountains in Bohol, the highest and the most prominent mountain is Mt. Matunog (Mayana Peak). It is in Mayana, Jagna, a third-class municipality in the east side of Bohol an hour away from Tagbilaran City and the portal of Central Visayas to Mindanao.

Mayana is coined as the “Little Baguio of Bohol” because of its cold weather. The barangay, in fact, is around 820m above sea level. No wonder why Mt. Matunog has an even colder environment.

Going to the peak is the kind of thrill that every mountain hikers and trekkers are looking forward to experience. Be amazed at how enchanting the trail is as you pass through mini forests, wildflowers, and lovely anthuriums. The path to the final peak is an adrenaline pumper. The ascend is steep and the only thing that serves as rails are small tree branches and grasses.

The sweat and the effort climbing to the top are all worth it. Here, you’ll witness nearby mountains ranges like Garcia, Duero, and Candijay. The view of the vast sea and the most part of Bohol is breathtaking. The feeling is very satisfying
