In September 2014, an idea crossed my mind – to travel
through the provinces of Caraga region in the Northeastern part of Mindanao.
Caraga is composed of 5 provinces: Agusan del Norte (Butuan City), Agusan del
Sur, Surigao del Norte (Surigao City & Siargao), Surigao del Sur (Bislig
City & Hinatuan) and Dinagat Islands. This region hosts plenty of tourist
sites and spots such as Enchanted River, Tinuy-an Falls, the surfing capital –
Siargao, Sohoton Cove National Park, Britania Islands and many more.
