Cebu is developed yet untouched at the same time. Lying within the Visayan group of islands in central Philippines, Cebu thrives with international trading activities. Yet outlying islands remain pristine, making them perfect playgrounds for adventure-seekers. Mactan Island was where Portuguese explorer, Magellan first baptized the first Filipino Catholics in 1521. Walk back in time by visiting monuments, which commemorate protagonists of those early days, like the Cross of Magellan, Magellan’s Marker and Lapu-Lapu Monument.
