It’s an ideal paradise to anyone who loves and wants to get intimate with nature and enjoy a cool swim under the waterfalls. Canyoneering Package

Osmena Peak
Technically Osmena peak is inside the municipality of Badian, but it is often thought to be part of Mantalongon, Dalaguete because it is more accessible via Mantalongon. The peak is approximately 1,000 meters above sea level therefore making it the highest peak on the island of Cebu. Osmena peak is part of the Mantalungon mountain range, which is unique in the Philippines because of its multiple jagged hills. These grouped together peaks overlook and stretch as far as the Badian shorelines and the Tanton Straight. On a clear day you can see the Island of Negros. The highest of the hills in this range is the Osmeña Peak named in honor of the famous Osmeña clan in Cebu. Trekking Package

About Badian
A bit of History
Why is the island named Badian? This southern town got its name from a plant called, “badyang”, which was once abundant in the area. However, the Spaniards found it difficult to pronounce the name so eventually the “g” was dropped and the “y” was changed to “i” and the town came to be known as Badian, a generally mountainous and hilly area where locals and tourists go around in jeepneys and tricycles.
