| Siquijor Island Called "La Isla del Fuego" or Fire Island, by the Spaniards who first visited this area in the 16th century. Magellan and his Spanish Sailors stumbled upon the Visayan region after the tedium of an epic Pacific crossing in 1512. | ||

|

The first Spaniards to discover Siquijor Island were led by Esteban Rodriquez
on the Legaspi Expedition in 1565. Siquijor Island is situated on the crystal
clear waters in the central area of the Philippines. Just try to imagine
Islands hanging like a necklace of odd-shaped beads strung together by
various geographic chains of seas, straits, channels, and gulfs, this is
the Visayan Region. Its six major landmasses and fringe grouping of islets
and small islands invoke a series of idyllic images - White-sand beaches,
calm blue waters, shimmering coves, rocky coasts, and palm fringed beaches.
Siquijor offers all this and an unpolluted atmosphere with an uncrowded
ambience making for a unique off the beaten path place to place to spend
some time.
The best part is the island is still very much a laidback, friendly place, far from teeming with visitors from all over the world. |

| Siquijor Island is located 15 kilometers east of Dumaguete City, Negros Oriental. The island province of Siquijor looks like other tropical site across the Dumaguete Strait. But unlike the other islands in the archipelago, it has maintained its natural beauty against the activities of man. As one approaches the island, its pristine beauty unfolds slowly from its verdant forests and mountains to the 80 kilometers long ivory sand beaches. | ||
