WATCH: Get Closer to Nature at These Outdoor Spots in Cebu
From a flower farm to a bird sanctuary.
(SPOT.ph) Cebu in Western Visayas is most known for two things: its heritage sites, such as Fort San Pedro and Magellan's Cross; and its white-sand beaches, especially those on Mactan Island, Malapascua Island, and Bantayan Island. But if you're tired of the usual Cebu tourist spots, this island province also has something to offer for lovers of the great outdoors.

If you want to take photos of colorful flowers and windmills as if you're in Amsterdam, there's Sirao Garden, a flower farm that's also known as the Little Amsterdam of Cebu. It features tulips, celosia flowers, sunflowers, and hyacinths.
Evo Nature Camp in Balamban is a recreational facility that opened its doors in January 2020. The 4.5-hectare destination features trekking and rappelling trails, camping spots, a fun-filled obstacle course, and an outdoor restaurant with a view of the surrounding hills.
