Named after Barangays Marinawa and Binanwahan in the municipality of Bato, Maribina Falls is the most popular of the numerous waterfalls in Catanduanes. As we frolicked in the cool waters and over the boulders, locals gather vegetables from the forest and dive for sugpo (prawns).



The observatory tower of the PAG-ASA Weather Station perched above the rolling greenery of Brgy. Buenavista, Bato, Catanduanes, offers panoramic views of the mountainous interior, jagged coastline and churning waters of Cabugao Bay.







Puraran Beach is a world-class surf spot and perhaps the most popular attraction in Catanduanes.

Ever since the 1970s, when an Australian surfer by the name of Peter Sutton discovered that this secluded cove harbors long-barrel waves perfect for surfing and christened them the "Majestics", international surfers and backpackers have endured the rough roads and tempestuous weather to experience this charming beach.
