Why Camiguin is Called the "Born of Fire"
Camiguin is one of the most volcanically active islands in the Philippines, home to seven volcanoes packed into a small island landscape — more volcanoes per square mile than almost anywhere else in the country. Its most active, Mt. Hibok-Hibok, is a popular spot for hikers seeking panoramic views across the island. In 1871, a volcanic eruption gave rise to Mt. Vulcan and caused parts of a coastal town to sink into the sea — today marked by the iconic Sunken Cemetery, one of Camiguin's most visited landmarks. This fiery, ever-changing history is what earned Camiguin its nickname, and it's part of what makes the island's landscape — lush, mountainous, and dotted with hot springs and waterfalls — so unique to explore.
