Osmeña Peak
About
The highest point in Cebu at roughly 1,000 meters, yet one of the easiest summits around: a short 20-30 minute hike from the jump-off. The reward is a jagged landscape of pointed, grassy hills often compared to the Chocolate Hills, with both coasts visible on clear days. Sunrise hikes are the most popular. Hardcore hikers continue down to Kawasan Falls in a full-day traverse.
