Found on the eastern shoreline of the Philippine Islands, facing the Pacific Ocean and the Philippine Deep, Siargao offers the very best of the what this country has to offer -- coral reef islets, white sand beaches, emerald lagoons, mangrove rivers, palm trees, rice fields, rainforests, cliffs and caves.
There is a wide range of wildlife in Siargao. There is the tarsier, for instance, which is the smallest primate in the world, the Philippine macaque and the green turtle.
The locals speak Surigaonon, a dialect of the Visayan language. They are predominantly Catholic and earn their livelihood mostly from fishing and copra farming. They are very hospitable, friendly and peace-loving.
