Camiguin, Philippines has been spotlighted as one of the New York Times’ 52 Places to Go in 2026, recognized for its breathtaking natural attractions and rising global appeal.

The island also offers rich local culture and heritage, including a sunken cemetery, eco‑farm tours, a lanzones fall festival, and new sports tourism events like a triathlon.
