The cool, clear waters of Cebu’s Bojo River

GMA reporter Joseph Morong on Monday shared a leisurely trip he recently took down a river in Cebu.

Bojo River is a small waterway about 1.4 kilometers in length. Lined with lush mangrove forest on either side, it starts from Aloguinsan—a town some 60 kilometers southwest of Cebu City—and empties into Tañon Strait between Cebu and Negros Island.

The community manages the Bojo River Village Tour and the nature reserve encompassing it, according to the province of Cebu's official website.

Visitors can swim, snorkel, or enjoy the river cruise, or stay on land and admire the river from a 400-meter-long bamboo boardwalk connected to a trail.

Other attractions in the town include Baybay Cove, where a hermit lived more than a hundred years ago; and The Farmhouse, which offers organic produce.

Tourists who want to join the town's eco-tour must book some days in advance. According to the province's website, the Aloguinsan Tourism Office may be reached at (032) 469-9041. — BM, GMA News
