El Nido | The Paradise Of Inagbuyutan Island


EL NIDO | The Paradise Of Inagbuyutan Island
The Bacuit Archipelago



If I get myself stranded and marooned in a certain island for an indefinite time, I'd imagine it to be the Inagbuyutan Island. To be honest, The Bacuit Archipelago is scattered with many beautiful islands that its a heartbreak to discard even just one of them. Painfully beautiful, that's what I'd think of Inagbuyutan Island, as the last island we hopped into for the Tour B, it looked to be a fitting finale.



It was in mid afternoon when the outrigger boat that brought us, a group of strange tourist to Inagbuyutan Island. The sun though still hot is already slanting, we docked on the face of the island under the shadows of the towering karst Rock. Sedimentary rocks trusts up in the middle of nowhere, snaked into by wild vines along its crevices, and coconut trees a scatter on the only flat land in the shadows, a white sand beach after a green lush and wall of rock. 

Already most of us bear the marks of sun burns, the couple of Australian guests we were with seemed to be having the best of times ever, having free dived on all the snorkeling sites and underwater caves we've been. I've never been jealous of someone who can free dive and stay underwater for more than 2 minutes, the most I can go under is about 12-15 Ft below in less than a minute of holding my breath utmost. It seemed as the Australian guys explained it to me, if you wer.e schooled in Australia, you'll most likely be taught to swim, and diving lessons are for free and can even be part of their curriculum. How amazing would that be, in here in our country, Diving lessons comes with a fee that can burn holes in pockets.



The photos shared in here are in chronology, starting from our initial approach, you see on the first picture a big rock with rugged edges and scattering of green lush plants capping its edges. On its right side, under the eaves and shadows of the huge rock is the scenic flat beach adorned with coconut trees. Just by looking from afar, one will realise that this island actually stands out in its sorrounding of azure waters, islaets and islands. Can you blame me if I thought of this island to be special enough that I'd wished to be marrooned in here.
