Cebu is one of the corners of the Philippines that very few international travelers ever reach. Only the most steadfast globetrotters or Philippines completists who want to explore every inch of the country have discovered the lush jungles and historic coastal towns. In all likelihood, visiting the area involves a visit to the bustling Cebu City or holding up in a resort along with a beach nearby. There’s also the lovely town of Minglanilla, situated just west of Cebu City. 

Surrounded by dense jungle and rolling hills to the north, this unassuming town has access to outdoor destinations like Mangrove Eco Park and the Jumalon Butterfly Sanctuary, along with the colonial history of Cebu City and its wonderful Fort San Pedro. Depending on your aims, you can take a deep dive uncovering the colonial past in Cebu, or spend your time exploring the surrounding landscapes, birdwatching, boating, and hiking through some of the most intense terrain you’ll find anywhere.

In town, you’ll also have plenty of culture to enjoy. Filipino food is legit, though unfortunately overlooked in many countries. With hearty staples like lechon and fresh seafood at your disposal, both Minglanilla and Cebu City’s restaurants will keep you busy (and fed) during your trip. While it pales in comparison with Metro Manila, the shopping in Cebu City and Minglanilla is perfectly serviceable for your trip.

Museums in Minglanilla

Anjo World Theme Park

One of the largest theme parks in the Philippines might seem out of place in a small city like Minglanilla, but it’s really part of the larger entertainment landscape of Cebu City. This expansive theme park has rides and attractions for young children and even teenagers. If you’re traveling with the family to Minglanilla, this is a nice one to have in your back pocket to keep the kids engaged. 

Fort San Pedro 

One of Cebu City’s top colonial landmarks, this fortress was built in the 16th century by Miguel López de Legazpi, who conquered the Philippines to expand the Spanish Empire into Asia. Its location near the water protected the colonial holdings of Spain in Cebu, and its formidable defenses can still be visited today. Although the fortress is partially ruined, you can tour the battlements and interior that function as a museum. There’s also a garden tucked away between the ramparts.

There's no getting around this staple. Lechón, or roast suckling pig, is the quintessential Filipino dish.
