Research on GK Tourism Sites

Had an entire afternoon on the web researching on the GK sites where we would be putting up the B&B units.

IRIGA has a huge adventure potential.  Besides the more obvious trek up Mt. Iriga (which has two trails!) there are other nature side trips.  We can take guests to Lake Buhi - 30 mins. away, where the second to the smallest fish in the world (the Sinarapan) can be found.  You can take a boat ride around the lake and visit an island within, La Roca Encantada.  Then there are the Itbog Falls in Brgy. Sta. Cruz and the Sabang Falls in Iriga.

(Click here for more details and search in the index : Camarines Sur.)

DEL GALLEGO is a small town - and quiet, if you pass by the place on your way to Naga from Manila.  We had a couple of name studies for the Resto-Bus stop.  We initially started with GK Diner but are more inclined to GK Kantina.  It sounds perfect as "GK Kantina del Gallego".  It is spanish sounding but seems appropriate.

It makes sense to sound spanish specially with the word del Gallego.  Upon researching the town I stumbled upon a historic blog.  The town was named after one of its pioneering residents - a strapping young Spaniard named Juan del Gallego.  (See, it all fits!)  For tourist activities, just a bit of trivia... former President Manuel L. Quezon drove a gold nail to start the construction of the railway system connecting Manila to Legazpi.

LIBMANAN on the other hand... is the municipality with the largest land area in Camarines Sur.  Obviously I don't have much yet on Libmanan.  But then, truth is, the GK Village itself will have a lot of tourist activities on its own.  Oh, I forgot!  Libmanan has the Culapnitan Caves!  I still have to get more details about that like how far from the site and how extensive the explo is.  It is said to have nineteen limestone caves that house thousand of bats.  Good source of guano!  :)

PASACAO is the nearest beach destination from Naga so that in itself is a plus.  I haven't been to the GK site there but I've been told that the GK site is by the beach (or close to it, at the very least).  And there are dive sites!  Hahaha... maybe we are going too far with this.  Anyway, it's an option.
