Amateur Traveler Travel Podcast
Society & Culture:Places & Travel
Hear about tourist spots in Mindanao, the southernmost island in the Philippines, as the Amateur Traveler talks to guidebook author Michael Grossberg from likelocal.io about his many trips to Mindanao.
Why should you go to Mindanao?
Michael says, "Most people that go to Mindanao these days go directly to the island of Siargao, which is one of the hottest, most happening places in all the Philippines for people to travel to. We'll get to that and it's deservedly popular. However, there's so much more to see in Mindanao. Mindanao has one of the largest cities in the Philippines the city of Davao. Davao is in the far south of Mindanao. It's got a cosmopolitan culture, amazing, wonderful food. The mountains and the islands around Davao are incredible. You can spend a month there. The highest peak in the Philippines, Mount Apo, which you can climb, and people do is only a couple hours or so from Davao."
"There are endless coastlines to explore. There is indigenous culture. There are surfing spots. The city of Zamboanga, also has its own unique culture, a combination of Muslim influence, Malaysian, and Spanish cuisine. The whole coastline, the north, the east, really all over, are dotted with incredible beaches, and a lot of them are not really traveled to by foreigners, but Filipinos love to travel, and so Filipinos that go to Mindanao go to all these places."
For a one-week itinerary, Michael recommends a visit to Cagayan de Oro, Camiguin, and Siargao.
