One of the most prominent destinations on the island, just off the coast of Cagayan de Oro, would be the sunset-lit Sunken Cemetery in Catarman, a portion of the province's community where one of the first settlers of Camiguin lived and have been buried alive after Mt. Vulcan or Daang Bulkan erupted. The underwater tombstones, some still have identifiable features that are now rare from the uniform burial lots and tombs, extend to at least half a hectare from an old church similarly buried by Mt. Vulcan's lava.

Sometimes called the Old Church Ruins, the Guiob Church Ruins or locally known as Ruins of Old Spanish Church was what was left from the old church of the island’s Spanish era capital called Cotta Bato. It was constructed in the 16th century but it met its destruction a century later. On May 13, 1871, the capital’s peace was rattled by an intense trembling of the ground brought about by the rumbling of a nearby volcano, Mt. Vulcan. The earthquake shook the town mercilessly until houses and other structures were down to rubble. But that wasn’t the end of it. That evening, Mt. Vulcan unleashed its most devastating power when it erupted and destroyed what was left of the town.

Tuasan Falls isn’t the tallest waterfalls on the island of Camiguin in the Philippines but even so, I was impressed by its powerful water flow. Surprisingly, we came across Tuasan by chance while we were cruising along the highlands of Camiguin.
Tuasan Falls is located in the middle of the mountains. And just a few steps away from the parking area. Basically, this fall can be easily accessed by anyone. It was very beautiful and the water is so refreshing. if you come across to this island better visit this wonder.
