Alegria attractions

Mt. Lanaya - South of Alegria, Cebu

Mt. Lanaya is covered with secondary forest, apart from a dense of patch of tall (over 25m) lowland forest trees in the gulleys near the peak, which covers c. 20 ha.  Patches of agroforests and coconut plantation cover most of the lower slopes of the mountain.  The mountain is surrounded with limestone hills covered with secondary forest and dense scrub and bamboo similar to that found on Mt. Kangbulagsing (nearby mountain range).  The Black Shama (Copsychus cebuensis) has been noted to inhabit the mountain (Mallari, Tabaranza Jr. and Crosby, Key Conservation Sites in the Philippines).

With almost 600m altitude, the peak of Mt. Lanaya provides a breathtaking view of the town of Alegria, and the neighboring towns of Malabuyoc and Badian.

You can climb the mountain from its base or via Lumpan Alegria, Cebu.  You can hire motorbike (habal-habal) up to the chapel of Lumpan.  Local folks will be happy to guide your way to the peak of Mt. Lanaya.  Tourists who are more adventurous may climb the mountain from its base.  Get off at Legaspi Alegria, Cebu.  You can ask for Nanay Lucing or their Barangay Captain to arrange for a local guide.  Climbing the mountain from Legaspi would take you at most two hours.  You may need to pay the local guide PhP 500.00 (Five Hundred Pesos) or around 10 US$, depending upon your agreement.
