Itinerary

  1. Day 1

    Cebu

    Landing in Cebu with a welcome meeting scheduled for 6 pm. If you arrive before then, the city has plenty to explore, from the 16th-century Spanish colonial buildings to the Cebu Taoist Temple up on Mt Busay. That observation deck at Tops gives you a really nice perspective of the whole city and surrounding areas, so it's worth the drive up if you have time.

    Optional Activities

    • Visit 16th-century Spanish colonial landmarks
    • Visit Cebu Taoist Temple
    • Visit Tops observation deck on Mt Busay
