Within this small area lie seven volcanoes. Lovely little Camiguin is the island “born of fire.”Much of the island was formed through earthquakes and volcanic eruptions. In the late 1800s, for example, the eruption of Mt. Vulcan submerged the old town of Catarman – pushing it below the sea, leaving behind the ruins of a church and its bell tower.
Many come to this island for diving. But it’s the volcanoes, the therapeutic volcanic black sand and the white-sand beaches that tourists are crazy about. Lonely Planet say’s drop it down next to Hawaii and it wouldn’t look out of place.
