Camarines Sur
Philippines · Bicol Region · 10 m
Description
Camarines Sur is a province in the Bicol Region of southeastern Luzon, best known for the spectacular Caramoan Peninsula. Its rugged limestone islands, hidden lagoons, white-sand beaches, and crystal-clear waters make it one of the Philippines' most scenic island destinations, often compared to El Nido but with far fewer visitors. Inland, the biodiversity-rich Mount Isarog Natural Park, with its rainforest trails and waterfalls, and the CamSur Watersports Complex, one of Asia's pioneering cable wakeboarding parks, add to the province's appeal. Combining secluded island scenery, lush tropical landscapes, and outdoor adventure, Camarines Sur ranks among the most diverse destinations in the Bicol Region.
