Marinduque Wildlife Sanctuary: The Batanes of the South

Marinduque Wild Life Sanctuary is a newly discovered tourist spot in Marinduque. It’s a place where you can hike, camp, swim and also bird watch. Going here from the town centre is quite hard. It will take you almost 1.5 to 2 hours from Torrijos.   I recommend that you rent a van when you go here since the roads are not yet complete and you will go through a dirt road. Riding a tricycle or a jeep will just be very hard.
               
 The sanctuary has a very nice view especially when you love to hike.  You can see sceneries as same as Batanes but you will have to hike for 2 hours. If you don’t want to hike for 2 hours you can also view this scenery at a nearby place called Sibuyao. This will just be a 10 minute hike, with also a nice view, perfect for Senior Citizens.
                 
 You must visit this place when you go to Marinduque. This is perfect for nature lovers, bird watchers and adventure seekers. If you want to escape the crowded places and busy tourist spots, then this will be the perfect place for you.
