August last year, we went to a challenging but memorable hike up to Caurasan, a mountain barangay located in Carmen, Cebu, and I’m super excited to share my experience with you all. If you’re looking for a place that combines adventure with breathtaking views, I highly recommend this spot.
Saturday morning, my boyfriend and I were ready to set off, excited and full of energy. Super ready to begin our adventure! The air was so fresh, and the sun shines so bright, promising a beautiful day ahead. The trail began relatively easy, “This is it? I thought this will trail will going to be so hard. We both smiling at this point, chatting and joking as we moved forward.
But then the trail got real. The smooth path turned rocky and steep. I quickly learned that Caurasan isn’t just a walk in the park. It requires some serious effort! There were moments when I felt like I was going about to give up. My legs started burning, and I’m gasping for air. We encountered muddy patches and slippery roads that needs our full attention and our skating skill a.k.a balancing skill. My bad for bragging too much
At one point, boom! I slipped and landed right in the mud, leaving me laughing at myself and momentarily forgetting the strain on my legs. My boyfriend helps me up, and we shared a good laugh. The terrain got tough but at least we enjoyed the journey. That’s what matter to us.
As we continue our journey, climbing higher and higher, Questions started to linger in my mind about my decision to take on this hike. “Why did we do this?” “Did we really make the right decision?” The closer we got to the top, the more my and tiredness faded away. Cold breeze started to touch my skin, chirping birds, colorful flowers welcomed us.
I just stood there, watching the beauty around us. I was so amazed with the view. Fortunately, I did not give up and continued the journey going up. I can say that it was one of those magical moments where you realize just how small you are in this big, and beautiful world. Of course, we take photos, but none could truly capture the pure essence of being up there.
We took some time to reflect on our journey. The hard road that led us to this wonderful peak. I just realize that the best experiences in life often come with challenges. If everything were easy, we wouldn’t appreciate the beauty at the top as much, would you agree with me?
The way back was a mix of cautious steps and shared stories about our favorite moments. My legs were still sore, but the spirits were high. The memories and the experiences will forever be treasured. We promised ourselves to return and conquer Caurasan again, maybe with some extra preparation next time!
So, if you’re up for a real adventure, I highly recommend hiking up to Caurasan in Carmen, Cebu. Yes, it’s tough and the journey will not be easy, but the reward is priceless (trust me). You’ll leave with not just beautiful photos but also unforgettable memories. Gear up, bring some water, and be ready to embrace the journey, hills and all!
