Minglanilla in Metro Cebu is known for two things. First, as “Sugat Capital of the South,” sugat means “meeting” in Cebuano; and second, the Kabanhawan (Resurrection) Festival, celebrated every Easter Sunday. On Black Saturday nights, people in Minglanilla and other parts of Cebu City observe the Sugat, or the re-enactment “meeting” of the resurrected Christ and his mother. 

At present, Minglanilla is developing into a progressive suburban town thanks to the continuous improvement of Cebu City’s economic boom, only 15 kilometers from Minglanilla.

If you’re planning to move into a house for rent in Minglanilla with your family for work or just for a change of scenery, expect that Minglanilla is not just a place to work. To make your stay here more enjoyable, make sure to visit these leisure destinations with your family for an ultimate family bonding experience.

Minglanilla’s 7 Caves and White Cave

This attraction is located on the mountainous side of Minglanilla in Barangay Camp 7. The Seven Caves of Minglanilla are known to be challenging traverses. If you and your partner are adventure junkies, this route with treacherous inner cliffs is sure to boost your adrenaline. Though physically taxing, these caves house awe-inspiring rock formations and quartz crystals.

The White Cave is a major attraction here due to its sheer size, about three times the size of Cebu Cathedral’s facade. If you want to encounter bats in real life, Cave 2 will be fascinating to you. Since some of the caves of Minglanilla are already dead, meaning its ecosystem and formations are not growing anymore, visiting this site will give you a sense of awareness of your surroundings and being.

Century-Old Man-Made Forest

Bohol is not the only place in the Visayas region with a man-made forest; Minglanilla has one too! This attraction, also known as the Osmeña Reforestation Project, is located in Barangay Camp 7 in Minglanilla. This spot is perfect for nature-loving families. This forest reserve spans about 2,710 hectares and is home to numerous species of birds, insects, trees, and plants. 

Trekking is a good activity you can do here with your family. There is a 240-meter kiddie trail where guides introduce you to tree species. You can also go for the 1.3-kilometer EcoDiscovery and Heritage Trail, where you will get to know about this project’s history and the dynamics of the forest ecosystem. The last option is the 1.2-kilometer Ecstasy Trail, which will allow you to visit two of the seven caves within the forest reserve.
