Negros Oriental's Absolute Essentials

Negros Oriental centers on the "City of Gentle People," Dumaguete, home to the historic Silliman University and the 18th-century St. Catherine of Alexandria Cathedral. The region’s volcanic terrain is defined by Mount Talinis and the sulfurous Red Rock Falls. Offshore, the Apo Island Protected Landscape and Seascape provides a sanctuary for sea turtles and diverse coral reefs. Natural landmarks like the 100-foot Casaroro Falls in Valencia offer high-altitude exploration, while the Malatapay market serves as a hub for local commerce and island transit.
