Canlaon Public Market

Description

Mountain town market drawing from highland and foothill barangays. In Canlaon, the mountain city on Kanlaon’s slopes, the highest farming country on the island. Public markets here run hardest before 8am, when the night’s catch is in and upland produce has just come down; by late morning it’s mostly dry goods and leftovers. Prices are negotiable in the wet and dry sections. Worth a stop for muscovado, tablea and native sweets at market rather than shop prices — bring small notes and your own bag.

Tips
Highest farming country on the island and correspondingly cool — the market draws from barangays most visitors never reach. Combine with Kanlaon"s northern trailheads if you"re hiking.
Stops
Northern Sugar & Seafood Corridor
How to get there
On the main highway route through this part of the island; Ceres buses and jeepneys serving the corridor pass through.
Best Times
Early morning — markets, landings and roadside stalls all run hardest before 8am.
