Cauayan Native Fruit Trees

Description

Backyard fruit trees in coastal barangays. In Cauayan, a southwest coastal town north of Sipalay. Backyard and smallholder fruit rather than commercial orchards — mango, guava, santol, duhat, rambutan, calamansi depending on the month. What’s piled at roadside stalls at any given time is what’s actually ripe nearby, which is the plainest way to read the season.

Tips
Danjugan Island is the reason most people come, and trips need arranging in advance rather than turning up. Punta Bulata is the base for it. Fish drying sheds are along the shore road and visible without stopping.
Stops
Western Coastal Food Chain
How to get there
Southwest coastal highway, about 4 hours from Bacolod; Punta Bulata is signposted off the main road.
Best Times
Early morning for the fishing villages and fish drying; daytime for Danjugan trips.
