Sibulan Backyard Herb Gardens
Description
Barangay-level herb and medicinal plant gardens near Sibulan foothills. In Sibulan, the town immediately north of Dumaguete, foothills running down to the strait. Kakanin are made at barangay level and sold in the market and by roadside vendors — puto, biko, bibingka, budbud, suman. Here they’re morning food rather than dessert, eaten with sikwate or native coffee. Go early; the good ones sell out before the market quietens.
Tips
Don"t assume Dumaguete handles all arrivals — the airport and the Cebu ferry port are both here, so build the transfer into your timing. Best treated as part of an arrival or departure day rather than a separate trip.
Stops
Dumaguete–Valencia Food Belt
How to get there
10-15 minutes by tricycle from central Dumaguete, or your first stop if arriving by air or by ferry from Cebu.
Best Times
Morning for port and fishing activity; otherwise no strong time-of-day pull.
