    Mount LuhoIt is well known as the highestelevation and most impressiveviewpoint on Boracay Island at100 metres above sea level.

    The Dead ForestSitting at the southern end ofBulabog Boracay Beach, lies theDead Forest where deadmangrove roots reach strangelyout of the water. The mangrovesare said to have died when thefishpond dam broke and seawater flooded the pond. Thesegenerate silhouettes, which pierce the landscape in abewitched manner. They make for some impressivesnapshots, and certainly worthy of a bizarre experience.
