Information about Tudela
Tudela
Tudela is a quiet municipality in Cebu Province, located on the eastern part of Poro Island within the Camotes Islands. Known for its laid-back atmosphere, Tudela provides a glimpse into traditional Filipino island life, making it an attractive destination for those looking to explore a less-commercialized part of the Camotes. The town's local economy relies largely on agriculture and fishing, and it is culturally distinct, with many residents speaking Cebuano and the endangered Porohanon language, which is unique to the area.
The region offers unique natural attractions. Tudela is close to Busay Falls, which is nestled within the dense forest and offers natural pools ideal for swimming. Additionally, the Timubo and Bukilat caves nearby feature dramatic caverns and clear, swimmable waters, which are popular among both locals and tourists. Visitors to Tudela often explore these caves and springs as part of an island-hopping or motorbike tour around Camotes.
Best Time to Visit
The ideal time to visit Tudela is during the dry season, from November to May, when the weather is sunny and stable, making the falls and outdoor attractions easily accessible. Avoiding the rainy season (June to October) is recommended, as transportation to and from the islands can be affected by heavy rains and rough seas.
