This is a perfect trip for travelers who want to experience the province's heritage as you will visit spots like Magellan's Shrine and the Lapu-Lapu Monument.

After your guide fetches you from your accommodation in Cebu City or on Mactan Island, you will start making your way to Magellan's Shrine. Located in Lapu-Lapu City, the shrine commemorates Portuguese explore Ferdinand Magellan. The site of the shrine itself is where some people believe he was killed during the Battle of Mactan in 1521 when local tribes led by Lapu-Lapu defended Cebu from the invasion of a Spanish armada headed by Magellan.
From there, you will travel a short distance to where the Lapu-Lapu Monument stands. This 20-meter-high bronze sculpture honors Lapu-Lapu, the Philippines' first national hero, in full battle gear. Along with the shrine and the monument, the whole park honors the historic Battle of Mactan.

On top of selling high-quality handmade guitars here, the factory and its staff offer walk-throughs of the whole process of crafting these six-string instruments.
