There are three popular peaks in the Mantalangon mountain range: Osme\u00f1a Peak (the popular one), Casino Peak (Osme\u00f1a Peak\u2019s sister), and Mt. Kadungaw (the hardest trek). You can do what they call the \u201ctri-peak\u201d climb hitting all three peaks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Osme\u00f1a Peak stands 1,013 meters above sea level, the highest mountain in Cebu. It\u2019s an easy climb, though the craggy terrain will test your determination\u2026and ankles.&nbsp; The trek will be worth it once you reach the peak and get a sunset or sunrise view peeking through the horizon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Osme\u00f1a Peak is one of the outdoor activities in Cebu that do not cost much. You can also try its sister peak, Casino Peak, located within the same Mantalongon mountain range.
