During our family’s recent vacation, my mother and sister traveled all the way from Iligan City to Cebu to join us for a much-needed getaway. With everyone together, we decided to explore one of Cebu’s hidden gems: Buwakan Ni Alejandra, a breathtaking flower garden located along the Transcentral Highway in Gaas, Balamban.
The Journey to a Picturesque Paradise
The drive up the winding roads of the Transcentral Highway was already an adventure in itself. As we ascended, the air grew cooler, and the stunning mountain views set the tone for the serene experience awaiting us. Upon arriving at Buwakan Ni Alejandra, we were greeted by a vibrant display of colors from the countless flowers that filled the garden.
