Shaky, slippery and scary. These were the first words that entered my head while I was crossing the Tigbao Hanging Bridge. Its railings made of steel and flooring of bamboo, this bridge isn’t really the most calming or the safest bridge in the world. But it was fun.

Suspended some 25 meters above the Loboc River, the Tigbao Hanging Bridge connects two barangays. Before the bridge was built, people living on the other side of the river had to climb down the cliff and ride a boat across the river to get to the highway.

The bridge itself isn’t really spectacular but it as certainly unique. The funny thing is that it sways back and forth as you walk on it so you’d surely hold on the railings whether you like it or not. The bamboo flooring also gets very slippery especially during or after the rain so you should really watch your steps. There is also a P10 entrance fee.

Crossing the twin bridges was quite an experience. It also offers a good view of the Loboc river. There’s also a souvenir shop on the other side of the bridge and this was where we found the cheapest souvenir items. The store at the entrance also sells Peanut Kisses at a very cheap price.

And oh, it was nice to watch my friends and other tourists chicken out and scream for their lives when somebody shook the bridge deliberately.
