Where Natural Springs Are
Aside from the natural springs and attractions in Tuburan, Cebu, the municipality is also known as the birthplace of Cebu’s very first homegrown coffee. Merging its exquisite coffee beans and rich culture, coffee lovers will genuinely enjoy their varying caffeinated beverages and homemade crackers.
The Municipality of Sweet & Savory

Delicacies from the Copper City
Home to the country’s largest copper mine company, Toledo City prides itself as one of the fastest economically growing cities in the Philippines. The city is also the origin of the infamous “Puto Lancho” which is a sweet rice cake made from grounded young coconut and sugar.
