Lake Danao

Lake Danao in Camotes Island, Cebu is known to be the largest lake in the Visayas and Mindanao.

The total size of the lake is 680 hectares. The shape of the lake is a number 8 or some say, a shape of a guitar.

This place used to be full of crocodiles until they were all hunted down and their hides were sold in Mindanao to produce bags, shoes, and belts out of crocodile skin. It contains fresh water and still is abundant with fish. Meanwhile the Bureau of Fisheries hold their office here. And we can still buy a variety of fresh water fish which is also dried and sold as a dried fish speciality from the island.
