Sevilla Twin Hanging Bridge, Bamboo footbridge in Sevilla, Philippines
The Sevilla Twin Hanging Bridge is a footbridge made from bamboo and steel cables spanning across the Sipatan River. Two parallel walkways hang above the water, allowing visitors to cross safely while taking in views of the river below.
Originally, a simple bamboo crossing existed here that local people used in the early 1900s to cross the river. As more visitors arrived over time, a second bridge was added alongside it to handle the increased foot traffic.
The bridge was built by craftspeople from the area who pass down their knowledge of bamboo construction to each generation. Visitors can see how traditional techniques blend with modern safety measures in the structure today.
Visit early in the morning or late in the afternoon when there are fewer people and the light is best. Wear sturdy shoes with good grip, as the bamboo can become slippery when wet.
Children swim in the turquoise waters below the bridges, using the river as a natural pool and gathering spot. This reminds visitors that the place remains woven into everyday community life beyond tourism.
