Central Visayas, Administrative region in western Philippines.

Central Visayas encompasses four provinces: Bohol, Cebu, Negros Oriental, and Siquijor, with Cebu City serving as the regional capital point.

The region marks the location where Ferdinand Magellan first arrived in 1521, initiating the Spanish colonial period in the Philippine archipelago.

The Sinulog Festival in Cebu brings thousands of participants together annually to perform traditional dances and ceremonies honoring Santo Niño.

The region maintains direct flights from Manila to multiple airports, including Mactan-Cebu International Airport, which connects to international destinations.

Bohol province contains 1,260 symmetrical limestone formations called Chocolate Hills that turn brown during dry months, creating a distinct landscape pattern.
