Siquijor, Island province in Central Visayas, Philippines.

The third smallest province of the Philippines spans 327 square kilometers of land surrounded by crystal waters near Bohol and Negros Oriental.

Spanish colonizers named the island Isla del Fuego in the 16th century due to the natural light produced by fireflies in molave trees.

The San Isidro Labrador Church, constructed in 1884, represents the fusion of Spanish colonial architecture with Philippine religious traditions.

Two public seaports and multiple ferry connections from Cebu, Bohol, and Dumaguete provide access to the island throughout the year.

Traditional healers maintain practices dating back generations, gathering medicinal herbs at Mount Bandilaan during the March healing festival.
