Ili Rock Viewing Deck

 







Boljoon is one of picturesque town in south Cebu which is rich in culture and nature-wonders.
One of those, is the known Ili Rock Viewing Deck.
It is a natural rock formation that greets visitors as they enter the southern heritage town of Boljoon. The limestone cliff was once used as a natural fortress by natives living in the area.
The viewing decks both offer an excellent view of Boljoon, the sea, and the islands of Bohol and Siquijor.

Currently, there is no entrance fee. There is also a parking space where visitors can leave their vehicles as they go to the viewing decks. 

If you can’t stand too much heat or extended exposure to the sun, it is best to visit there early in the morning or in the afternoon.
The viewing deck doesn’t have tall trees or structures so it is wise to bring an umbrella, a hat, or a piece of cloth.

The place is perfect for your instagram over-looking view post!

Happy sight-seeing! ❤
