Another magnificent structure in Argao is the St. Michael the Archangel Parish Church. Both the parish and the church are named after the leaders of the angels, the archangel who fought against the evil forces.
St. Michael the Archangel Church is one of the oldest church and among the most impressive churches found in the entire island of Cebu. Actually, this is the second oldest church in the province.
In this peaceful town of Cebu, about 66 kilometers away from the main city, one finds the real taste of adventure.

It is a perfect destination for those who wanted to relieve stress by engaging in tough yet exciting excursions.
Aside from its stated wonders, Argao is known for its delectable Filipino delicacies; the tableya, torta and tuba. A tour in Argao without tasting these superb delicacies is a great disgrace.

Cebu, though a bustling metropolis has still many hidden secrets and surprises. Many are still waiting to be discovered and developed. In the sleepy town of Argao, who would think that it would be a best place for those who are looking for a real taste of adventure? Well, specially carved for cavers and spelunkers, a trek in “Balay Sa Agta” (House of Agta) is really a bold undertaking.
