| Gui-ob Church Ruins |
The Gui-ob Church ruins is a Spanish colonial era Church which was over-run by lava from Mt. Vulcan's eruption last 1875. Similar to Cagsawa Ruins at Albay which was destroyed by Mayon, Gui-ob church of Camiguin maintains its bell tower and pillars in tact and reminds the people of today the destruction of a volcanic eruption.
What was once a destructive past is now replaced with green grass and a beautiful scenery. The Church ruins is located at Bonbon town at Camiguin just passed the Sunken Cemetery.
Entrance to the Ruins is P10/person and be enchanted with the view as it is just beside the stony shore of the western side of Camiguin.
As a replacement of the ruined church, a small chapel was built within the ruins to give Mass service to Catholics within the area.

As you get at the back of the ruins, you can see the belltower, a very old tree (probably more than a hundred years old, and a modern solar-powered lighthouse to guide boats coming from Dumaguete on their way to the mainland Mindanao.
