Mt. Kapayas is located in the northern part of Cebu, in Catmon. It is believed to be Cebu's second highest peak - with an elevation of 783 meters above sea level. The hike to Mt. Kapayas would usually take a whole day including the hours spent for transport from the city.

Kapayas, it is encouraged to settle the permits from the town proper so as to orient the locals and mountain rangers about your entry. According to stories told by locals, Mt.
