Maasin City, nestled in Southern Leyte, offers a unique blend of history, culture, and natural beauty. Its name, derived from a Spanish misunderstanding, adds a touch of local charm to its appeal. Known for its devout faith, Maasin is a pilgrimage destination in Eastern Visayas.

The city's centerpiece, the Maasin Cathedral, stands as a testament to its rich history. Its modern interior contrasts beautifully with the antique façade. For a breathtaking view, climb the Jalleca Hills Shrine, the tallest in the country. Nature enthusiasts can explore the Cagnituan Falls, a hidden gem with an underground river.
