The
municipality of San Francisco is located along the Northeastern part of
the province of Agusan del Sur, embraced with the God-gift Mt.
Magdiwata that serves as a shield during catastrophic typhoons, the
landmark of the province of Agusan del Sur and also the main source of
potable water in the municipality. San Franciscans are fortunate enough
to have this legendary mountain and its ranges, because aside from the
abundance of its flora and fauna, Mt. Magdiwata recently was discovered
to be rich in natural wonders that make it more interesting both in
eco-tourism and scientific research. Several mountain trails had been
established and each trail has its corresponding natural captivating
beauty.
Mount
Magdiwata has an area of 1,658 hectares and a height of 633 meters
above sea level. In the base of the Mt. Magdiwata you will see the
biggest Toog tree in the Philippines -(Family
Name-lycythidaceae/Scientific Name-combretodenton quadrialutom) and
measures365 meters in diameter & 65 meters in height

It is a 30 minutes ride from the Municipality of San Francisco to Barangay Lucac proper then an hour’s hike to the cave entrance. A solution type cave bests for expert exploration and research activities. Presence of stalagmites and stalactites inside the cave; wherein “sayaw” bird nests can also be found
It is one of the most attractive waterfalls in Agusan del Sur. It is located at the middle of the jungle with fresh waters coming from the natural springs. Right now, it is being developed to appear like a suitable swimming pool. Through this, peoples from the nearby towns started flocking and enjoy the clear cold water emitting from the deep of the earth flowing onto a rock of limestone
ANINGAW CAVE
To the Lumads, this is known as Aningaw Cave, from Manobo term “Aningaw” which means echo because when somebody talks, the voice will echo due to the high-rise rocks that surround the cave. The external view of this cave is characterized by big and high-rise rocks of gothic design, while the inside is characterized by big chambers reinforced by century-old adjoining stalactites and stalagmites. These chambers are so spacious that can be developed into function rooms. One chamber portrayed the image of Virgin Mary and the other is the chamber of thousands of Bats while the ground is carpeted with thick guano (Bats manure) and a good natural fertilizer. The ceiling of the cave is a solid rock that can be compared to a special panel due to its artistic holes that serves as incubator of baby Bats and imaginative view of the cave. Few meters away from this cave is the giant and mysterious rock, sinking cave (Beto) and numerous unexplored caves. The area of the cave is about 5,000 square meters and generally a dry cave
Barobo. it is a town almost 15 kilometers from the town of san francisco . It is a community beside the river that goes out to the sea. Most of the residents make dried fish. But then, “dangit” is not in season, but they got other dried fish. Mama bought 4 plastic packs, only to regret after tasting it, it taste good, and she should have bought more
