The overview

About Aisle of Medellin

The Aisle of Medellin is a 7.5-kilometer, four-lane concrete highway that cuts straight through sugarcane fields in the municipality of Medellin, running from Barangay Dayhagon to Curva. It forms part of the route connecting Bogo City and Daanbantayan through northern Cebu, and its long, straight, tree-and-grass-lined stretch flanked by cane plantations has made it one of the more distinctive roads on the island. There are no formal attractions along the highway itself; the draw is the drive or ride through it. The road is a favorite among motorcycle riders and road-trippers doing a northern Cebu loop, and it is often photographed and filmed from drones for its geometric, plantation-lined symmetry. Roadside sari-sari stores and the occasional sugarcane truck are the main activity along the route.

Tips for visitors
  1. 1 Best experienced by motorbike, car, or habal-habal since it is a stretch of highway rather than a single site. Bring sun protection as there is little shade at midday. Watch for sugarcane trucks and passing traffic if stopping for photos. Location approximate — confirm on arrival.
