A 7.5-km straight highway through sugarcane fields linking Barangay Dayhagon to Curva in Medellin.
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.
What makes it worth it

- Popular motorcycle and road-trip route
- Scenic aerial/drone photography spot
- Connects toward Bogo and Daanbantayan
- Roadside sari-sari stores
