The overview
About Casino Peak
Casino Peak, also known as Lugsangan Peak, is one of the most photogenic mountains in Cebu. Located in Dalaguete just a five-minute drive from Osmeña Peak, it features dramatic grass-covered hills that have earned comparisons to the Chocolate Hills of Bohol. The peak offers a different perspective from its more famous neighbor, with rolling green hills that create stunning layers in photographs. The terrain is perfect for those Instagram-worthy shots, with the undulating landscape providing natural leading lines and depth. The hike is short but steep and rocky, taking about 15-25 minutes to reach the summit. The trail passes through vegetation before opening up to the spectacular hilltop views.
