Sipatan Hanging Bridge is another destination that you could see in Bohol.
This hanging bridge is made out of bamboo woven together in slats and cable wires. It looks so fragile yet it is strong enough to hold numbers of passersby all together in one crossing. Your every step makes the bridge bounce up and down thus giving my kids more excitement and a little bit scary for me ha ha ha 😂😂😂.
This bridge is used to connect one barangay to another by crossing the lovely crystal emerald green water of Sipatan River. They made another bridge to lessen the foot traffic and making it a one-way journey system- crossing the other and returning on the other bridge.

The span of Sipatan Bridge is about 40 meters above the Sipatan River. The original purpose of this bridge is to help local residents to transport their farm produce and livestock products across the river. As of this day, it is still used by local residents for easy access to the other side of the river.
You can found souvenir shops on the other side of the bridge, selling local products and delicacies that you could take home to your loved ones.
