Capital of the small volcanic island of Camiguin
The main town of Camiguin island in northern Mindanao, with a small airport and ferry ports linking to the mainland. The compact island is known for its volcanoes, springs and waterfalls.
Camiguin experienced destructive volcanic eruptions of Mount Vulcan in the 1870s that submerged a coastal cemetery, now marked by a cross offshore. Mambajao served as the island's administrative center.
