Hidden away in San Isidro, Surigao del Norte, Trogon’s Perch is a stunning resort and restaurant where nature’s beauty meets sustainability. Once considered a “garbage” land, it is now a peaceful escape just 20 minutes from Siargao’s airport—a perfect retreat away from the crowds.
🦜 A Name Inspired by a Legendary Bird
Trogon’s Perch is named after the Philippine trogon, a colorful bird endemic to Luzon, Visayas, and Mindanao, including the mountains of Surigao. Some believe this bird inspired the legendary Ibong Adarna, though historical records suggest the myth came from the Phoenix or Sarimanok.
The resort’s owners are committed to conserving this rare bird, whose habitat is threatened by deforestation, hunting, and mining. By spreading awareness, they hope to help protect the Philippine trogon for future generations.
