Cari amici la natura approfitta della pandemia per riprendersi i suoi spazi. Le acque filippine, libere dai visitatori, sono state popolate dalle meduse. Le chiamiamo ” sea tomatoes”, cioè pomodori marini e questi animali emergono in superficie, perchè, in questo tempo Covid, non si sentono minacciate dalla presenza dei turisti. Quando ero piccola sono stata punta da una medusa e ho un ricordo spiacevole di quell’incontro in acqua. Esiste un solo posto dove le meduse sono innocue e galleggiano tranquillamente con i bagnanti. Si tratta della bellissima baia di Sohoton nell isola di Siargao! Provate per credere!
Sohoton Cove has a different kind of mystery because it leans on scientific mysteries other than supernatural. Jellyfish stings and that is a fact. But in Sohoton Cove, visitors can dive with thousands of jellyfish without getting killed. You’ll feel transformed into a different world once you see these gelatinous creatures swim with you, while you explore the sparkling emerald-green waters of the lake. The surrounding ecosystem of thick mangrove and endemic birds adds to the enchantment of the lake. If by chance, you are not allowed to swim in the jellyfish sanctuary because of your sunblock, you can explore the Hagukan Cave that only appears during low tide. So, how did the jellyfish appear in the cove? No one knows. But experts suggest that like the Jellyfish Lagoon in Palau, the jellyfish in Sohoton Cove were washed after the sea water began to fill the lagoon with water. Eventually, the creatures lost their sting due to the lack of predator.
