Catanduanes (island)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Catanduanes is the main island of Catanduanes Province.
Catanduanes is known to many as an island paradise. It lies east of the Bicol Peninsula. The island is bounded by the Maqueda Channel in the west, the Pacific Ocean on the north and east, and Lagonoy Gulf and Cabugao Bay on the south.
The general landscape of the island is hilly to mountainous, becoming more pronounced towards the central portion. Less than 10 percent of the land area has slope gradient under 8 percent, mostly fractured and narrow strips of plains dispersed near the coastal areas where most of the inhabitants are settled.
