location
Lanuza is the southernmost area of a relatively closed region called CarCanMadCarLan ( Carrascal , Cantilan , Madrid , Carmen , Lanuza). Neighboring communities are Carmen in the northwest, Cortez in the east and the provincial capital Tandag City in the south. The eastern part of the northern border forms the Bay of Lanuza , which is part of the Philippine Sea .
economy
Agriculture, especially rice cultivation and coconut palms as well as pigs, chickens and fishing are essential livelihoods of the largely conservative Catholic population. Lack of capital and inadequate infrastructure, as well as low purchasing power, make it difficult to set up businesses.
tourism
Lanuza has hardly been developed for tourism, but is taking sustainable measures for its development. Lanuza Bay offers good wind conditions for surfers, especially in the months between November and March. An international surfing competition takes place every November. Special emphasis is placed on the cleanliness of the community and an intact nature, which is expressed by the slogan "Green and Clean Lanuza". Not least because of its remote location, the Lanuza is a safe place with low crime.
In Lanuza the so-called Agsam jewelry is made. These are creepers woven into ornaments , which are artfully crafted into jewelry. The defoliated plants are treated in clay for a few days beforehand in order to maintain their stability and their typical brownish color. Noteworthy sights include the 15-meter-high Magkawas waterfall in the middle of a graceful flora and the cave labyrinth of Campamento.
history
Lanuza is shown as Lanuyo on a map of the cantilan from 1802, which covered the entire area of Carcanmadcarlan. It was considered a landing point for seafarers and traders. At that time, some smaller settlements in the area of today's Lanuza were already noted, which still exist today as Sitios , including Capadian.
traffic
The township is crossed by the concrete coast road Surigao - Tandag . The closest airport is in Tandag , the two larger ones in Surigao and Butuan .
