It is geographically part of Region X, the [[Northern Mindanao]] [[Regions of the Philippines|Region]] of the country and formerly a part of [[Misamis Oriental]] province. Camiguin is the second-smallest province in the country in both population and land area after [[Batanes]].<ref name="About"/> The provincial capital is [[Mambajao, Camiguin|Mambajao]], which is also the province's largest municipality in both area and population.{{PSGC detail|nscb}} The province is famous for its sweet [[lanzones]], to which its annual Lanzones Festival is dedicated and celebrated every third weekend of October. It is home to lush interior forest reserves, collectively known as the [[Mount Hibok-Hibok]] Protected Landscape, which has been declared by all Southeast Asian nations as an [[ASEAN Heritage Park]]. The province also boasts three National Cultural Treasures, namely, the Old Bonbon Church ruins in Catarman, the Sunken Cemetery of Catarman, and the Spanish-era watchtower in Guinsiliban. The three sites were declared for “possessing outstanding historical, cultural, artistic and/or scientific value which is highly significant and important to the country and nation.” Additionally, the island province has numerous Important Cultural Treasures, such as the Old Mambajao Fountain - situated in the town's rotonda, the Old Mambajao Municipal Building, the façade of the Santo Rosario Church in Sagay, and 14 heritage and ancestral houses. The sites were declared for “having exceptional cultural, artistic and historical significance to the Philippines.” All cultural treasures were declared by the [[National Commission for Culture and the Arts]]. There have been moves to establish a dossier nomination for the province to be included in the [[UNESCO World Heritage List]].<ref name="auto">{{Cite web|url=https://lifestyle.inquirer.net/317736/camiguin-church-ruins-sunken-cemetery-declared-national-cultural-treasures/|title=Camiguin church ruins, Sunken Cemetery declared National Cultural Treasures|date=December 16, 2018|website=Inquirer Lifestyle}}</ref> Camiguin is sometimes called '''Camiguin Sur''' ("South Camiguin") or '''Camiguin de Mindanao''' to distinguish it from [[Camiguin de Babuyanes]] of the [[Babuyan Islands]], which in turn is referred to as [[Camiguin Norte]] ("North Camiguin").
