Lake Balinsasayao

Lake Balinsasayao is the twin of Lake Danao, in Sibulan, Negros Oriental, Philippines


This trip's travel info:

  • Getting there (from Dumaguete City):
    • Highway travel time - 20-30 minutes, inclusive of the usual traffic.
    • Rural road travel time - 1 hour (at least 50% is cemented/asphalted)
    • Walking travel time - 2 minutes (This is simply the time it takes to go down to the lake from the parking lot. Quite short since the site is easily reached by vehicles.)
  • Entrance fee - P30 (vehicle) & P10 /person.
  • Highlights of the place
    • A 76-hectare lake where you can boat, swim or simply marvel at.
  • Things you should bring
    • something to shoot images with
    • bottled water
  • Things you may want to bring
    • food
    • swimming gear
    • life-vest (it's a lake and, hence, buoyant force is less than in sea water!)

Welcome

Don't let the sun catch you indoors!

In this part of the planet, Sunday is regarded as a perfect time to take a break from daily toils; to spend time with friends, family, and oneself; to commune with one's Creator and to experience the wonders of His Creation.

In the succeeding posts, we will be sharing with you our little brand of sunday adventure. We will try to be as informative as can be done concisely. Who knows when you might end up on this side of the world? Then our posts can serve as one of your references as to where to go and what to see when you're in the Philippines.

Since we are residing in Dumaguete City, all trips will originate from here. Hopefully, our posts will aid you in your future exploration of the territory and its surrounding terrain.

Enjoy! And remember, Don't let the sun catch you indoors!
