Manila Guide Online

Just across Cebu is a huge island set before my eyes. It has a beautiful city and every holidays I long to discover more about this vast and glorious place. It is filled with small cafes and bistro just across the boulevard overlooking the oceans and ships. This city is Negros City. Dumaguete City is the capital of Negros City. There are so many things to discover at Dumaguete. Upon reaching Dumaguete by boat, you can reach Sibulan where it is famous for its Twin Lakes.

The town’s most popular attraction is located in Enrique Villanueva, Sibulan, the twin lakes is located about 20 km from the town center and situated 1,000 meters above sea level, the entrance to this is actually accessible from the next town, San Jose.

 The two inland bodies of water, Lakes Balinsasayaw and Danao, are surrounded by lush tropical forests, with dense canopies, cool and refreshing air, crystal clear mineral waters with brushes and grasses in all hues of green. Biodiversity in the area is known to be one of the richest in the Philippines. 

The lakes are separated by a narrow ridge with no visible outlets to the sea. To get from Lake Balinsasayaw and Lake Danao and back there are row boats and kayaks available for rent.

The area is surrounded by lush tropical greens and vegetation. Age old trees, giant ferns and other exotic plants and orchids are among its natural inhabitants. Wild rare vines freely cling to the barks of the trees. The Almagica Tree, the tallest tree of the Philippines growing up to 60 meters tall, can still be found here. It is also the habitat of many rare species like the Japanese Night Heron whose presence in the vicinity was recorded in the 1970s. The dipterocarp forest is rich in bird life.

Sibulan famous for its rich diversity has made a splendid way of attracting people to visit Mother Earth and interact with them.
