If you were hired to show tourists what life is really like where you live,
what would you show them or have them do?

A Trek to: Home


        The place where I live is not a great spot for tourists. Unless if they wish for a very long and tedious hike from the city going to our place, then it will be. Our place is not known despite the beautiful landscapes and all green ambiance it offers. However, there were few travelers who happened to pass by and would definitely take few photos of our fields and mountains while having a respite.

        No one will ever hire me as a tour guide, that's for sure. I'm not good at it but I can at least lead your way to some great places here. And I won't suggest going to our place either. There's nothing much to do in here other than being close to nature. Well, if that's what you like and if you will insist of going to our place then I'll be pleased to show our green covered mountains where clean, cold river runs freely on its foot. After a tiresome trek uphill, you can have a cold drink of spring water or if you wish for a sweet refreshment, we'll prepare sweetened macapuno and fresh buko (coconut) juice taken from our very own coconut plantation.

        Please take a look at these random photographs I took during my last visit in our place.















        Now if you want some cool and interesting spots worthy to visit, our country has lots to offer. It's just one google away and you'll find in there our proud mountain peaks, wonderful caves and breathtaking waterfalls.



FEATURED SPOT

PALAYPAY FALLS
A Spot Worth Visiting


        Located not far from our place, in the adjacent town of Pamplona, Negros Oriental there lies this inhabited and secluded place thrived with diverse flora and perhaps home to many undiscovered fauna - the Palapay Falls. It's only few kilometers drive from the capital city of Negros Oriental - Dumaguete. From the main town of Pamplona, head your way to Barangay Balayong and then proceed to a junction between Balayong and Barangay Dagaton. Follow the Dagaton road until you reach the end of the concrete paved road. The rest is already a rough road and is no longer accessible by car so you have to find a place to park in there and walk your way to the location. You may have to climb up the elevation until you hear the cascading sound of the waterfall. The hike might be exhaustive but once you arrive at the spot, it's all worth the pain.
