Walking Tour at Bacolod City Plaza

After the mass at San Sebastian Church, I immediately cross the street where Bacolod  City Plaza is located. They also maintained because of the cleanest and most peaceful plaza. The plaza is a place for recreation, cultural activities and  the final destination of MassKara street dancing competition which is the highlight of the celebration. The City Hall is just about 300 meters away from the plaza. About a hundred meters to the south is the public market and department store around the area. It has a stagen in the center of plaza where used as performance area during events such as concerts and variety shows.  

San Sebastian Church in Bacolod City

The San Sebastian Church or Bacolod Cathedral is just beside at La Consolacion College and in front of Bacolod City plaza. This historical church accounts to provide a glimpse of the early years of Bacolod and it has a nice view outside. It is located in downtown Bacolod. It was originally a small chapel which became a cathedral in 1933 and a portrait of our country's old heritage. The massive bells & a very beautiful interior. I have always like church architectures and this one is truly spectacular. When you're in Bacolod, these is the recommended place to go and unwind.

How to get to Mambukal Mountain Resort in Murcia

Going to Mambukal Mountain Resort in Murcia Negros Occidental:

Here's are some tips to get there! This road trip is a suggestion of my friend who lives there!. From the Bacolod-Silay Airport take a bus bound to the city terminal of Bacolod then ask the driver to drop you off where the jeepney going to Libertad Market , about 20-30 minutes travel from Silay City where you will find mini-bus bound to Mambukal. This is non-conditioned bus going to Mambukal which costs P35 pesos per person. Just tell the conductor that you’ll get off at Mambukal Mountain Resort in Murcia Negros Occidental. Travel time is about 1 hour and a half, which the bus stops in front of Mambukal Mountain Resort.  Go inside the resort and pay some entrance fees. I stopped at their Tourist Information Office to get a brochure and map as well. Enjoy and happy travel. :-)

Second Waterfalls in Mambukal Mountain Resort, Negros Occidental

On my way to the second waterfalls. It is beautiful and relaxing ambiance.  I'll take this advantage of traveling our beloved Philippines. See my next post which I tour the city proper of Bacolod City. 

First Waterfalls in Mambukal Mountain Resort,Negros Occidental

Mambukal Mountain Resort is at the foot of Kanlaon Volcano located at Murcia, Negors Occidental, Philippines.I  had my first trek in the resort. This mountain resort is a 24-hectare pleasure park popular with family groups. It is popular for its seven falls. I'm almost certain that I will love the place and I was not mistaken which is surrounded by trees and plants. The trails is awesome and except that it's sometimes slippery and uphill but otherwise, it's like a walking in the park. I reach the first falls at last, I take some photos and proceed to the second falls. Continue. . .

Trekking at Mambukal Falls in Murcia Negros Occidental

Trekking in the falls is more fun in the Philippines. There are 7 falls in Mambukal Mountain Resort, I want to share some of my treks there.  After eating my brunch at their restaurant. I walked towards the falls but I visit just the first and the second waterfalls but sadly, swimming was prohibited because the pool was 15 feet deep and cold water. In the trekking experience, I saw a lot of trees and you can also find their canopy walk and zipline.  There is no additional entrance fee when you are going to the falls but  optional you can hire a tour guide and it's your choice to give the guide for a tip. It was an awesome experience for me and I really want to go back soon.
