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. 

Sulfur Dipping Pool in Mambukal Mountain Resort

Mambukal Mountain  Resort is one of the best sulfur pool in Negros Occidental and 1,200 feet above sea level and serves as gateway to Mt. kanlaon. The area can accommodate as many guest at the same time. Dipping in the water will refresh your body and has a smooth feeling, this part of the resort will charged you P50 pesos for the adult and P20 pesos for 11 years old below. The water comes out naturally clear and odorless as well. I think the temperature  is about 38-43 degrees at the time. I’m not sure if it gets any higher.  Visit the Mambukal Mountain Resort and expect it's nature loving ambiance.

The resorts has two swimming pools, which is one of their facilities inside. Cottages has its own outdoor barbecue pit which people can enjoy their foods.  It also has an artificial lagoon and beautifully landscaped grounds. It was a nice place to stay especially for kids who wants to swim in the pool all the time The area has a shower room and covered area. The resort has  a functional halls which is available for guests traveling on business purpose or in a group trip, as it can accommodate up to 200 persons. Offering comfortable accommodation and friendly services with a full range of amenities. For my experience the resort is accessible and good value for money, best for family with children. The staff are fast and accommodating with smile and lifeguards are all around so its safe for children to play and explore.
