Look who did the Zipline in Lake Sebu

Image
Tita Nida and I paired up! *** Julie-Ann went on a solo flight! *** Father and Mother did it together! *** We dit it! *** She did it! *** The heavyweights did it! YOU CAN DO IT TOO! For a fee of P250 for weeekdays and P300 for weekends, one can enjoy the zipline twice.  One in the 600 ft above the ground at 700 meters and 400 meters ride.  Please see related video posted earlier.

600 Ft above the ground: A video of the Forest and Falls of Lake Sebu

We enjoyed the zipline in Lake Sebu. With 600 feet above the ground, it is the highest zipline in Asia. And for a fee of P250 for weekdays and P300 for weekends, the tourist can enjoy two rides, the 700 meters and 400 meters ride. The video above is taken during my 700 meter ride. It was the more exhilirating ride of the two because the length of the ride allowed me to enjoy nature's lush beauty from above, albeit, how fast and furious. You should enjoy this too...

Lush Greeneries and Giant Falls of the Municipality of Lake Sebu, South Cotabato

I can't name what falls is this (I think this is the second falls because this was taken after we did the zipline. According to the tourism blog of Lake Sebu ,  this is called Hikong Bente and described as "standing majestically at 70 ft high, Falls 2 or Hikong Bente (others call it Dongon Falls) is located 40 meters from Falls 1 and can be reached by either hiking the 700+ steps, driving down the road or simply fly up in the air by means of a zipline ride!" *** This is the first falls. Since the early morning sun is against our camera, we did not have a decent shot of this falls. Moreover, the droplets from the falls partially blind our cameras! At any rate, we enjoyed the cool spray of waters. The tourism blog says of this falls, "n amed as "Hikong Alo" in T'boli, the first of the series of seven falls stands at 35 ft. It is also here at Falls 1 where thrill seekers can try flying up in the air and enjoy the breathtaking zipline ride -...

La Vista Highlands of San Carlos City in Negros Occidental

Image
My parents had a blast watching the breathtaking view of the Marapara and Kanlaon mountains and greeneries while sitting in the coffee area of La Vista Highlands in San Carlos City. *** The view of the mountains first enticed the owner Architect Albert Garbanzos  to buy and develop the property as he likened what he saw to Mt. Fuji of Japan.  According to the story, the original owner of the land  sold the 24 hectare property to him because of his good purpose of developing it into a resort and of preserving at least 10 percent of the land by planting trees. However, that is only half of the story because the original owners felt good about him and  it was as if the "diwata" or a mountain fairy has already told them whom to sell the land to.   (Continue below) *** This is what we came for. Although the sun is up at nine o'clock in the morning,  the breeze coming from the mountains was cool and refreshing. *** To fin...

Puerto Princesa City Tour: A visit to Rancho Zipline Adventure and Baker's Hill

Image
I enjoyed the pastoral view of the Rancho Zipline Adventure. It was nice to stay for more minutes but we started our tour late, so we hurried up as we still have more places to go and we also have to do pasalubong shopping within the day. *** Playing like they're no senior citizens at all. *** Joining the crowd. Who's the senior citizen here? *** A nice view with me on it. *** The Ranch... Exhilarating. Like fishes in the waters of Coron and El Nido, these are cows and horses in the mountains of Puerto Princesa. The zipline. *** The clubhouse of the Rancho. *** A photo of me at the garden of the Baker's Hill, famous for its hopia. *** My heart is full. *** He is in love? *** The Hopia for pasalubong. Tried their crinkles and they're highly recommended too.  The Pianono of Baker's Hill quenched my longing for this childhood bread. Mina...
