From Bacolod City we rode a bus to Canlaon City at about 7 pm. There is no aircon bus so we rode the regular one. It was a long and bumpy ride and we arrived at about 10 in the evening. We had dinner and prepare our stuff for the next day because we have to start early.
First thing's first, chase the sunrise!
We were actually approached by a local who offered to tour us around for 300 pesos. Since again we were in a hurry, we accepted the offer though I could have waited for my cousins to tour us. But anyway, it happened already and these are the scenery along the way.
This is facing Cebu.
There are plenty of vegetables in the area. Canlaon is one of the major providers of vegetables in the Visayas area.
This is a shot taken near my aunt's house. That's the peak and the crater. There is no vegetation growing near the peak due to the volcanic conditions in the area. It is best that you wake up early in the morning because the clouds are not covering the mountain yet.
After this we had our breakfast and were preparing to go to San Carlos City, but then my cousin offered to tour us around and he brought us to OISCA Farm. The succeeding photos are taken from the farm.
That's a century old balete tree, they say. There is a log book for guests. It is best to travel during off peak season since we get to enjoy these places by ourselves. We get to take plenty of pictures with lining up and no photobombers at all.
This is probably the place which has the best view of all. The man made lake is about 10 meters deep, and Japanese soldiers used to hide treasures there and left the farm to the locals, they say. This is also where I lost my digital camera. Huhuhu!
Next time, we'll have to challenge ourselves with climbing to the crater of the volcano. The road we trudged was not the best road to travel at all but it was fun and full of adventure. Next stop is San Carlos City.
