On one of our last days in Dauin, with our daughter, we wanted to explore the sights around Valencia and I wanted to film. After a few errands in the town of Dumaguete, we first drove to Forest Camp. A wonderfully natural tourist facility, built into a river. For those who don’t dare enter a real jungle, there is an extensive area with several swimming pools, suspension bridges, huts and seating areas where you can relax to the sound of water and the natural chirping of tropical birds.
A special feature are the kawas, which are large woks that stand on stones so that you can make a fire underneath. For guests, these are filled with water and perhaps the water is decorated with fragrant flowers, after which you can sit down individually or in groups in the warming water and bask.
There are probably more people here at weekends than on the day we were here during the week. My two ladies, mother and daughter, made themselves comfortable in the adjoining restaurant and ordered native food ranging from chicken soup to fish dishes.
