Photo of the Day for April 09, 2024 – Relaxing in the waters of the refreshing Hinutungan River in Sibulan

As the golden sun began its slow descent behind the rugged peaks of the mountainous hinterlands of Sibulan, Negros Oriental, three women and a young girl enjoying the refreshing waters of the Hinutungan River, their laughter echoing through the serene surroundings. They had spent the weekend immersed in the natural beauty of the mountains.     To get to such places on Negros Island, it is advisable for visitors to be independent of public transport, as some beautiful places are almost impossible to get to without your own transport, be it a motorbike or a car. SIGHTS OF NEGROS recommends taking advantage of the many and recurring promos of RODG Rent a Car Dumaguete. Now, as they prepared to head back to the city, their hearts were filled with the memories of their time spent in the mountains. The young girl, her face beaming with joy, splashed playfully in the water, while the women watched on with fondness and affection. As they looked out over the valley, their gaze stretched beyond the lush greenery to the distant horizon where the sea met the sky. In the distance, they could see the coastal town of Bais City, its buildings nestled along the shoreline, bathed in the warm glow of the setting sun. In that moment, surrounded by the beauty of nature and the company of loved ones, they felt a sense of peace and contentment wash over them. Though their weekend in the mountains was coming to an end, they knew that the memories they had created would stay with them forever, a reminder of the beauty and magic of the mountains of Negros Oriental.   See the video of an enjoyable weekend in the mountains of Sibulan: WEEKEND TRIP to the MOUNTAIN VIEW of SIBULAN

Weekend in the mountains of Sibulan

Weekend in the mountains of Sibulan

We accepted the offer from good friends and were able to look forward to a wonderful weekend in the mountains of Sibulan, Negros Oriental. Early in the morning on a Saturday, we loaded up the car for the trip and picked up plenty of beer and ice on the way. Later passing through Tanjay City, before heading to Pamplona, we bought some meat for barbeque at the local market. To get to this highland area of Sibulan, you have to drive from Dumaguete through Sibulan on national road 7 via San Jose and Amlan and then turn off onto the road to Pamplona inland in Tanjay City. After that, I lost my bearings on the small side roads, where we had to turn off every now and then and which were sometimes very bad.       We were there at lunchtime and when the freshly prepared kinilaw (raw fish cooked in vinegar) arrived at the table, it wasn’t long before the first ice-cold beer appeared in our hands. Over coffee and beer, we enjoyed the sweeping view across the plain to Bais City. When it got dark, karaoke was sung and the weekend was celebrated. The morning began with another great view, until the group prepared for departure again. This was delayed with a picnic and a dip in the cool waters of the river below the weekend home. But that is yet another small experience in the mountains of Sibulan.       I have captured the full experience in the following video – here ->> WEEKEND TRIP to the MOUNTAIN VIEW of SIBULAN
