Twin Lakes Wonder: Balinsasayao Twin Lakes Natural Park

Great nature.

A trip you have to take

The natural park is very beautiful. To get there you have to take a jeepney next to the Caltex Station and tell the driver that you are going to the twin lakes so that he can notify you of the stop. Once there, take a habal-habal to go up (it is a motorcycle with a driver). Negotiate the price before raising, very important. Once there, I would tell you to take the boat to access the tower from where you can see the two lakes and also visit the waterfalls, pools, etc... There is a very uncomfortable trail route with very slippery stones that gives you access only to the tower and the second lake, it is not worth it.

Balinsasayao is center of sibulan and the most amazing is it's a twin lakes🤩

P120 entry, no swimming. Many posts said "take the boat". I say don't as you are missing out on a great hike (few rocky bits but easy grade if you are medium fit). Lovely jungle and great views along the way. From the view tower of both lakes I found a trail with steps but it seems it's for locals, a local with a machete was behind me, I asked if it's safe to walk he said "No" pointing at trees possibly warning about vipers. Don't take the risk without a guide, plenty of deadly snakes and no antivenom nearby= your dead. Overall great experience but marred by appauling service at Resto; I ordered a simple sandwich and fresh lumpia, after waiting 20 mins, group of 6 Pino's arrives laughing and joking, they were served immediately, I'm still waiting so I walked out. Unbelievable!
