Mount Talinis, also known as the Cuernos de Negros, is a complex volcano in the Philippine province of Negros Oriental. At about 1,903 metres above sea level, it is the second highest mountain on Negros Island after Mount Kanlaon. A longtime favorite Visayan destination of mountaineers is Mt. Talinis in Southern Negros, otherwise known as “Cuernos de Negros” for the horn-like peaks that highlight the mountain. It holds its position as the second highest mountain in Negros, next only to the lofty Kanlaon. It is not surprising that Talinis is the only mountain other than Mt. Apo to have become twice the venue of the annual MFPI Federation climbs, among other activities. Its only impediment is the perennial rumor of NPA presence, but as of 2009, it is perfectly safe to climb Talinis. There are several trails but the most typical, and comprehensive enough, route is a traverse from the Bediao trail in Dauin, Negros Oriental, to Apolong. The roster of places to see is formidable: first is Lake Yagumyum with the optional ascent to Yagumyum Peak; then, passing by the mystical maribuhok forests, one reaches the higher and grander Lake Nailig. From this lagoon there is again the option to scale Nailig Peak, otherwise known as Talinis Dako i.e. the highest point in the mountain. Finally, on the way down via the Apolong Route, pass by the sulphuric river and the Twin Falls of Talinis before ending in the grand cascade of Casaroro Falls, the highest in Negros at over 90 meters. A destination by itself, Casaroro Falls is a fitting conclusion to the Talinis experience. #urbanexplorer #maydaytrip

Dumaguete is referred to as a university city because of the presence of four universities and a number of other colleges where students of the province converge to enroll for tertiary education. ...

When inside the Church compound, you will notice that the walls were designed with Dragon statues. #scenicspotguide#nyedestinations#holidayvacation#travelstories

DUMAGUETE CITY ✨ I've been to Dumaguete City 5 times already. First time was when we had a vacation in Valencia, and the last 2 times were to get my and my boyfriend's passports. Dumaguete is a humble city. It has a lot going on there. There old church is beautiful. They have the famed Siliman University. And many more. #wintergetaway

The Forest Camp: Valencia’s Best Nature Resort ✨ Before going to Casaroro Falls, we stayed in the Forest Camp for hours. The time spent in the Forest Camp is worth it because of how relaxing the whole place is. Their food, facilities, the small natural pools, the greens. 🌳✨ #wintergetaway

Valencia's Casaroro Falls is still #1 in my Best Philippine Falls list. ✨ This gem is so pristine and authentic that you will never forget about it after you see it in person. The cold water, the scenic view, the intimidating feeling of being in Casaroro Falls is just a different level of experience. I really thank my friends for bringing me there. ♥️ #wintergetaway
