Mabukal Mountain Resort

The Mambukal mountain resort is a popular summer destination here in Bacolod City. It is located in Murcia, just 30 minutes away from our house. I've been there countless times but can't get enough of the place.

Mambukal has everything for everybody. It features lots of amenities that will surely make your visit an enjoyable one. I'll try to show you what to expect in Mambukal through my photos. I'm not a professional photographer, but doing my best to take nice photos :)

Mambukal has 7 falls. You need strong knees to climb the mountain and see these falls. Only a few manage to reach the 7th falls (yes, I've reached it after 3 visits). Pictured above is the 2nd falls. I think this is the nicest of the 7, but most try to go farther to 7th falls, just for the thrill of it. By the way, you can't go swimming in this falls because of falling rocks.

 

 This is the the 7th falls. Not really that nice compared to the 2nd falls, but the feeling of reaching it is so overwhelming. It's an achievement to be able to climb that far. As I've told you, you need very strong knees to get here because it's on top of the mountain. Good for hikers and adveturers.

 

Mambukal also has a hanging bridge. Nope, never tried it. Maybe on my next visit. You need to pay 50 pesos to use this bridge, and it's quite safe because you will be fastened with a harness.

 

This is one of the swimming pools. This is exclusive for those who stay overnight in Mambukal resort. They also have a public pool both for kids and adults.

  

Mambukal resort also offers boating. For 30 pesos, you can paddle around this lagoon for 30 minutes. Yes. you'll be the one to paddle the boat, don't worry it's very easy. 

Since Mambukal resort is at the foot of a volcano, you can see lots of boiling water everywhere, and the place smells of sulfur. This one is the hot spring. No swimming or touching here unless you want to be a dressed chicken :). Yup, the water here is very hot, boiling temp I think.

This is the dipping pool. They say it's a therapeutic pool, best for those who have arthritis and other illnesses. Majority of people you can see here are old ones :) The water here is hot, but tolerable, if you have thick skin. Entrance fee is 50 pesos.

There are still lots to see and do at Mambukal mountain resort. There's the bat watching, butterflly garden, zip line or slide for life (for those who love extreme sports) and wall climbing. Visit the place with your friends and enjoy all these!
