Activities to do
1. Climb the 7 Waterfalls
There are 7 waterfalls that you can visit. You can either start from
the main starting point in Mambukal Resort where you trek going up or
the starting point from the top which you can ride the motorcycle going down when you choose the former.
From the bottom, you need to sign your name first and can have a volunteer guide (but will ask a tip after) with you. The hanging bridge, which was not in use, is seen as you climbed to the 1st waterfalls. The 4th waterfalls, at that time, was not visible as the pathway going there was destroyed by the typhoon. Then, there are some waterfalls that you can take a dip. Entrance fee: Donation to the volunteer guide Allotment time: 2 hours
2. Dip in the Sulfur Spring
Try the hot spring with some sulfur to feel relax. Sulfur is a mineral which is essential to our body. It was hot that it took me maybe 20 minutes before my body was totally soaked.
Entrance fee: P50 for adults
3. Visit the Butterfly Garden
See different species of butterflies and discover their life cycle in the Butterfly Garden. Good for Instagram-able photos.
Entrance fee: P25
4. Do Kayaking in the Lake
Test your boating skills with the kayaks in the lake. Don’t worry as there are life jackets.
Boat rental fee: P30
5. Camp using tents
Wish I could try to camp there as it was cool to do it with friends and relatives.
Camping fee: P30
6. Taste their Special Sinigang
There are restaurants inside Mambukal but take note it is only during daytime. Their Sinigang is so special because of BATUAN (Garcinia morella). This is like their special sampalok (tamarind) or kamias (Averrhoa bilimbi) for making sinigang.
In summary, as a couple, it was a great way to get to know more of the person especially when climbing for the waterfalls. As a group, the place can give a lot of activities to create memories and bonds. For my second time with the place, I will still go back here. It is a very interesting place with numerous activities and it is very natural.
