Mambukal Resort is located in Mambukal, Negros Occidental, north eastern side of it. This resort is really a great package of camping, swimming, resting, trekking, hot spring dipping, kayaking, dining and team building in a natural environment.

Activities to do

1. Climb the 7 Waterfalls

There are 7 waterfalls that you can visit. You can either start from 

1. the main starting point in Mambukal Resort where you trek going up or
2. 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

3. Visit the Butterfly Garden

4. Do Kayaking in the Lake

5. Camp using tents

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.

Sinigang na baboy: P150

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.
