The Forest Camp : relax and enjoy nature

Image
April 2016                    3rd Saturday of April, when me and my better-half Claire decided to go for a weekend nature stroll. Directly we head to The Forest Camp. Located in Valencia Negros oriental dubbed as the little Baguio of Negro Oriental due to its cold climate and sometime the temperature drops to almost 12-10 degree Celsius. The Forest Camp Resort offers the very relaxing and cool ambiance, if you need to be like in a close to nature experienced while your having a great weekend with your family and friends.              Entering the Resort you will see the Forest Camp Wishing Well,  where it was thought that any spoken wish would be granted. The idea that a wish  would be granted came from the idea that water housed gods or diwata  or had been placed there as a gift from the supernatural being. Some also practice to  drop coins  believing coins would be placed there as gifts for the diwata to show appreciation.  Anyway, updated resorts entrance fee for adults is 90 pesos

Entering the entrance you will see some native trees around the area. Concrete road going inside the spring lagoon.                                                                                                           With well-maintained clean resort and very environment f riendly and close to nature first hand experienced where you can hear  t he branches of trees as they swing in the air, the swe
