From the travel guide. Select a place for details, a map and what is nearby.
Best to see during the night, where it overlooks Bacolod. The trip to the park is what locals call, little Baguio with all the zig-zag and steep roads. You would also be surrounded with old pines, mahogany and the cool air. Best for hikers too. A local guide is available to bring you to various springs and falls. Come to discover.
There are buses and jeepneys from Bacolod. The distance is about 17 km.
