I was not expecting that the pool is super cold it just imagine like a cooler with full of ice cubes, let say the temperature is less than 15 degrees Celsius, so far this is my first time swimming experience with a flowing fresh water pool coming from the mountain of Canlaon, Yes! It's a fresh water.
The Kanlaon Inland Resort And Eco-Tourim ( KIRAET) locally called INLAND is found in Purok Everlasting, Barangay Malaiba 15 minutes ride uphill from Canlaon Proper, the journey going to the inland is more fun, as you can see a great view of vegetable plantation of Canlaon City, Negros Oriental plus a Mountain View of San Carlos, Negros Occidental.
The good thing about this resort is the City government of Canlaon is maintaining it, and open to everyone, even if you don't have money in your pocket. I will tell you why? First the entrance fee is Absolutely free, Second the Pool fee is Free, you can bring also many foods as you want with no corgage fee, last but in the list the cottage is also free, so everything is Free except for the transportation going to the resort hehe. The only things to do is to enjoy the pool with an overlooking view of Mt. Canlaon, no kidding, I can tell you I enjoyed it so much.
The pool has 3 choices and family friendly , 2 feet if you want your body to adjust first in the cold temperatures, but if you are risked person you go directly and jump into 4 or 6 feet then enjoy and you know what will happen to you :). If you ask me if the local government use a chlorine to maintain the pool, my answer is NO! You know why? Because the water is not staying in pool the whole day. it's flowing down in the lake,every second the water was replenish coming from the mountain of Canlaon so there's nothing to worry about the water is 99 percent Clean, just enjoy swimming. The inland is open everyday 6am until 5pm.
I know you are excited to know more about this inland will tell you how get there:
Bacolod City is the most accessible route, take a bus in South Terminal and hops a Ceres route Canlaon , the journey will take you about 3 to 4 hours.
From City proper look a motorcycle and tell the driver that you will going to inland, fare is 50-60 pesos per way.
I hope you will enjoy the Kanlaon Inland Resort And Eco-Tourim as much as I did.
Hey, this is so nice. Free and the city government is paying for it including the maintenance. It is a nice initiative but I wonder, would the next mayor support this?
ReplyDeleteOMG!! We will visit this sana last month kaso di kami natuloy. This place was very nice indeed. All your photos are amazing and Instagram worthy xx
ReplyDeleteThis is the coolest thing I have ever seen! And 15 degrees is not cold, you should come to the UK and swim in our surrounding seas, now that is freezing!!! I love that the water flows constantly and that its all free to use! It's almost unbelievable but truly amazing!
ReplyDeleteYour pictures are great!
I miss Bacolod City! I lived there for 13 years and graduated from La Salle. I've definitely been here a couple of times with my family. It truly is a beautiful place and you helped show others that with your great pictures.
ReplyDeleteSure hope I can visit and explore that place again soon. Thank you for sharing.
Enjoy!
another great spot here Pao...this is my ideal summer vacation.. first because it's too far from the city and will make you experience that simple province life and second, the pool, despite of bein man made still embraces the nature..
ReplyDeletehopefully I'll get a chance to visit this place someday
I miss Negros! However, I haven't been to Canlaon yet. The place sure looks nice and inviting. Are they planning to put more facilities to attract tourists?
ReplyDeleteI've been to Bacolod twice but I missed this place. Your pictures made me regret not asking those who invited me over to bring me to memory worthy spots. Galing mo bro! - Sonnie
ReplyDeleteWow this looks like a great place to visit. Beautiful as so green. But of course the free pool and cottage and everything else makes it all the more worth it.
ReplyDeleteThis looks amazing. The pool water is so blue and you have such a big smile on your face being in there. The government is paying for it, wait, that's great! I would love to go there for free! The environment is breath taking! www.sofarsosabine.com
