Dumaguete – Twin Lakes
Description
The drive from Dumaguete to the Balinsasayao Twin Lakes, splitting into two distinct halves: a flat run north on the coastal highway, then a sustained inland climb to around 800 metres, the biggest elevation change of the Dumaguete-area drives. The turnoff leaves the highway north of Sibulan and the road immediately changes character — steep, winding, and in places rough, climbing through forest to the national park information centre above the lakes. The climb is the drive; the lakes at the top are crater lakes inside a protected area, with entry handled at the information centre and boats and paddling arranged inside.
Address
Dumaguete north to the Balinsasayao Twin Lakes road, Negros Oriental
Tips
The access road is the steepest regularly driven road in the area — check brakes and use low gear coming down. Cloud builds over the lakes from late morning; earlier arrivals get the clearer water and views.
