The Mambukal Mountain Resort and Wildlife Sanctuary was my first ever content to post here in this lovely community. I still remember the first time I went here, I experienced a lot and I was so happy that day! Come and join me once again in my exploration here in the same place where my Hive journey started!

Back then, I only had a poor-quality camera on my phone combined with my lack of experience in editing. Now I have a chance to re-take the sceneries that I've got before and make it better using my current, but not professional, editing skills.

To all of you who didn't know, Mambukal Mountain Resort and Wildlife Sanctuary has a large protected area in the mountain. It has a vast forest with gigantic trees and various species of wild plants which serves as a natural habitat and food source of wild animals in the area. One of the well-known residents of the Mambukal's forest are the Giant Flying Fox, a giant species of bats, there are thousands of bats in here that flies around and covers the sky even in daytime.

The resort has two large swimming pool, two relaxing hot spring, a man-made lagoon, and the famous Waterfalls or The Sixth Falls. I was told that before the pandemic happened, the resort offered a lot of fun activities like Lagoon Boating, Rock Climbing, and even Zipline.

I took a stroll with my cousins and took a lot of photos of the whole resort. The natural beauty of this place never fades, from its sulfuric river, tall trees, huge rocks, and everything else that you can see inside this sanctuary!

This is still my favorite spot in the whole resort because of its beautiful view of the sulfuric rocky river, surrounded by trees, and the view of the man-made lagoon from afar.

The mountain was once a volcano a thousand years ago, this is why there are a lot of volcanic rocks in this place. The yellowing of the stones is caused by sulfuric waters that flow from the nearby hot springs.

This part of the resort feels like you're suddenly in a different world because it is too peaceful and covered by tall trees of the forest.

I was with my family, cousins, and their relatives and we all enjoyed our time here in Mambukal. I was glad to share some great experiences with them and have a great time! This is one of the few moments where I get to be with my cousins in a year hahaha.

I've also had a chance to spend a wonderful time with my lovely partner, Hive account@breepickledoodle in here with her family. I think she will post about this wonderful place too!

I feel happy about this post because I've had a chance to go back again, have a great time with my family, and share with you all again the beauty of this place! I will always be grateful to God for always giving us a chance to be happy, to be better, and appreciate this beautiful life that God has given to us.

That is all for today hive! Thank you for always reading and supporting my posts! See you again on my next adventure!
