In today's blog, I will show you the second popular Peak my hometown has which is known as "Casino Peak or Lugsangan Peak". Actually my place still has many peaks which are not yet discovered. Possibly there are 5-10 peaks in total. This was the picked choice we wanted to visit with my family when I had my vacation in the Philippines after long years abroad. Before this, we went to Aguinid falls in Samboan then decided to have a round road trip. It's like from my hometown straight to south then back again to my place. While on our way to the Casino Peak, the roads were not that good. It was a rocky road. I was just praying at that time that our vehicle can survive because if not, I don't know where we will stay since shops or stores aren't accessible or available.
When we reached our destination, the representative welcomed us. They were easy to deal with. The entrance fee per adult is only 20 Philippine peso. Now you wonder why they are asking for fees aside for their minimum salary, they used it too for maintaining the beauty and environment of the peak. I highly advise that if you have the interest to go here, you should always prepare for the necessary stuff in order for you to feel more comfortable. It took me 15 minutes before I reached the top. Honestly, it was tricky to walk up high because there are some plants that are itchy and irritating. I almost quit in the middle but I realize, what's the point of going there?
I am so proud of myself because I successfully made it. Out of twelve persons but only the seven of us who were able to pass it through. I can imagine to myself that the peak brought me to heaven. As they said, only 5 pesos fare needed then I can reach the sky. It was funny but it is true. The clear white clouds were unbelievable. I was able to see the other popular peak which is Osmena Peak. The islands were seen too and I can see the other province of Moalboal which was common in Sardines run and other beautiful white beaches. It was nice there to spend the summer vacation or holidays. I am planning for my second visit there soon.
Your legs will feel shaky because a single mistake can cause your death. It is not an easy experience when you really wanted to have good shots on that place. While taking care of your camera you have to be double careful for yourself too for safety. The reaching point is not good for camping or staying at night since the flat pace is not enough to accommodate people or set tents up there not like in Kandungaw Peak which is good for a staycation because they have huts or another small wooden house for their tourists who have plans to stay overnight.
I like the good intentions of my family because aside from going to expensive restaurants or resorts they chose to do this challenging experience because they wanted to release sweat and a calming place. It's been a year I haven't back there. I am excited about the next visit if there are changes or improvement in the peak and do fun things which I haven't do before.
Keep updated on my posts because I am uploading or posting more travel blogs about my place.
