Going to Rebucas at Nabunturan Compostela

During hot humid days, people tend to think of cooling off to the beach or take a swim at a swimming resort. That's just what me and my friends did. We all went to Nabunturan, Compostela Valley. It is 1 hour and 30 minutes drive from Davao City. Nabunturan is known for its hot spring called Toyuzu, I will make another post for that in the days to come. But unknown to a lot of people, there is a swimming resort tucked away in the forests of Nabunturan. Rebucas, is a swimming resort, which has flowing water coming from the water falls.

Going there is quite challenging. Me and my friends went there and rode a tricycle. It is a motorized vehicle that can carry up to 6 passengers. The road going there is a bit rocky and filed with lime stone...


As a result, the tricycle cannot go up because of the steep road, they eventually pushed it...

When the pushing obviously didn't work, we all hiked...


Hiking proved to most enjoyable for me because I got to see a lot of plants and lime stones there




It is more convenient to go there using a 4 wheeled vehicle, or a single motorcycle. Going by tricycle is really not advised...:)

Finally we arrived at the site...

The Kiddy Pool is so inviting...

The resort is not yet well developed. The owners are slowly getting funds to develop the place. It used to be a privately owned resort for the family use only, but they have decided to open it to the public...

The resort has little cottages, and a conference like cottage. But there are no rooms for overnight yet. The owners are slowly making plans for further development of the place.

The pool is very cold. The water came from the falls so it is so cool and it is flowing so it is safe and clean. The maintenance is outstanding. The place is squeaky clean.

Me at the pool...

The only complaint I have of the place is there are a lot of mosquitoes... You have to bring a repellent lotion to solve this... Other than that, I enjoyed my stay there. We have more photos, I will post them later...
