So high!

We were so pumped up to see Campuestohan. So many people. So many rides. So many things to do. Planning our summer activity was always the thrilling part, and this year's summer plan was worth it. The buildings were well-built, the furniture explicit, the recreations well-thought.

teepee huts (air-conditioned room; good for 6 pax)

Hamster Wheel

Obstacle Course

We arrived at Campuestohan and marveled at the scenery - the whole of Talisay City in Negros. No need to rest, so little time, so much to do, so we headed to our teepee hut inside the Indian village. After a couple of minutes, we roamed the resort and enjoyed what we saw. 

 

We stayed at the highland resort for a night. The morning walk was very relaxing. The early morning breeze in a highland area made it feel rejuvenating. A filling meal was served in the morning. I rode the hamster wheel which was obviously nerve-racking (not for the faint-hearted), spent an hour checking the site (the pools, the infrastructure, the rides, the spa center, the pavilion, the huts, the food kiosks, the photo kiosks), took a swim at the fun wave pool. All was well. We checked out of the resort at 2.00PM and headed for Bacolod.

It was one h*ll of a summer.

To arrive in Campuestohan, it is best to rent a van or any vehicle. But if you are from Toledo City, you will have to ride the fast craft or ferry boat going to San Carlos. From San Carlos terminal, you will have to ride the bus bound for Bacolod City. From Bacolod City Terminal, ride a taxi or the Campuestohan shuttle. Taxi fares range from 400.00 - 500.00. The weekend shuttle service at Villa Angela Arcade Parking costs 100.00. It leaves Bacolod at 9.00AM and returns at 4.00PM. It can be rented for 3000.00. The resort also has a van for rent at 1500.00 for the day trip, and 2500 for an overnight use.
