After an hour of taking pictures at The Ruins, we again went on a one-hour road trip to Campuestohan Highland Resort.
It is located in Sitio Cabatangan, Brgy. Campuestohan, Talisay City on the side of the mountain. So going there, without a private means of transportation is not only a hassle but also a bit costly. So, if going solo, there is a shuttle provided for by Campuestohan that leaves at 9:00 AM from Villa Angela Arcade parking lot (front of Lopue’s East Corner), Bacolod City and 4:00 PM from the resort. The fare is 100 pesos to and from the resort.
The entrance fee for Campuestohan is 150 pesos for each person, this is inclusive of the swimming pool and the park rides. They also have the following activities offered: The Sky Bicycle for 100 pesos, Zip Line for 200 pesos, Horseback Riding for 150 pesos, and Rope Course for 200 pesos.

| Bonita Huts Accomodation |
The accommodation for the day trip includes some huts around the swimming pool area, some lounge on the villas and a canopy tent on the grounds. It costs 300 to 1000 pesos depending on size and location. For overnight stay, they have the Bonita Huts which is good for 4 for 2500 pesos. The Log Cabins for 3000, 4000 and 5000 pesos good for 3, 4 and 5 persons respectively. Extra persons costs 500 pesos exclusive of breakfast. The night accommodation is inclusive of breakfast and entrance fees.

| Sky Bicycle for 100 php |
The Sky Bicycle looks fun and my friends enjoyed their ride. I think it’s a very exhilarating experience judging by their expressions. But if you have fears like the author, hehe, I don’t really go for heights. It’s located at about 700 meters to 1000 meters from the ground. And the only means of support is the bike and the rope around your waist. I did enjoy strolling on the hanging bridge, so that makes up for it.

| Buttered Chicken for Lunch |
After the Sky Bicycle, we had our lunch at the resorts restaurant on Buttered Chicken, Chicken Binakol, Pork Sinigang, some seafood meal, different drinks and rice. The food tastes great, though the service is not as fast as we wanted it to be. Well, it was also after lunch time so there is a fewer staff working, I think. Definitely needs improvement on service but food is tasty, so let bygones be bygones.

| Restaurant Sign |
After the meals, we had our picture taking on the different figures around the resort. All around the 15-hectare land area, if I remember correctly, are different statues of our favorite characters. They have the Avengers, Son Goku, Michael Jordan, Spoon and Fork and Veggies at the entrance of the restaurant, the Dragon Warrior and the Furious Five, Bumble Bee, Optimus Prime and a giant King Kong that bellows from time to time.

| Rope Course for 200 php |
I really wanted to try the Rope Course, it looks so inviting, but we didn’t have any time and there are still some people who are trying it out. So we didn’t pursue that one and just strolled on the ground.
The place is so relaxing and so fresh. Just sitting there, eating ice cream and chips is a feel good experience. I hope to get back there one day and take my revenge on that Rope Course.
At 4:00 PM, we left Campuestohan behind and journeyed to our next stop: Mambukal Resort. But before proceeding there, we stop by Bacolod City to buy some bread and other essentials.
And onto the next post.
