Mount Talinis

Mount Talinis - the second highest on Negros Island after the volcano Canlaon (Canlaon), rises to 1903 meters 20 kilometers from the city. A hiking trail leads to the summit, which can be overcome during a one-day or two-day hiking/trekking tour. On the route you can visit Twin Falls, Mountain Lakes Lake Yagumyum and Lake Nailig, a source of hot volcanic water, and many more interesting things.

Theoretically, experienced tourists in good shape can climb and descend the mountain during the day and on their own, for which from the starting point to the top you need to overcome 8 kilometers and 1200 meters in height, and back. But in this case, you will not have time to visit the mentioned attractions, since they are located a little away from the main route. Therefore, it is recommended to climb with an overnight stay in a camp near the summit, and as part of a tourist group. To do this, you can purchase a tour (offered in travel agencies and hotels, the cost depends on the size of the group and conditions), join local tour groups (you can find and agree with them on the Dumaguete forums in advance). It is even easier, but at your own risk, to collect the equipment yourself, start the climb, and join the local tourists on the way.
