What's there in Negros Island: Don Salvador Benedicto

Rice terraces, rich forest, marvelous view of mountains, and the fresh scent of pine are some of the reasons why this quaint town of Don Salvador Benedicto was dubbed "Little Baguio" of Negros. The Eco-tourism highway of Negros Occidental successfully played its part in revealing the beauty of nature that will surely feed your wanderlust while on the road. Should you be in a group, try renting a car/van so you'll have the luxury of stopping at picturesque places along your way. Moreover, if you think that chocolate hills are only found in bohol then think again, because you can also find them here on your way further to San Carlos City.
Don Salvador Benedicto is an hour away from Bacolod City heading toward the center of Negros, facing the north side of Mt. Kanlaon. This scenic town is a perfect weekend getaway to unwind from the hectic city life. Also, If you're visiting Bacolod for a couple of days and would like to spice up your journey with some nature escapade, a day-tour at Don Salvador Benedicto is very feasible.

Sugar Beach


Sugar beach in Sipalay, Negros Occidental is a 3-4 hours drive from Bacolod City and 6 hours by Bus. A charming destination where one may find it tranquil and relaxing more than other mainstream beaches in the Philippines. It is not congested with tourist and you'll even find less on weekdays contributing more to its "unspoiled" charm. Likewise, it can compete with other beaches for its fine white sands and mouth-watering cuisines.
In order to get here, one may take a Bus from Bacolod City South Terminal heading towards Hinobaan. Tell the conductor you are heading to sugar beach and have to alight at Gil Montilla Public Market. This is where you'll ride a Motorcycle/Tricycle to bring you at the dock. The famous landmarks for you to look out are the Government Center of Sipalay and Gil Montilla National High School.
