I've been to many places here in Cebu and Yes! Cebu has a lot to offer when it comes to beautiful travel destinations. Earlier this year, I found this gem located at Loay Toledo City, Cebu.This place is called Lake Bensis so let me take you there.
I discovered this place from social media and it amazed me seeing its scenery. Since then, I am very attracted to nature, whenever I am into that kind of place I felt like I am connected to the core of the earth. It feels like a renewal of energy and somewhat like a recharge of your being. Have you ever felt the same way as I am? If so, let me share you this place.
My husband and I went there earlier this year to spend his short vacation after working overseas.We decided to visit the place and trying to check it out if it's worth the long drive.It took us almost 2 hours long ride by motorcycle and all thanks to mother nature we had a perfect weather that day. And to my surprise when we arrived to the destination, it feels like I am inside of an oil canvass. The place is a total package because of its calmness and serenity. Perhaps, the beauty is visible.
Sharing some thoughts, upon visiting the place, it made me realize that whatever the place you are in, no matter how fancy or simple it is, it will never be memorable unless you are with the right person. We spend the day by just sitting near the lake and having some intimate conversation, talking about how life has been lately? and of course, it will never be a perfect day without foods and booze and that adds up the ambiance that you can enjoy for the entire day.Well, lechon manok and soda will always have a place in my heart, it will never be left out in a trip. It's everywhere! but it is more practical and convenient to bring your own food and drinks because the area doesn't have any restaurant or fast food.
What's the first thing you think about when you hear Lake Bensis?
The feeling of freedom and fresh air will surely reach your soul so this is the perfect place for you to go to. It has an area for camping so this would be an ideal place to visit with your group of friends or family. And to those who would like to reset their mind and body, you may also have your meditation session in this place since it is very quiet and relaxing. As we all know, it is very important to give some time to work on with our health and wellness. Remember, "The greatest wealth is health" So spare some time reconnecting to nature after having a long week of working. That is why I admire those individuals who spare some of their time to travel and relax.
There is nothing wrong working so hard because it is already given as part of our survival but always put this in your mind that we need a balance lifestyle so we can maintain the wellness of our life. We should never forget to have a "life" by making ourselves happy after a very tiring week. "Be Active, Be Healthy, Be Happy"
You may add this to your list because Lake Bensis is open to public and its entrance fee is very affordable for only 50.00.You may bring your own camping essentials like camping tent, sleeping bags, camp chairs and many more.I want to mention as well briefly that you can go to the place by motorcycle or by car.Nothing to worry when it comes to parking area because the place is spacious enough .Moreover, this lake is harmless so you can do swimming or kayaking.
Pros and Cons
In a lake you can do water sports like swimming, kayaking, paddle boarding, or fishing. And the place is sensational so there is no doubt with the stunning mountains and witness the sunrise and sunset. The air is full of negative ions- which helps you relieve stress. These Pros will surely helps our wellbeing. And for the cons, this place will not be for you if your hate crickets and other insects. Insects and inconvenience mus be expected - they were here long before we were. So yeah! it's nature and we can't do anything about it aside from putting on some insect repellent spray or lotion.
