Our first days in Valencia, Negros Oriental, offered waterfalls, hot springs, and encounters with local life. From Dauin’s coastal calm to the mountain charm of Liptong, we explored Casaroro Falls, Forest Camp, and Red Rock Hot Spring while enjoying the warmth and friendliness of the Philippines countryside.
