Highlights attractions in Dumaguete

• Twin Lakes National Park - About 20km northwest of Dumaguete, the twin crater lakes of Balinsasayao and Danao offer some wonderfully scenic hiking. The area is virgin forest and full of wildlife, including monkeys and birds; if you are lucky you might spy a rare Philippine spotted deer or Visayan warty pig. Go 900 meters beyond the entry gate to reach the first lake, where there are kayaks and paddleboats available. There is also a pleasant restaurant overlooking shimmering Lake Balinsasayao. Hiking trails include a short trail connecting the lakes; a popular 30-minutes trail to some waterfalls; and a longer three-hour trail to the twin falls in Red River Valley. Pack good shoes as this trail can get very slippery.
• Rizal Boulevard - While Filipino towns are not usually recognized for their beauty or charm, Dumaguete's coastal promenade along Rizal Boulevard is an exception to the law. Built-in 1916, this picturesque quarter-mile lined with old-fashioned street lamps is a relaxing place to walk around, inviting families to picnics, energy travellers and those happy to sit on benches looking out to the ocean. There is a nice range of hotels, bars and food booths in the vicinity.
• Bell Tower - This tower is the earliest remaining building in town, a relic of the lengthy Spanish occupation of the island of Negros. It used to be a watchtower to guide the locals against the Mindanao pirates. The first two stories date back to the mid-1700s, with the building above that added subsequently. Its biggest bell is inscribed with a date of 1818.
