Bacolod for good wouldn't be for me, but I will surely always return to Pinas. Currently still Bali again, but New Year might bring some change. ;-) Melvin, thanks for confirming my observations.

I remember growing up looking at the peak of the mountain, smoke billows from atop. You need a skilled driver to cross a very precarious bridge, overlooking a river. After 30 years, I had the chance to bring my family with me to this place, still mystifies my ever curious mind how it turned out to be an exceptional resort. Loved it! Lots of memories and fun of course. You have chosen a perfect spot to appreciate nature Chris, have more fun on your Negros adventure. Any plan on staying in Bacolod for good?

I'm currently in Coron/Busuanga, Palawan. Glad you enjoyed Mambukal. It's really a magic place for me and the climb to the 7th fall well worth the effort, although it can be torture especially when its hot and humid. ;-) peanutz, sure…catch me if you can.

That good vibe you get when visiting a place that fits, is very important. You probably have a good sense for underlying stigmas of the locals when visiting a foreign destination. DR was a trip I took to volunteer building homes in a small village. There is obviously a huge gap between the rich and the poor like many 3rd world countries, but we really saw the two extremes as we were staying in a five star resort for security, and going to the poor village during the day to help build. Check out <a href="http://www.buildahousechangealife.com/index.html">Build a House Change a Life</a> for the 2010 effort. I just Wiki searched Maccu Piccu, and it looks like an awesome place to visit. I really like the old ruins, fascinating. I hear you.

I can't really explain it, but I visited Mexico, Honduras, the Dominican Republic as well as Argentina and Brazil on shorter trips a couple of years back and never really got warm with those places. Don't get me wrong, they are nice countries and have a lot to offer, just for me, I could not imagine living there. Although Maccu Piccu in Peru is still on my list of places to visit before I die.

I would love to go there. I took a trip to the Dominican Republic last summer and they had some serious waterfalls. You would spend hours with the guides who would help you up the falls. There was a nice little cove at the top where we chilled for a bit, and then it took us like 20 minutes to get down, because we would slide down the falls. Really cool day trip. Next time your in Latin America, I highly suggest you check it out. Wow this place looks heavenly. I would love to go there.

I'm slowly getting too old for this kind of adventures. I want my comfort with running hot water and even aircon these days. Beach huts, bamboo and wooden structures give me the creeps due to the termites or dust mites. But it surely sounds like a backpacker heaven! :D michael, sounds interesting and pretty much like a Robinsonade. I’m slowly getting too old for this kind of adventures.
