Team Out of Town Blog Hub (Outoftownblog.com) – Earlier this month, Team Out of Town was invited to join other travel writers and TV crews on the inaugural flight of AirAsia’s newest route: Dumaguete.

The Twin Lakes Natural Park is a protected natural park surrounded by Lake Balinsasayao and Lake Danao. Both were naturally formed from a volcanic eruption with the Lake Balinsasayao at 90 meters deep and 76 hectares wide, and the Lake Danao at 58 meters deep and 30 hectares wide. The name Balinsasayao is derived from the birds that inhabit the lake and the surrounding forest, Balinsasayaw. While Danao is named after the native Danao people who settled near the lake.

Before we reached the actual park, we registered and paid the entrance fee at the visitor’s center. The team visited a small lake situated next to the visitor’s center before taking an additional five-minute ride to the park.
