3D 2N Metro Bacolod Itinerary

The Ruins, Talisay, Negros Occidental

Mambukal Mountain Resort, Murcia, Negros Occidental

Negros Occidental Capitol Grounds


Arrival in Bacolod City:  Via Plane, Boat, or Bus

Day 1:  Silay City and The Ruins
-Check in first in your hotel of choice on your arrival. If you like to stay in an affordable hotel that has pool, then choose Bacolod Pavilion.
- Pack up and freshen up. Do not forget to bring your cameras and enough money.
- Ride a motorcab going to the terminal bound for Silay.
- Visit the Ancestral Houses. For more info visit: http://tourism.negros-occ.gov.ph/places-to-go/cities/silay-city/
- Dine at Silay's best restaurants and food centers.  They offer very delicious signature dishes. Truly Silaynon! Visit this link to choose from different Silay restaurants: http://www.silayheritage.com/p/place-to-eat.html
- After satisfying your cravings, take a walk through this beautiful place.  It is dubbed as the "Paris of Negros" because of its architecture and cultural background.
- Along the way going back to Bacolod, take a few hours or minutes in The Ruins which is located in Talisay. This place is what made Bacolod known to the whole world. Tell the jeepney or bus to drop you off the corner going to The Ruins, then ride another jeepney route Libertad-Bata (make sure it is bound for Bata) then tell the driver to drop you off the corner again going to the ruins, and take the last ride which is a motorcab (25 php each)
-Make sure you will make it there before sunset. The best time to visit the place is around 4 to 5:30 pm.
- After the ruins, you can have your dinner in Manokan Country in Bacolod (near SM).
- Go back to the hotel, freshen up, and take a rest.

Day 2: Mambukal Mountain Resort
- After eating your breakfast, you can check out (if you decide to spend overnight in 
mambukal) then pack your things up and head straight to the Bus termal bound for Mambukal. You can ride jeepneys en-route Shopping-Libertad and tell the driver to drop you off at the bus terminal bound for Mambukal.
- Spend the whole day doing picnic, boating, swimming, trekking, and more fun activities there in Mambukal.
- I would highly suggest to spend overnight in mambukal. You can also set-up a tent if you have one.
- If you decided to get back to Bacolod, it is fine too but make sure to inquire first with the bus schedules going back to the city.

Day 2: Tinuy-an Falls and Enchanted River
- For commuters, take a trike and tell them to take you to the bus terminal and then take the Bachelor Tours bus bound for Mangagoy, Bislig and tell the driver/conductor to drop you off in the corner road going to Tinuy-an Falls, then hire a habal2x/single motorcycle.  Remember to bring enough food, and just let the trike driver wait for you until you decide to proceed in going to Enchanted river.

- From the falls tell the trike driver to take you to the highway again and then take the bus bound for Butuan that will pass by Hinatuan, and tell the driver/conductor once again to drop you off near the corner going to Enchanted river and take another trike.

-Spend the night somewhere in Hinatuan.

DAY 3:  Britannia Island
-Take a bus that passes San Agustin Town and spend a day doing island hopping in Britannia group of islands.

-Go back to Butuan.

My advise is that if you are a bunch of tourists, you better hire a Van/Vhire as your transportation for the whole 2 day tour in Tinuy-an falls, Enchanted river, and Britannia Islands.  You can hire an 8k Van with driver and guide for a 2-day tour.  The van is good for 12, so if you are a group of 12 you can save a lot.  You can contact me, 09329721312 for the van so that I can help you book a van for hire in Butuan.
