LAKE SEBU (ADDITIONAL CHARGE REQUIRED)
Perched in the highlands of South Cotabato is the town of Lake Sebu, home to the indigenous T’boli and Ubo tribes and an emerging eco-tourism and adventure destination in Southern Mindanao.
The 7 Falls of Lake Sebu
Seven (7) Falls Of-Lake Sebu
Known for its majestic waterfalls, lakes, rivers and springs, and with its rich biodiversity and culture, Lake Sebu is starting to hit big in the tourism landscape of the region. Its main attractions include Lake Sebu, the biggest of the three lakes that dot the town and an important watershed in the region being the source of water of the provinces of South Cotabato and Sultan Kudarat.
Aside from the lake, tourists also troop to this part of Mindanao to see the waterfalls in Barangay Siloton. A total of seven majestic waterfalls with the water coming from the outflows of the Lakes Sebu and Siloton. The first two waterfalls are easily accessible to tourists while the others require trekking. But the best way to see these waterfalls is by riding a zipline that passes above five of them!
Lake Sebu Tilapia Farm
The cooler climate in this geographic location also means that wildlife and farmed animals grow slower and more flavorful, since they’re able to roam freely and eat the freshest food available to them, as compared to animals forced to eat chemicals that promote growth. The flavors become more concentrated, and that would explain why most people would claim that Lake Sebu’s tilapia is “sweeter-tasting” compared to others found in the Philippines (as well as the world). Through time, however, the locals have cooked the fish in various ways.
