Everything you need to know about Kansalakan Enchanted River!
ABOUT
Kansalakan Enchanted River is one of the many beautiful places in Visayas and it sits deep within the forests of Negros Oriental. People describe Kansalakan as enchanted because of its consistent deep greenish color, something that is rare to find. Parts of the Kansalakan Enchanted River are so deep that you cannot see the bottom. This is why the river has become a popular cliff diving site among locals and visitors. The deepest sections of the river are also calm so you can have a relaxing swim without thinking about the usual strong river current.
The Eye
Kansalakan Enchanted River features a deep and clean river with small cascades and circular holes. A prominent feature of Kansalakan Enchanted River is a natural circular tub christened as “The Eye”. It is an icon within an icon as it lies on the cliff jumping spot near the road. What’s upstream is yet another uncharted territory. Perhaps more circular holes or taller waterfalls or cliff jumping spots? One thing is certain, Kansalakan Enchanted River is a true nature’s wonder!
Location
You can find Kansalakan in between Banwague and Balogo, which are villages in the highland area of Guihulngan City. Once you reach Guihulngan, this river is quite accessible as it is right beside the road. Guihulngan City is less than 145 kilometers away from other notable Dumaguete tourist spots.
