Living a very simple life and a simple lifestyle at our place located in the Northern part of Cebu. Which is surrounded by growing sugarcane and other crops on huge farmland. The beautiful mountain ranges that cover our east-side view and the refreshing air from tall trees make the place beautiful to live for.
Hello Hivers, how was your day today? I hope your day was full of blessings and good vibes. For today's blog, I'm gonna share my uphill adventure at Mt.Kampitlok located in Bogo City, Cebu.
LET'S DO ADVENTURE
It was a beautiful Sunday morning, the sun is up and telling me that something's gonna happen today. What could it be? Hahaha. The morning convinced me to go on an adventure today. So without any hesitation, I put on my favorite sandals and grab a bottle of water for my wanted adventure. As I was busy preparing myself, my mother and father wanted to go with me. And who am I to refuse, the more the merrier, right? With cheerful faces, we started hiking.
While walking on a very rocky road, our feet and shoes got whiter and whiter, thanks to the anapog (own dialect) or limestone. Hehehe. After taking one meter away from the national road, to my surprise, my two cousins came to join us in climbing the peak. Strolling on a narrow road surrounded by tall sugarcanes and coconut trees that line up a road gives beauty to the area.
MT. KAMPITLOK
Kampitlok is a name of a sitio in Baranggay Binabag that comes from the word "pitlok" in our local dialect which means choking or having trouble breathing. Due to the place's high climb worth of breath requirement, it was called Kampitlok. From the national road in Binabag, you take on an 8 km rocky road walk, before starting the uphill climb.
Our first stop after the 8 km strolling rocky road was the house of Ma'am Imy, a secretary of the barangay in Binabag and a co-worker of my mother. We uttered quick greetings and proceeded with our climb. Steep rock slowed down our trail climb, including also my mother's killjoy cramps, adding to her difficulty climbing. But despite that, my feeling of going deep into the woods made me excited and grow about my destination!
While strolling between the huge plantation of sugarcane, I saw a flower. I picked some of it and brought them with me as we kept going. Do you know what this flower is? I don't know the exact name either but one thing is for sure, it's a flower from sugarcane. It usually comes out when the sugarcane is almost ready to be harvested. This flower gives and adds beauty to the farm.
Before we reach the peak of the mountain, we passed this huge cornfield with sprouting corn in it. Yes! I'm almost to the top. Seeing my mother and cousins were a bit behind me, I took the delayed taking portraits of the beautiful scenery while waiting.
THE TOP VIEW
The top view made my soul satisfied by its panoramic beauty. Satisfaction from the beautiful scene filled me with positive energy. All my sweat paid off from the refreshing cool air at the top.
There I saw a huge farmland of our place and its evergreen planted sugarcane. I took some portraits of us and myself also. At the peak of the mountain, there was a bamboo chair where you can sit and relax and feel the fresh atmosphere. The shades of the trees will make you feel better and free from all the stress of work. We also found a hammock where I can have rest on my uphill climb. So tiring but it's all worth it!
After taking our time with nature, we took our way back home but we took another route that they said was easier for us to walk back on. And they were right, the stairs had cemented steps that cured our feet's tiredness. Slowly ascending, we took back the 8 km rocky road until we reach our home sweet home.
Thank you for reading everyone.
See you on my next adventure.
What a wonderful adventure @elloquent ... You have captured an amazing view with a beautiful model🥰🤩. Yes to more adventure as Christmas break starts!🎉
A breathtaking place with beautiful people. I hope you take us there soon. Hehe.
It's just refreshing, peaceful and a stress reliever.
If I were to use one word to describe that place, i would say freedom. It's gorgeous. However, I'm not sure I would wear sandals there, I'm more like a boots person when it comes to hiking, but that's just a personal choice :) You're lucky to live close to such a beautiful place.
Indeed a wonderful place to live for and I'm very blessed for that.
I don't have hiking shoes so I prefer my black flat sandal
The place is breathtaking! It's the kinda place where I wanna write poetry or just listen to good music. Also, you are as beautiful as the view.
Thank you so much @cloflo
Indeed, a nice place to stay with good music.
Lovely open area to enjoy the outdoors with a good walk then hike to top of the highest point for great views below. Wonderful you went up as a group to make magic memories before closing off this year.
Have a wonderful festive season.

Yes, I'm blessed seeing this view everyday.It's my first time to climb this peak and experience the beauty of nature at the top.
Thank you so much.
Flowering sugar cane is called Saccharum officinarum, it is on the hills around us here where we live as well, bad for people who suffer with allergies to the flowers. Working in beautiful surroundings with your family I am surprised you have never climbed this previously.
Now you know next time to take a picnic basket along with you 😇

Merry Christmas to you and your family 🎅
This place is like paradise. I so love the breathtaking views. Last month I was in Cebu but I never had the chance to explore in a beautiful place like this for I was only staying in Mactan. I so love the scenic views. And I always wish to be with this kind of views. Have a nice time and have safe travels.
There's more beautiful places found in province of Cebu. But in Mactan Lapu Lapu is a nice place also

It's very relaxing while chilling in the hammock up there but it's scary at the same time.
