More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
You step from an air-conditioned van into a humid ribbon of road where tall mahogany trunks throw a cool shade over the asphalt. The Bilar man-made forest towers above you, its straight trunks bending sunlight into green bands that move with the breeze. A short drive later and the Loboc River widens, the water daring you to slow down as a wooden boat carries lunch and local music downstream.
