LAKE DANAO

A hidden beauties of nature is located just 18 kilometers from Ormoc City proper in the province of Leyte. Lake Danao is a guitar-shaped lake, covering an area of 148 hectares inside the Lake Danao National Park, a 2,193 hectares protected ecopark under Republic Act No. 7586 (source: National Integrated Protected Area System (NIPAS) Act of 1992).

Lake Danao in Ormoc City for peep and peek to Leyte's hidden treasures up by 2,130 ft above sea level. 

Reaching on top is a manifestation of nature's best it can offer. The water is very calm and full solitude as you stare to its deep. Local children are there swimming and jumping indicating that the lake is safe to explore. There is a fresh water mollusk the locals called "tab". Scenic and serene. You can just stay here and watch the beauty of nature. You can also rent a boat or kayak to really enjoy its beauty.

The lake captured me. It has a spirit of stillness. A tranquil moment for a tired soul is awaited. Getting there could be a sacrifice as public transportation is very limited. One has to rent a habal habal or motorcycle to get there. Once you are at the lake be amaze by the view.
