Lake Danao - Ormoc






Ormoc City's pride - Lake Danao ♥♥♥

Lake Danao is a guitar-shaped lake on the island of Leyte in the Philippines. The lake is covering an area of 148 hectares. It is situated in the 2,193 hectares Lake Danao Natural Park, which also includes the Amandiwin mountain range.taken from Wikipedia 

The lake is situated maybe around 19kms away from the city and when I was younger, our elders won't allow us to visit or swim there because of an urban legend that the lake was very deep and no one can ever measure it. also there was a big fish in the lake, as big as a Jeepney daw  😊
I was residing more or less 10kms from the lake. the transportation before was very difficult and the road was so rough. It is good now that the road is concrete as in it is so accessible and easy to go there. 
Ormocanons and visitors can now enjoy Lake Danao with its floating cottages. But since it is pandemic, most of the time, the lake is close for security purposes.
Pictures shown were taken just this year when it was re opened. Our Family loves going there because of the very cold weather perfect for relaxation and bonding.
