Canlaon – Kanlaon Mountain and Rice Fields

Canlaon Mountain and peaceful rice terraces.  Mt Kanlaon Volcano

I took a day trip from San Carlos over to Canlaon because the weather was beautiful and the mountain was so beautiful – perfect for a few pictures!

The turn off to Canlaon is about 20 kilometers south of town and you can follow the road over the mountains and land up in Bacolod if you choose.

This is a beautiful area and it is a rather easy road trip if you have a bit of time on your hands. I have an interest in climbing Mt Canlaon – also spelled Mt. Kanlaon – one of these days when I feel motivated but the timing or weather was not quite right yet.

Mt Kanlaon Volcano in Kanlaon National Park on Negros Island – Kanlaon is an active volcano – I see it spelled Canlaon and Kanlaon not sure which is technically correct but both seem to be ok

Negros is a beautiful island and often gets overlooked by those on the tourist trail.

Peaceful setting.

note: that is not Canlaon – Kanlaon mountain in the background in the above  photo – just a random hill : )

Mt Canlaon with sugar cane fields in the foreground. I am getting more interested in climbing this mountain! If it goes well I plan to put an update on this site.

What a beautiful day : )

These rice terraces are not famous like the ones in Banaue or Batad but wow ! so nice!
