BUENOS AIRES MOUNTAIN RESORT
Buenos Aires Mountain Resort comprises 18.9950 hectare portion of property that was previously nothing but mere jungles. General Juan A. Araneta, the Negrense hero of the 1898 revolution, its owner, named the place Buenos Aires, after one of the places he visited abroad.
Today the resort is one of the tourist destinations in Negros. The influx of both domestic and foreign tourists, the employment that it generates, the income opportunities that it provides o the community are testimonials pf its success. The Resort is accredited with the Department of Tourism as “AA” standard tourist establishment. KIPOT SUMMER RESORT The kipot Summer Resort is home to the enchanting Kipot Twin Falls, a stream separated by a sharp overhang that splits the path of water into two seemingly identical cascades.
From the gateway to the falls is a good 220 steps down a winding stairs. The stairway starts from a wide downhill path to a slim alley hugging the mountain side. An ideal trail for hiking. Upon reaching the falls, one forgets tires limbs from the long trek because of the magnificent beauty and soothing effect of the cascades. The site of the Kipot Summer Resort is a humble donation of former Vice-Mayor Romualdo S. Araneta and family. With this gratuity goes the donor’s or recipients commitment to the protection and preservation of mother nature and their unending call to the Bagueños to appreciate and take part in the preservation efforts, and to abundantly reap the benefits it provides to the people and the generations to come. RAFAEL SALAS PARK AND NATURE CENTER
Rafael Salas Park and Nature Center as it is now also a tribute to the resourcefulness of the late Mayor Manuel Y. Torres who was able to pull together the resources if interested sectors to develop the park into what it is today. A convention hall and the Salas memorial bust-statue were reconstructed by the City serving shelter and landmarks to visiting tourists. Today the City through its Mayor Janet E. Torres continues the development set by her predecessor with a view not only to develop the park but also to transform the same into a major tourism center. Towards this goal the city focuses on the development of the physical features of the park- landscaping and rehabilitation of the flora and fauna through conservation and preservation, maintenance of existing structures and complimentary construction if more facilities, particularly the establishment of a fully defined and developed recreational areas.

A
premier resort once thrived in Barangay Ilijan, Bago City, Negros
Occidental. To most of us now, the place may not really value that much, but
to each and every Bagueño who has lived through that era, the place is one
that brings back nostalgic memories. To them the place “Buenos Aires”. 
In,
1992, the City of Bago headed by Mayor Manuel Y. Torres, having in mind that
the resort has a potential of becoming a world class tourist destination
purchased the property from its owners. The vision is to bring back its
statures to what it had been known for during the pre-war days and to
provide livelihood to the people in the community. 
The
Kipot Summer Resort is great for family picnics and nature tripping
activities. The magnificent falls makes you feel you’re in the middle of a
mystical paradise. Trekking along boulders that form a narrow pathway, with
raging falls nearby, puts the experience of nature’s treasures within reach.
The
Mt. Kanla-on Natural Park is an unquestionable illustration of a haven for
nature tourism and recreational development. The outstanding panoramic and
aesthetic make it one of the Philippines finest wonders. A home for wide
range of flora and fauna, several of which are endemic to the place, this
16th highest peak in the country is endowed with beautiful scenery of
valleys, waterfalls, caves, and springs. |
