Sumlang Lake



Sumlang Lake

One of the newest must-visit attraction in Albay, Sumlang Lake, offers tourist a different view of Mayon Volcano with laid back and more relax water activities. We rented a tricycle (for 700 Php) to bring us here, in Hoyop Hoyopan Cave, and Daraga Church. But just in case you want to commute going to Sumlang Lake, if you are from Legazpi, ride a jeep bound to Camalig (15 Php fare) and tell the driver to get you off at Sumlang Lake. Getting off at the main road you should (SHOULD! because for me its a long walk from the main road) ride a tricycle going to the lake proper, I am not just sure how much, but because it is nearer I think its about 10 Php per person or 30 Php for special ride.

With just 20 Php as entrance fee per adult, you can enjoy this hidden gem of Camalig, Albay. Upon entering the place, you can feel the vibe of the place where you can chill and sit for a while. Well-maintained cleanliness and cozy and "instagrammable" benches, swings, and chairs made of local materials can be seen around the area.

Cozy place to Chill




The lake proper offers you water activities like chilling for a while in riding a bamboo raft for 25 Php each person and with a guide that will get you around the lake (you can also try kayak or pedal boat at different rate). The guide will also be a good help in capturing the best shot around Sumlang Lake, you can take pictures with Mayon Volcano as your background, or the blooming water lilies on the side, the Sumlang Lake signage, or capturing everything because every angle you look here gives you an amazing view of nature!
