16,000 LED Roses in Lintaon Peak, Baybay City, Leyte

ENTRANCE FEE: PHP 25.00 php per person

Most people would have to think including me that there is a summit at the peak because of its name but unfortunately, there isn’t. The area is so huge. It is surrounded by picturesque valleys, meadows, and hills all in high elevations.

When I step into the area, the scorching heat of the sun greeted me with intense force and the people at the entrance greeted me too. After a minute-hike, I reached this place and I saw some people taking pictures from this angle. Also, below this area is the 16,000 led roses.

Lintaon Peak, the city’s highest point, the peak is comprised of white and red roses embedded in the grassy meadow forming the phrase “I Love Baybay”. The LED lights are an astonishing sight that can be seen kilometers away at the city proper. The peak overlooks Camotes Sea, and the nearby islands of Cuatro Islas in Inopacan town and Camotes in Cebu.

A function hall and two view decks overlooking the city proper of Baybay and Cuatros Islands are also being constructed.

You can also try to visit Visayas State University, Sea of Clouds, 16,000 LED Roses at Lintaon Peak, Baybay Specialty Pasalubong, DannMar Venue and Tuna Sugba Resto! , Sea of Clouds at Sky Cafe , Mt. Pangasugan , Eastern Sea of Clouds, Historical Immaculate Conception Parish, and Tan-awan Peak.

Overnight Camping

Besides, late afternoon picnics, overnight camping is definitely a great experience. The view of the city lights and led lights at night is really gorgeous, wondrous setting of the sun and waking up to the sunrise at the Leyte Cordillera is gratifying to both your mind and eyes. If you’re planning to stay overnight in your tents, make sure to secure the pegs tightly because it can be windy during nighttime. I don’t recommend making a campfire as the moderate to strong winds will just blow it off and spoil your moment so make sure to pack your portable LED lamps.

EXPENSES

Php 15.00/person – Pedicab from the city’s land transport terminal going to Brgy. Pomponan.
Php 25.00/person – Brgy. Pomponan to Lintaon Peak.

TIPS

Here are some tips to enjoy a smooth sailing adventure.

Jacket. Remember to bring a jacket to protect you from the cold air if you plan to have overnight camping.
Bring your own food, water, and snacks. For tipid (budget) purposes, just bring some food and snacks.
Umbrella. The scorching heat of the sun? Worry no more.

Never leave your trash anywhere because it creates a huge impact on the environment.
Have fun and enjoy. Do not forget to share your story with me.
