Visit two of San Pablo's seven lakes – Sampalok and Pandin,the two most picturesque lakes.  Sampalok Lake is the largest among San Pablo's seven crater lakes.  There are now 16 lovely parks along the shore all created by private groups.  All the parks look out to the lake and the majesty of Mount Cristobal.  Pandin Lake is San Pablo's best-kept little secret.  Away from the main highway,this beautiful 20-hectare lake has retained much of its natural beauty

At Sampaloc Lake: Environmentalist Mandy Marino welcomes visitors to his veranda overlooking the lake.  He tells the story of the lake and its rebirth.  Visitors are then taken for a half-hour walk to view the parks and mansions along the lake's "magnificent kilometer."  At Pandin Lake:  You can take a 20-minute guided hike along a winding footpath leading to the serene lake.  A ride on a bamboo raft and fresh buko juice are provided.

Reservations necessary.  Call Mandy Marino at (+63917) 5016694.
