You don’t have to be rich to travel well (Eugene Fodor), just be wise! Traveling is not always money, sometimes it mostly need to appreciate little things that we have around us.
You don’t need to go miles away from where you are to travel. COVID19 is still around the corner and you don’t want to be infected by this virus. Try to walk around near you. Maybe you haven’t discovered yet some places around. Walk. Jog. Feel and try to appreciate your own place and you will be able to see the beauty and hidden treasures that you haven’t seen yet.
Let’s just appreciate a few of the best and simplest things you can experience in Tayawan Negros Oriental.
Maybe it is because I am from Baguio, a highly urbanized city.
Tayawan is a barangay in the city of Bayawan province of Negros Oriental. It is situated at approximately 9.5095,122.7420 in the island of Negros. Elevation at these coordinates is estimated at 305.3 meters or 1,001.6 feet above sea level. Tayawan shares common border with the other barangays just like San Miguel, Minaba, Narra, Kalumboyan and more.
It is more or less 1 hour from Bayawan and 62 miles away from Dumaguete City (capital city of Negros Oriental).
The main revenues of Tayawan come from land farming, livestock production, buy and selling (selling dry goods, livestock, vegetables, ready to wear garments and others).
Tayawan is a rural area with huge and wide sugar cane plantations around the corner. In this area you will see the beautiful sunset. You can enjoy the peaceful and calm environment with the greenery sugar cane, walking with the wind while touching/feeling the rough leaves of this sugar cane. Have a good walk, then jog. Take some photos for souvenirs and as a remembrance with crazy moments and memories.
On the other side of this place, we enjoyed walking with the beautiful scenery and discovered a huge stone on our way. It is really huge. We try to climbed and reached the top (wow overview of the whole field with the beautiful sunset) had a selfie and take some photo with the gorgeous background of clouds and the never ending plantations.
Aside from these, Tayawan also has a rubber tree plantation. (I am not sure how many hectares of rubber trees grown in this place) I don’t have enough knowledge about this rubber tree. Out of curiosity, it catches my interest when we visited the area because of those cups like with milky thing on it so I ask what this rubber tree all about and how they make it in farming. This crop is used in reforestation initiatives. The crop extract is called the latex which flows from the back of the tress and served as income source. The income of this farming is high. Rubber farming generates year round. These rubber tree also generates quality lumber and can be used in furniture industry, help reduce ground temperature and helps mitigate climate change.
According to the article from Rainforest Alliance, rubber tree was first discovered by the ancient Olmec, Maya, and Aztec. The latex sap from rubber tree was once used to make rubber balls, to waterproof clothes and even to form homemade shoes. The rubber tree will grow to heights of 100-130 feet and can live up to 100 years. Its most famous feature is the milky white sap known as latex which flows freely from the tree when a silver of bark is removed. A rubber tree is also referred to as rubber wood can be tapped for latex once it reaches approximately six years of age….
As I stay longer in this place, there’s plenty of experiences to enjoy that don’t have to cost a single centavo. Walk around and feel the place.
One day at a time. One simple beautiful stay in Tayawan Negros Oriental. Looking forward to explore and discover more.
