The most beautiful natural sites to discover General Santos

This beach with volcanic sand is long and strewn with open cottages for picnic. Very pleasant with natural spring water pool. Water sports proposed.

Located less than a fifteen-minute drive from downtown GenSan, the Olaer Spring Resort is not strictly speaking a resort, but rather a sort of leisure park featuring a network of warm spring-water pools, linked by canals and ideal for swimming. It's best to come early in the morning or late in the afternoon, when the air is cooler. All around, bamboo and nippa cottages are available for rent. Families love to gather here to share a picnic.

Pleasant to climb. Lower, it reaches about 1 800 m above sea level. It is located in southwest Cotabato.

It dominates the Socsksargen region (2,293 m), in South Cotabato, around thirty kilometers from General Santos. Covering an area of 13,500 hectares, this former volcano has long since ceased to be active. Today, it is a popular destination for hikers. The trail starts in the municipality of Tupi, thirty minutes from General Santos. It takes between eight and ten hours to walk from its base. The vegetation is dense and the view from the summit (if it's not foggy) is superb.
