Danum Lake Between Sagada and Besao

In search of that endangered plant specie that my friend was bent on cataloguing, we got up early the next morning then cooked breakfast at our lodging in Sagada Homestay. Having filled our bellies with a heavy breakfast, we set out to continue our journey to Besao. On our way to Besao, we stopped by at this place called Danum Lake. Danum is a local dialect both in Ilokano and Igorot which means water, that's how the place got its name. This Danum Lake is located between the boundary of Sagada and Besao Mt. Province. It is a natural reservoir, a basin of water at the top of the hill and it is a favourite picnic ground for the people because of its breathtaking scenic beauty.  We did find some of the endangered plants in Besao and in Sagada.
