You can manage to visit all the seven lakes depending on your pace. It is better if you can check a map of San Pablo City to familiarize you with the location of the lakes and their distances. Try also to read articles and blogs about the lake as they give instructions on how to reach the lake. For my trip I decided to visit first Bunot Lake next is Pandin Lake followed by Calibato Lake. I decided to visit Sampaloc Lake the next day as I wanted to watch the sunrise at the lake.

Bunot Lake
The first lake that I visited was Bunot Lake. Bunot Lake got its name because of the coconut trees growing around the lake. I was dropped off by the tricycle driver at the entrance of the lake. You have to walk for some short distance to the drop off point to get a view of the lake. There are several trails and you could get lost and end up in the rows of houses built along the lake. Luckily, on my way to the lake, I met up two other tourists who just went to the lake and gave me the directions.

When I reached the lake, voices of kids taking a dip at the water welcomed me. At the center of the lake you will see fish pens and at the side there are aquatic plants. I even saw fishermen going into the water with their nets.

There are only few people going to the lake because it is more of a fishing area than a tourist destination. The water is also murky because of the fish pens.

The view of the Bunot Lake has a rural setting – a lake with fish pens, house surrounding the area with a mountain as a backdrop.
