A mountain resort (Mahomanoy Mountain Resort) has been built to make it more convenient for people visiting there. Transportation is, likewise, not a problem since there are a lot of means on how to get there. There’s a wide road and all you need to have is the right direction. The resort has the outdoor swimming pool as well as hot tubs for children and grownups alike… Not to mention, they have a natural sauna cave and a hot jacuzzi spring for people seeking relaxation. People can stay overnight by either renting their rooms or setting up a tent in their campsite. Lake Agco is known to be the first campsite for mountaineers conquering the Philippines’ highest peak (Mt. Apo), following the Kidapawan trail. For now, the resort owners are still continuously adding more facilities such as the bigger hot pool.
