Resorts in Negros: Tejero Highland Resort and Adventure Park

Tejero is a popular getaway spot for folks in Dumaguete City because of its cool breeze, it's quiet ambiance, and well-preserved natural features. Up in the highland town of Valencia in Negros Oriental, Philippines, it is right at the outskirts of Dumaguete City. Valencia's considerable population of retired expats (mostly white Americans and Australians) suggest that this is a good place to be. Not too far from the basic necessities yet so close to nature, a perfect combination to make it a retiree's haven.












I had an opportunity to visit the place when Philsouth Properties invited me to facilitate a trainers' training for the on-call staff of it's recently completed team building facility. This visit happened in January 2015.

The public park in Tejero was ravaged by Typhoon Sendong in December of 2011. The government of Valencia and with generous private sector help from Philsouth Properties rebuilt the park and has just recently reopened it for public use in the later part of the year 2014.



While Philsouth Properties helped the government of Valencia rebuild the park, they built their own highland resort right across the Tejero public park, the Tejero Highland Resort and Adventure Park. THRAP features two (2) swimming pools, several cottages, a function room, and a diner. THRAP also manages the Isla del Rio events pavilion and open activity area, as well as the Project Lifelines ropes course facility, the only dedicated team building facility in island of Negros. Furthermore, Tejero Highland Resort and Adventure Park also manages the Tejero Eco-Adventure Tours which offer zipline rides, All Terrain Vehicle (ATV) tours, Buggy rentals, Utility Task Vehicle Rentals, and trekking tours. Aside from these, THRAP is still in the process of constructing two (2) camping sites that may be utilized for recreational camping or themed training programs to supplement the Project Lifelines ropes course team building facility.

  2. I've been to Valencia in Dumaguete and I love that the place is so cool and laidback, like the rest of Dumaguete. I haven't heard of Tejero Highland Resort, though, but it looks like a fun place to go camping and picnicking!

    1. THRAP is relatively new, less than 2 years in operation. It's the same way going to Forest Camp, right across the public park, about 1km before you reach Forest Park
