DSB Feature: The Majestic Malatan-og Falls

Don Salvador Benedicto (DSB) is a municipality located at the center of the northern mountains in Negros Occidental and is about an hour and a half drive away from Bacolod City.  Due to its high altitude, the route towards the place provides a scenic view for travellers and the increase of tourists has paved the way for several cafes and resorts  to be opened in the area.  The place is unique for its garden of pine trees that line the sides of the main road but cautious driving is advised because of the winding road up ahead.  It used to be a famous spot where only the affluent families in Negros Occidental would own a property or rest house in these mountainous areas, aside from the locals that is, but recently the government has been active in supporting and promoting the tourism in the city which allowed local businesses to flourish in the area while preserving its natural resources and through their efforts has provided the locals with more employment and/or business opportunities.  It is also a favorite route for bikers and motorists.
