General Santos City is more than just being the famed ‘Tuna Capital of the Philippines.’ They have amazing tourist spots that will incite your nature-curious, adventurous, and lakwatsero mood.
The Sanchez Peak is a popular spot to visit when you’re in GenSan. It is the highest point of the city at 243.84 meters above sea level, and offers you an astounding panoramic view of both the city of GenSan, the mountains of Mt. Matumtum, Mt. Parker, and the Sarangani Bay we all want to visit. Sometimes, there will be a sea of clouds blocking the landscape view and at night the place becomes magical as you see the illuminations of the city.
It is best to visit Sanchez Peak early in the morning or on an afternoon extending to an overnight camp!
