Goin’ Nuts Over Nuts Huts

It’s not easy getting to paradise.

Impossible connecting road from the highway. The steepest staircase, from the entrance down to the reception area and restaurant, then down to the huts by the river. Very basic amenities. The restaurant closes at 10pm. You can’t bring food in your room/hut. That’s Nuts Huts for you.

And yet people keep coming back there. (We did, Good Friday ’til Black Saturday.)

There’s just something about this place, tucked safely beside the famed emerald river of Loboc, and in between lush vegetation off the inclines of a friendly mountain, scored enchantingly by the gentle cascades of a nearby low waterfalls and the constant chirping of birds and cicadas. Lazy hours that could stretch to days.

And so people keep coming back.

(Nuts Huts is a backpacker’s hideout located in Gotozan, Loboc, Bohol.)
