Lake Venado is an endorheic lake situated at the foot of Mount Apo in the territory of North Cotabato, Mindanao, Philippines. It is the second most astounding lake in the nation after Bulalacao Lake of Mount Tabayoc. The name of the lake originates from the Spanish word venado, “deer,” attributable to the deer-like state of the lake.
Nonetheless, the general population living in the zone called the lake Linaw, a Cebuano word for “clear”, since its perfectly clear waters mirror the pinnacle of Mount Apo. Neighborhood clans trust the lake to be charmed, possessed by spirits.
The region of the lake is a well known campground for mountain climbers in transit to and descending from the pinnacle of Mount Apo, the Philippines’ most elevated mountain. In 2007, a Filipino mountain dweller slipping from the summit suffocated in the lake. Read More: https://www.hellotravel.com/philippines/lake-venado
Lake Venado is located at the foot of Mount Apo in the province of North Cotabato. Mount Apo is the highest mountain in the country with an altitude of 2,954 meters (9,692 feet). It is called the “Grandfather of the Philippines Mountains.”
Lake Venado is an endorheic lake, meaning it doesn’t flow into a sea. In dry season/months, the lake usually loses two-thirds of its size because of evaporation. It is nestled on a plateau, the remains of Apo’s ancient crater. It is the smallest and highest lake in the country with an estimated surface elevation of 7,200 feet above sea level and with a maximum depth of 20 feet. Because of its elevation, the water in the lake is freezing cold which could cause cramps on the swimmer. Swimming in the lake is entirely forbidden.
