8 years agoIt's kinda hard to find the spring and the pool is very hot (~120*F) but you can sit in the stream down the pool where is a bit colder. You gotta walk by a house and some rice fields to find the place. It's worth the adventure and tipping is not mandatory (50 pesos) but recommended.

9 years agoNaturally speaking it can be an interesting place, the water is very hot and the colour is brown green. To reach the place you have to walk in a dark mud for several minutes. The lady at the entrance ask you 50 php as fee to pass in her private property, but she totally doesn't care about the path. Forget to reach the place with dry feet. Arrived there, is not possible to deep in if you'd like to do it: the water is too hot and not inviting. The nearby waterfalls are much better and you can have swim, the local fee is just 20 php.

5 years agoVery difficult to find. We got muddy as hell and sunburned on the rice fields trying to find it. Finally had to decide to go back without seeing it since the way got worse and worse.
