Mainit Hot Spring

MAINIT HOT SPRING, MALABUYOC

Malabuyoc is one of the places in Cebu Province endowed with beautiful natural wonders and resources.

Among its natural wonders, there you can find the concealed but well-known Mainit Hot Spring. It is hidden mainly due to its accessibility and distance, and not everyone can visit the place without any intense desire to explore its natural attraction.

Mainit (means “hot” in Cebuano language) Hot Spring is natural and untouched (yet) by resort development projects. This hot spring, which is also close to a waterfall, springs from the interior of two mountains.

Just close by, you can also discover about more than 5 waterfalls with various heights and waterfall intensity.

MORE FUN DETAILS

Going to this place is not so easy but not so difficult either. You need to be fit enough or better yet an adventurer in order to get to the place and enjoy the giftedness of nature.

As a starter, if you came from Cebu City, you need to travel for about 4 to 5 hours to reach the town of Malabuyoc.

Then, from the town you need to hire a local motorbike or tricycle to actually find and bring you the hot spring.

To get to the town from Cebu City there are public transports that are very accessible in the city’s bus terminals. Taxis and private cars can also be good transports to get close to the place more quickly.

Where the hot spring is, you can find a number of waterfalls, which are quite challenging and interesting enough to discover. You need real physical agility and strength to climb rocks and slippery steps to climb over from one waterfall to another.

Some visitors use bamboo ladders to climb over to reach the source of the falls, that is, if such a tool is available when you’re there. Most probably, somebody is already doing this for a business (bamboo ladder for rent… nice!)

Within those falls you can find caves, which is a fun find for those curious adventurers (just watch out snakes residing inside those caves and dark holes!)

The Hot Spring
The spring itself is not ‘fully’ untouched by development. Partially, somebody built a concrete wall to create a small pool of hot spring water where you can dip in (surely, the original hot spring water was shallow or low).

However, around the area where the hot spring is, you can find your own space, lie on your back and maybe use a rock as your pillow, wow! A hot spring bathing!
