1. Malumpati Spring, Antique


Description: Malumpati Health Spring and Tourist Resort is located in Sitio
Malumpati, Brgy. Guia, Pandan, Antique. You can access this resort through Brgy.
Sto. Rosario and Brgy. Candari.
The water comes from the Malumpati Cold Spring Headwater located about 35
minutes walk from the resort. A man-made pool was created from the river by
constructing a concrete embankment so the water is kept at a certain level and
allows it to overflow during heavy rains. Local folks believed the Malumpati Cold
Spring has healing properties. Healing or not, dipping in the cold water has a
relaxing effect on the body. The water from the Malumpati Cold Spring feeds
the Bugang River, considered as the Cleanest In-land Body of Water in the
Philippines.
Location: Pandan, Antique

2. Maquinit Hot Spring, Coron


Description: Maquinit is one of the very few saltwater hot springs in the world.
Located along the southern coast of Busuanga Island, it is one 30-minute tricycle
ride away from the town proper of Coron along a rough, curvy road. It is said that
the water gets heated by a volcano and springs up into the two-tiered circular pool.
Its rough walls are built from stacks of rocks and its floors strewn with pebbles
not very friendly to the soles at first touch but adds a more natural feel, as if the
surrounding mangrove forest and the adjacent beach are not enough
Location: Coron, Palawan, Philippines
