Mainit Spring In Malabuyoc (Year 2011)

Mainit Spring is Located in Malabuyoc, Cebu. Please take a look at these photos:

The trek of going to Mainit Spring, (year 2011) was so hard.  You need to pass through the rocky and slippery human path going up to the Spring.

That time (year 2011), the Spring was not developed yet. The path is so dangerous falls are not as clean as you think as it is.

Why it is called Mainit Spring?

According to them, I think there is a volcano around the area because the main source of water (where the falls come from) is not Mainit. It is really really cold water. Natural water from the Source.

But when it reaches to the stream, the water becomes warm to hot that it can boil an egg. We dug a little so the water will stay a bit longer while soaking (like in the bathtub) because it is warm.

Fast forward up to this year:

Hearsay, they have developed the area and put a cemented tub where warm water can stay longer and you can enjoy a warm bath.

The stream is where the land produces warm or hot evaporated air.

Going down......

Climbing up with the bamboo ladder for the FALLS 3...

The Mainit Spring and Falls is located behind that mountain.. 

 Almost there......

There it is.. Behind that little cave... TAKE NOTE: THIS IS JUST THE FALLS NUMBER 3. WE DID NOT MAKE IT TO THE FALLS NUMBER 7 BECAUSE IT'S TOO SCARY.  

This water is luke warm. 

UP... UP..UP

That's it.Sorry If this was not arranged properly.

This is a Photo of SM City, Cebu, Philippines. As you all know that SM supermalls is one of the largest and famous malls in the Philippines.

SM City Malls have expanded through the years and in fact, they had constructed a new SM Seaside mall and opened to the public for a few years now. It is located in the South Road properties (SRP) and probably one of the biggest malls in Asia.

But still, SM City Cebu located in Mabolo, Cebu, Philippines is still one of my favorites. A lot of budget-friendly boutiques can be found in the original SM CITY CEBU. You can choose a lot of variety of products that you want especially if you are into budgeting.
