Description of the Island-Hopping Tour
Kayangan Lake
A beautiful enchanting lake enclosed by limestone cliffs and hardy greenery. Used to be enchanted, as the legend goes. The Tagbanuas, the tribe who live on Coron Island, believed the spirits of their ancestors dwelled at the lake. To open up the lake to the public, some rites were performed in order to transfer the spirits to the biggest and highest lake on the island, the inaccessible and the forbidden Cabugao Lake (still forbidden!!!). The lake is a three time winner as the cleanest lake in the Philippines, and thus is a Hall-of-Famer. |
Maquinit Hot spring
A 43° hot spring, quite hot really. The owners built huge circular pool to contain the Sulfuric hot water from two small springs at the foot of a mountain. The pool then flows into the sea. A salve tired muscles after a long day of touring, and also a relief for rheumatic and aching bodies. |
