Resort and Other Springs in Camiguin, Philippines
Constant fear is probably what one who resides near an active volcano has to live with every day. That’s especially true when one is in the company of seven volcanoes. Perhaps for the people of Camiguin, though, it has become part of their everyday lives. After all, danger is everywhere no matter where we are and the best way to deal with it is looking on the bright side. Yes, volcanoes, no matter how dangerous they are, have perks, too. Some of these perks come from deep underground — springs!
The island-province of Camiguin is blessed with so many springs — hot and cold. Powered by volcanic activities underneath, these tourist havens are perfect for those who have been longing for some, ironically, peace of mind as the water is sure to relax the body and rejuvenate energy.
Here are some of the spring destinations in this marvelous land of varying temperatures.

Esperanza Tagdo, Mambajao, Camiguin. Arguably the most popular spring places in the whole of Camiguin, Ardent Hibok-Hibok Spring Resort is located in Esperanza Tagdo, Mambajao, Camiguin. More commonly referred to as Ardent Hot Springs, it has several pools that visitors may choose from although the favorite is clearly the warmest, with water about 40 degrees Celsius.

There were too many tourists sharing the pool when we arrived but we still decided to soak in the crystal clear, blue water regardless. As in all the other hot springs we had tried before, the Poor Traveler just soaked and stayed at one comfortable spot. The ideal duration of stay in a hot spring is somewhere between 15-20 minutes. (I think we kind of broke that and stayed longer because we were really enjoying but please don’t do it.) Also, please don’t rub your skin as you might damage it when soaking.
By the way, if 40 degrees is too hot for your body to handle, there are other pools nearby that are less warm. You might want to consider choosing one of them. We also noticed that there were fewer people in “colder” pools.
