Sto. Nino Cold Spring @ Camiguin

Sto. Nino Cold Spring is a terrific huge pool, about 40 meters long, filled by the spring. It is near Catarman and a perfect wind-up after a tiring trek in the mountains. For a minimal entrance fee of just ten pesos, you can enjoy the very cold pool and swim along with the small fishes there. As for me, I found the water too cold so i just dip my feet in there and roam around the place to shoot.

  5. It's beautiful there. I think the water would be too cold for me, too. I used to go to a similar place an could barely take walking in it.

  6. What a crystal clear water there is. Swimming and diving would be just brilliant there I presume.

  22. Hello everyone. I never thought that I can have a breather from heavy work these past few weeks so i'd like to take this time to bring by my comment-back features in my previous posts:

    @ dina - shalom. glad you enjoyed my posts.

    @ bertN - if not for the hectic sched in our itinerary and a very cool weather, i won;t mind staying there overnight.

    @ alicesg - i agree. the cold water is just too cold for me thou.

    @ the dong - malamig daw ang tubig dito kasi galing ito sa bundok at fresh water talaga.

    ReplyDelete
  23. @ reena - ako rin marami di napuntahan lalo na yung mga falls kaya babalik talaga ako dito.

    @ eye in the sky - cute nga nila, buti andoon sila that time.

    @ louise - i walk in the shallow part of the spring and it is soooooo cold that i decided not to swim.

    @ chrome3d - if the weather is hot, it would be perfect to swim in there but the day i went there, the weather is cool.

    @ sylvia k - you are very much welcome and thanks for the visit.

  24. @ andy briones - totoo yun bro. kahit sa soda pool ang mura ng entrance. wala naman kasi masyado investment sa tubig kasi free flowing from the mountains yun.

    @ photo cache - i agree. perfect after an arduous mountain trek.

    @ pradeep - thanks, will visit your blog too.

    @ brit' gal sarah - it is an ideal place for summer and a good alternative to those who do not want the salty beach.

    @ vanessa - did i teel you na may mga isda at eel rin doon na lumalangos?

    ReplyDelete
  25. @ sheng - malamig talaga. naglakad pa lang ako sa shallow portion nangatog na ko eh. pero masarap tyak doon pag mainit ang panahon.

    @ everlito - sa bundok daw parekot at pwedeng pwede maligo dito.

    @ luna miranda - wala pa nga rin ako medyo napupuntahang malayo this year eh. although i have lots of plans in the summer. (work permitted)

    @ lalaine - kakatuwa nga yan. by the way, imbento ko lang mga pangalan nyan lol.

    @ kyels - yup i agree. parang ang sarap pag masdan kahit isa oras ko sa spot na yun.

  26. @ redlan - cute nila no?

    @ sidney - thanks. the entrance fee is really almost a give-away.

    @ allen yuarata - indeed.

    @ gaelyn - there is a hot spring in there too kasi volcanic island ang camiguin pero di ko napuntahan yun eh.

    @ ailee920 - the place is indeed maganda. thanks for liking the shots.

  35. This is in Mindanao? This place looks better than my home town in Laguna. Especially the spring. I am fond on going to springs. But the only one I tried of is Hidden Valley Laguna since it is near where I am from. How much did it cost you to go to this place?
