We had a lot a fun with the cold, crystal clear and fresh water of this resort. The climb up to the mountain of Carmen, Cebu is tough but worth it. Check these photos and let us know if they are convincing enough for you try it.
We arrived around 8AM in the morning and they were still cleaning the big tubs. Well they looked like it and the edges looked rough but I think the constant flow of the water has somewhat smoothed the sides and floor. While the staff were cleaning, leaves continue falling into the water. I guess they were also part of the package. They closed the secret hole of the tab to keep the water and then slowly the water fill in and later overflows back to the river.
We occupied the two connected cottages. Each cottage is rented for 500 pesos per day so we paying one thousand. Entrance fees for adult is 20 and 10 for children. Infant is free. Should you want to visit here, you need to bring everything. The place is isolated and you cannot expect to buy vinegar or charcoal in the middle of the forest. Yes, we are in the middle of these verdant mountains. Snakes can be roaming around but if you are a nature lover and loves trekking then this place is perfect for you. The resort is reach of fauna species as the owner is a collector. You will be surprise to see the varieties of ferns and orchids all around.
I love orchids but I am afraid of snakes so I rather stick with group than roaming around. We are now getting ready to swim and enjoy the coolest water ever!
I jumped immediately as advised by my big brother. He is right, for a while I feel cold but then my body adapted to the water temperature quickly. The water is just too cold that I cannot soaked in there for more than ten minutes. From time to time, we need to set at the rim under the heat of the sun to stop ourselves from chilling.
Swim Tere, swim haha! The feeling is so refreshing that I love it!! This is far different from swimming on man-made pools. No chlorine which means no bad smell. The water is sweet and tasty. Not only my throat is happy but also my eyes. This is a total wow!
We are glad that the sun is smiling over us. At least it can spare us from too much cold. Too much is not good haha!
Up there is the natures' curtain. Haha, at least snakes are not yet crawling up there. The worms could be but we just do not care yet.
Down below, beneath the natures' curtain is a happy family. Laughing and enjoying one of the natures' wonderful gift to mankind. Thank you mother earth, thanks to our heavenly father!!! Amen.
We, the lovely ladies had our picture moments too. A lot of it actually. Happiness is the key to beauty. We are all smiles all the way and that makes us beautiful.
And here comes the source of our happiness. The spring is right here so the water in this area is far better than the rest of the pools.
You can lie down on the floor or enjoy the big pillow-rock. We all love the water and why not? Haha!
Want as massage? This water flow can be perfect for the job.
Right beside the pools is the angry river.
Relax... relax... relax...
We tried to stop the water from flowing but our numbers are not enough. We end up getting a massage. Nice!
This kid is just hungry and needs some refill. But he is not quitting yet. He will be back to the water soon...
