HOW TO GET THERE
HOW TO GET THERE
If you have your own car, just find crossing Magpayang
going to Mainit or Matin-ao. Look for the sign of “Magpaso Wellness Resort” in junction
Mapaso. From crossing, another one km
rough-road-drive going to the location of the hot spring.
From Butuan, ride in a bus bound to Surigao City. Tell the
driver/conductor to drop you in eskina/crossing Magpayang. There are tricycles and
habal-habal for hire in Magpayang. I
recommend habal-habal - it can tolerate the rocky and rough road going to the
location of the hot spring. Bus fare is P100+ for air-conditioned and much cheaper for
non-aircon while hiring of habal-habal
costs around P100-150.
From Surigao City, ride in a bus or van bound to Butuan
City. There are also multicabs bound to Kitcharao. Tell the driver to drop you in crossing Magpayang.

Thanks for this post! At least I can suggest a new place to visit to my family! :)
ReplyDeletewelcome yette- thanks for dropping here :)
DeleteThis is the most exotic, epic place I've ever seen. That hot sprint has my name on it!
ReplyDeleteang cute lang ng name ng lugar.. MAIINIT goes well with the name of the resort.. MAPASO :)
ReplyDeletekatuwa naman ang mura ng mga fees ^^
ReplyDeleteI've always loved going to natural sites-turned-resorts. It's a breath of fresh air, literally and figuratively. And wow, ang mura ah. :)
ReplyDeletexx Daphne of www.daphnebenosa.com
im visiting this site on september! So ganito pala ang mapaso :D Wala tlga akong idea na ganito pala. maganda pala <3
ReplyDeleteI wanna go there too! :) Thanks for this post, I have yet another place to discover :)
ReplyDeleteParang ang sarap na nakaktakot.. O talagang duwag lang ako sa ganitong lugar..Thanks for sharing..
ReplyDeleteI like to try that hot spring but it looks scary in there. Maybe I'm just too chicken.
ReplyDeleteNaalala ko tuloy ung anini-y hot spring n npunthan ko sa antque .. Mura din wow ha!! Tanong lng napaso ka? Lols
ReplyDeleteI haven't been to Mapaso yet but I guess it will be worth the visit! :)
ReplyDeleteI hope I can visit this and see how it can cook eggs =p
ReplyDeleteI would definitely try the "hottest pool". I'll bring chicken eggs with me when I try that so that I'll have something to eat while enjoying the hot water... :)
ReplyDeleteIve been to only a few Hot Springs, one is in Pansol, Calamba Laguna
ReplyDeleteand the other one is in Coron, Busuanga (Maquinit Hot Springs)
They're such an unforgetable bath experience, really loosens tired muscles,
especially in Coron, after perhaps a long day of island hopping or trekking Mt Tapyas.
What a medicinal or therapeutic place of water or spring. This reminds me also of our local summer resort here somewhere in Mambucal, Murcia, Negros Ocidental. There is a hot spring which could cook several pieces of eggs and there is another one, a sulfuric spring, which could cure some skin diseases.
ReplyDeleteComparable siguro to Pansol famous hot spring resorts. Pwedeng maluto ang itlog? ang init naman nyan.
ReplyDeletewow!!okay sana kaya lang malayo sya for sure the place is worth the travel
ReplyDeleteI was able to try a similar attraction in Coron, Palawan. I should really see Surigao del Norte too.
ReplyDeleteI don't think I have been to an actual hot spring resort, this looks like another good place to visit with friends or family.
ReplyDeleteSwimming on a hot spring sulfuric water is what I always wanted to experience. Yes, I haven't got the chance to do it and your post (along with the photos) really makes me wanted to try it ASAP.
ReplyDeleteI am just hoping that they can continue to make this clean and green so it will last longer and in the long run will contribute to its tourism industry.
ReplyDeleteFrom the name itself (Mapaso) you can already identify that it is hot, and its ironic that the name is cool though! :)
ReplyDeletePinoy na pinoy ang magluto ng itlog sa hot springs!!
ReplyDeletean experience swimming in a sulfuric spring pool which makes my body relax....i was there last May 11, 2014 with my relatives...
