Santo Niño Cold Spring
About
After Ardent's hot pools, come here to freeze! Santo Niño is a big swimming pool fed nonstop by clear spring water running down from Mt. Hibok-Hibok, so it stays icy cold and see-through all day. Coconut palms and gardens wrap around it, local families bring lunch and floaters, and the whole place has a slow, happy picnic mood. Jump in, scream, repeat!
Dry until sunset (5:23 PM). Good time to go!
