Insider tip — On the lower flanks of Mount Apo, the Philippines' highest peak, sulfurous springs emerge in a jungle ravine surrounded by primary dipterocarp forest and the calls of Philippine eagles. The pools are part of the Mount Apo Natural Park buffer zone and require a local guide and park permit. Water temperature varies pool by pool, with the best bathing spots at 40-44°C downstream from the main vent. Combined with the trek to Apo's summit, this is the signature geothermal experience of Mindanao.
