Buhi Hot Springs are located near Buhi in Camarines Sur, Bicol Region, close to Lake Buhi, a volcanic crater lake famous as the only natural habitat of the sinarapan (Mistichthys luzonensis) — widely recognized as the world's smallest commercial fish, measuring just 10-13 millimeters long and harvested by local fishermen using fine-mesh nets for use in traditional Bicolano cuisine. The Bicol Region's landscape is defined by a chain of active volcanoes including the iconic Mayon Volcano with its near-perfect cone, lending the region both spectacular scenery and ongoing geothermal activity that feeds springs throughout the area. A visit to the Buhi hot springs combines mineral bathing with the chance to encounter this unique ecological curiosity in one of the Philippines' most volcanically active and culturally vibrant regions.
