The spring is about 40 minutes ride from Catbalogan by land and is located in Paranas, Samar. It is a nice place to hangout and refresh from the maddening crowd of the city. The water in the swimming pool comes from the mountains, expect it to be cold.

There are cottages where visitors can rest, but visitors are advised to bring their own food, because there are no restaurants or food stores there. Talk about privacy and isolation.
