Imagine yourself like a kid strolling on the streets on a winter day, with no coats on or whatsoever. Shivering from the breeze but still, with eyes full of wonder. Not caring of the cold, but instead, lying on the ground laughing while making a snow angel. Well that was what I was like when I experienced the cold waters of Eriberta Cold Spring.

Eriberta Cold Spring is located in Mahayag, Zamboanga del Sur. It is quite popular among the locals and usually their go-to to fend off the heat especially during summer days. The place is usually filled up with visitors especially during weekends and holidays when people spend time with their families. Though not far from the main highway, one must still conquer the rough and sometimes muddy roads going to the spring. Anyone can go there by private transportation or by chartering a habal-habal. We were lucky we used our friend’s family car to get there. Eriberta Cold Spring is one of our side trips during our Zamboanga trip.

Tukuran, which came from the Cebuano word “tukod” which means “to build” or “to construct”, is regarded as the Beach Capital of Zamboanga del Sur.

Just like any of us who wants to play in the sand, this beach may be a bit frustrating at first; but what made this special is that the people here are creative. So they put up floating cottages so that you can enjoy the swimming despite the big waves and the rocks.

These native and playful cottages can be reached with this bamboo raft. You just need to pull the rope so that this raft will move towards the floating cottages. Exciting and fun, isn’t it?
