Unsure and unflattered of the sight, I thought of backing out but all the other girls had no hesitations and without any words, they slipped into the cave. So I thought to myself, “Alright, I can do that!”.

Inside, flashlight is a necessity something that I truly regret forgetting for I didn’t pay much of attention when I was packing up my stuff! I thought, ” I can die here without a light”. Good thing, a guide got one extra for me- a penlight! So, I checked what’s inside the cave. There were huge brown rocks as if intentionally carved asymmetrically with chisels and mallets. At 1st I thought “this cave could be a tunnel made by the Japanese way back world war II”. But as I looked closer, the boulders and the walls are authentically created by nature.

Itogon is a town in Benguet you never imagine having these hot springs. It was like a travel to the untraveled parts of the highlands, or somewhat similar to traveling to Sagada, only that you are getting into a valley portion and it’s hot in Itogon rather than cold.

Being on a significant elevation above sea level, Itogon enjoys the same climate as Baguio City and it is such a great experience to dip in a warm water swimming pool with a cool mountain breeze blowing on your face. Read More: https://bellekrng.wordpress.com/2013/09/03/1300-hot-spring-itogon/
