Imagine boiling sulfuric mud and waters heated by the underground volcanic vents from the veins of the grand Mt. Apo gushing out to a mini lake and pools. It’s no “Dante’s Peak movie” scene, rather it’s a haven for nature’s cool and hot baths in the upland forests surrounding Lake Agco.

Dubbed as the Eden of Kidapawan City in North Cotabato, Lake Agco is home to natural lake of boiling sulfuric mud hot mud and water pools which make it a wonderland of cool weather and hot dips!

It was an unexpected return for me to the place that served as my resting ground before and after I completed my first solo guided climb to Mt. Apo in 2011. This time I was with wacky group of obedient office dudes and dudettes who, on one fateful day, decided to travel to breathe fresher air and get some dose of sun in the uplands of North Cotabato.

Lake Agco Mud Spa was coined as the ‘Garden of Eden’ of Kidapawan city. Its one of the most visited scenic spots at the foot of Mt. Apo. Surrounded by mountain ranges, Mount Apo is a protected area and is the top climbing destination in the country. Lake Agco is located 1,250 meters above sea level in Ilomavis Village around 25 kilometers from the city proper of Kidapawan. The hot mud and water meet with cold water at this elevation level. Resorts managements combine the hot and cold to create pools and Jacuzzis with controlled temperature and fit for dipping and bathing.

Lake Agco or Lake Agko is one of the famous destinations in Kidapawan City. Some call this place as Eden of Kidapawan which it is indeed and no wonder because it is located at the foot of Mt. Apo, the highest mountain in the Philippines, towering at 10,311 feet above sea level.

This paradise is a home of 272 birds species more than 40 percent of which is endemic in this area, a home of our national bird the Philippine Eagle. A place that was covered with countless numbers of flora species.

Lake Agco is one of the four major lakes in Mt. Apo including Lake Venado. Aside from the difference in location which Lake Venado stands elevated at 7200 feet above sea level and Lake Agco stands elevated at 4200 feet above sea level making it more accessible to tourist. Lake Agco create a difference from the other three as it is a steaming blue lake from which you can see and smell the boiling sulfur from the lake itself. Around it is the amazing collision of hot and cold springs.  Read More:  https://www.asiatravelgate.com/agco-lake-north-cotabato-philippines/
