The Mainit Hot Springs are a popluar tourist attraction near Caibiran in Biliran Province. Biliran Island is like one large Volcano with many peaks and valleys full of waterfalls and hot springs that make it a magical place to visit. The water at the springs is very hot! so you will normally find you can only keep your hand in the water for a few seconds, but as the water mixes with the fresh clean water from the river it cools down to more comfortable temperatures.

The Mainit Hot Springs are in Villa Vicenta Baranagy, part of Caibiran Municipality, Biliran Island. The Hot Springs are found along a long road from the small village of Mainit, that you will find on the Biliran Circumferential Road, just outside Caibiran.

Still in Almeria, but after the Bagongbong Falls, we headed onward north and reached this beach called Talahid. There are resorts here, from those with rooms and other amenities like swimming pools to those that are simple little open huts called “cottages”. The sand i this beach is a little bit different from many we see. It is generally called “white sand” but there are shades from a bit yellow to a bit gold to even a bit orange or red. And coarser. A wonderful place just the same. Read More: http://philippinetravelnotes.blogspot.com/2010/03/talahid-beach-discoveries.html
