Hurom-Hurom Spring

It was a fairly long tricycle ride for just P20! We passed by 3 spring resorts before coming upon Hurom-Hurom. It was the last one where the road ended, just at the base of the mountain. Hurom-Hurom is the original and the biggest spring source. There were many pools sourced from the same spring. Some go deep to 7 feet while some are essentially wading pools. The water is refreshingly cold, but not super cold. I went where water was coming out of the rocks and drank as much as I could – I even bottled 1.5 liters of it!

Hurom-Hurom is privately owned and run by a family. They have a small convenience store in the resort for drinks, snacks and barbeque. There are also picnic huts scattered around the pools which can be rented. Despite its increasing popularity, it remains spartan and simple for the locals to afford and appreciate. I enjoyed having a brief talk with sisters Pamela and Nina who gave me a candid backgrounder on the history of the spring and the current tourism issues.  Read More: http://www.thelonerider.com/2016/dec/hurom_hurom/hurom_hurom.shtml

Hacienda Maria has two caves where you can see various forms of the glittering stalactite and stalagmite deposits inside. If you listen closely, you can even hear water kissing the stones, bringing a feeling of peace and oneness with Earth. Read More: http://windowseat.ph/aklan-things-to-do/

The Kalibo Cathedralwas originally built in 1581 and stands as the oldest edifice of worship in the province. Renovated in 1993 through the spiritual and monetary help of the Aklanons, the church’s renovation designs are one of the last works of the renowned national artist Leandro V. Locsin.   Read More:  http://www.kaliboaklan.gov.ph/2016/02/03/aklan-freedom-shrine/
