Small geothermal mud springs set in lush Mt. Makiling foothills — shoot bubbling mud pools, steam plumes, textured mineral crusts and surrounding rainforest. Best in early morning or after light rain when steam and mist add atmosphere; overcast light prevents blown highlights. Access via a short trail from Los Baños; basic trail, bring closed shoes. Small local fee/permit may apply; limited parking at trailhead. Great for intimate nature studies rather than grand vistas.
