A Must-See, Must-Visit Natural Spring Pools in the Philippines – Timoga Cold Spring Pool, Iligan City

If you are in the Philippines or planning to visit soon most especially in Mindanao or Iligan City for that matter, you shouldn’t miss the must-see, must-visit natural spring pool at Timoga Cold Spring Pools (Preferably Mimar’s Springway Pools). I have been there, sadly, only twice within twenty-two years, but know what? Those memories still linger vividly till now because I consider that place one of the most unforgettable I have visited during a travel and vacation in my beloved country, the Philippines.

My love for clean, clear, natural rushing waters certainly has something to do with those memories. That’s why, for those who have this similar passion with mine I am sharing, and perhaps help inform you where to find that place as mentioned above. If you are not yet familiar with Iligan City the easiest way to get to this “must-see, must-visit” pools is certainly to ask the locals there or unless you have local acquaintance/s or relatives to guide and take you to the place. Let my photos of the spring pools complement my description below:

The man-made pools are fed by the flow of water coming from the cold spring somewhere up the stream.

I prefer to take my dips up the streams than at the man-made pools below (not seen in this photo).

A safer haven someplace along the streams.

Testing the violent rush. Not too dangerous after all. You need to have a firm hold and footing, though.

I just couldn't seem to get enough of the cool, soothing charge of waters. I Considered it water back-massage.
