Everybody loves to indulge on cold waters especially during summer as
their way to beat the summer heat. And what else will be better than dipping into
it and feel refreshed?
In Iligan City, normally, when you ask the
locals the best places to chill, common answers will be Tinago Falls, and Timoga. However, there’s another place that is now
getting a lot of attention from tourists and locals who wants to take a dip in
a cold spring water during this scorching season.
Around
25 minutes from the City proper, Lawis
Natural Springs is another hidden gem of the City. Located in Barangay
Buru-un, Lawis will definitely
satisfy your need to relax and unwind in a nature scenery.
Surrounded
by tall coconut trees, a calming breeze from the springs will welcome you after
a few minutes stroll from the main highway. The nature scenery is at its most
charming and dipping in an icy-cool, crystal clear freshwater is the best part.
There
are cottages that can be used, surrounding the natural springs, which ranges
from P75 to a hundred bucks. Few mini-stores are present, and also Karaoke’s
for those who would love to sing their hearts out while relaxing.
The
narrow and rock-strewn path from the highway to the springs could’ve been
better to provide easy access for the tourists, however, it can be considered
as part of the challenge for those adventure-seeking nature lovers.
Lawis
has a potential to be another well-known tourist spot in the region, and the
best way to preserve this God-given gift, is to be well-disciplined in
maintaining the cleanliness of our nature.
