Hidden Valley Spring in Laguna

A first-rate spring resort in Alaminos, it will take a 40-minute walk before you can see the hidden falls of Hidden Valley Spring. Inside, however, is a tropical rainforest paradise as it is surrounded by hundreds of centuries-old trees; the oldest being 300 years old. Aside from the six pools with running water from Mt. Makiling, Hidden Valley also has a basketball court, a billiards area and mini golf course. What’s amazing about it is the combination of hot and cold water – hot from your knees down and cold from the shoulders up. Alaminos is 63 kilometers away from the south of Manila.
