Malumpati Cold Spring

MALUMPATI COLD SPRING

When in Pandan, Antique, don't miss the chance to visit the Malumpati Cold Spring. It's just about a fifteen-minute ride from the town proper. Enjoy a refreshing dip in its cool, clear waters.  Don't worry if you don't know how to swim.  For only P40.00 a piece, you can rent rubber tubes that you can use for the entire day. Take the plunge like these happy kids. If you are brave enough, you may also opt to climb up the trees and jump from there.  I've seen a couple of kids do the said daring act. The natural pool is about 20 meters deep so you don't have to worry about hurting yourself when you enter the water.If you get tired of swimming and jumping off the diving platforms, you may just hop on the bamboo raft and enjoy the cruise. If you want to spend the night, just ask the locals about the cottages they rent out to tourists. I believe the rate ranges from P500.00 to P1000.00.
