Parian Mainit Spring


Mount Mayon sits at the heart of the province of Albay, and besides blessing the landscape with its exquisite perfect cone, the forces that keep it an active volcano have also given the land numerous natural hot springs that have benefited many with their therapeutic properties. One such spot, Parian Mainit Spring, is a popular swimming and picnic resort in Camalig, Albay.

Mount Mayon sits at the heart of the province of Albay, and besides blessing the landscape with its exquisite perfect cone, the forces that keep it an active volcano have also given the land numerous natural hot springs that have benefited many with their therapeutic properties.  One such spot, Parian Mainit Spring, is a popular swimming and picnic resort in Camalig, Albay.  A thermal swimming pool and cottages are also available. The spring is adjacent to the main highway.  The locals and the people who have tried the springs for themselves testify to its efficacy in relieving stress, and supposedly, many other ills that harm the body.  

How to get there

Deep in the heart of Bicol is the Province of Albay. Take the bus, train, or plane from Manila.

By Air

Albay can be reached by plane through the Legazpi Airport. It is served by Philippine Airlines, Air Philippines and Cebu Pacific flying daily to Legazpi from Manila or vice versa. The approach to Legazpi Airport commands a bird's eye view of the majestic Mayon Volcano-Albay's pride. Take the seat nearest the window on the forward section of the aircraft; the wings can get in the way of your view.

By Land

Several buses leave Manila daily to Legazpi like Cagsawa Travel and Tours, Inc., Philtranco, Peñafrancia, Amihan (AM) Travel and Tours, Isarog, St. Jude Transit and Goldline Tours, Inc. The terminals are located at the Araneta Center in Cubao and in Ermita, Manila near the Cultural Center of the Philippines. Travel during the day is cool. The lush green scenery is magnificent. Drop by the clean rest areas at the forest reserves of Atimonan in Quezon Province or at the Bicol National Park. The trip is as good as the destination itself.

The town is accessible by any vehicle from Legazpi city. For public transportation you can ride a jeepney that is bound for the town of Camalig.
