Sto. Nino Cold Spring (Catarman, Camiguin)

After our delightful lunch at Taguines Lagoon, we again boarded our hired jeepney and proceeded, along the west coast of the island, to Sto. Nino Cold Spring.  Also known as Kiyab Pool, it is located 4 kms. north and uphill of Catarman town proper.  From the main road, we made a turn into 2-km. long  dusty track.

The spring has 2 stone pools, the larger one measuring 25 m. by  40 m.  and its depth varies from one-half meter to 2 m.. The other is a kiddie pool.  The resort also has picnic huts, toilets, function hall and native stores for picnickers.  Being a holiday, the resort was packed with picnickers.  After paying an entrance fee, we swam its icy-cold, crystal-clear  spring water sprouting from its sandy bottom.  We shared the spring waters with some tiny fish.  After half an hour of swimming, we left the resort by 4 PM.
