The Hidden Gem

Hey There! This is @tzae. Allow me to share with you one of my Nature hikes.Our family love nature as much as you do. No, I didn't like it before,but my mom in her consistent descipline in putting limits to my exposure to gadgets, she would likely to grab me along with her on her hikes or whenever she would visit "beautiful place" as she would call it whenever I asked her where.From that time on, I developed this new interest in nature and also trying to improve my photography.I hope you will like it and find it beautiful too!

"The Hidden Gem." I'll tell you why it's a hidden gem as you scroll and read along.

See that mountain from afar? It's where we are going. I took this photo late in the afternoon while my mom was driving,Shaky hands a bit.

It only took us 15 minutes from the main higway to the barangay where the hot spring is. We parked the motorbike safely and started the hike.

And down we go.It took us a while and it was slope so walking is just enjoyable..

Green scenery, huge trees, and wild vines which I thought that only exist in Tarzan movie when he swung and jump across another tree, that was real and there was lots of crickets sound and huge butterflies in combined colors black&orange, yellow-black&white. Hard to capture photos though because they can't stay still.You have to visit the place and see their beauty for yourself.

We went down from that stairs.This gigantic boulder is blocking the view but it also function as to thrill the visitors like'can't wait to see what's behind?'

Behind it, you'll see the stream and careful because it's hot.make sure to safely steps on rocks.

You'll be greeted with sulfur smell. Isn't it beautiful? Amazing how the plants near the steam survive. They are working in harmony perhaps.

Some people would come to visit this place for healing purposes commonly having skin problem like eczema,boils etc. The white powdered chalk like is what they rub on skin or where the problem is. Bingo! Free natural sulfur soap in abundance.

This is the hottest spring. My mom say's we should have bring eggs with us beacuse it's so hot it can actually cook.I'll bring next time,that would be fun experiment.

Remember the gigantic boulder that serves as entrance to this paradise? That wasn't the end.You have to continue to walk From the hot spring to the end and just follow the stream or else you won't be able see the other hidden gem; the waterfalls. This is another entrance,look like a hill split in two and in curve position so that's the reason why many people miss to see this waterfalls.

Welcome To the Paradise! The seeker will find.
Who would have thought there's more to see and even more beautiful?

There was just the two of us. It was quiet, so perfect, just the sound of the waterfalls, crickets, and birds.Exactly what my mom like, when no other is around.We enjoyed, we ate our avocado we soaked in the water.
