Malumpati Cold Spring

Malumpati Beach in Pandan ANTIQUE

Malumpati is very clear water...I really enjoyed to do some activities there, like zipeline trekking, relaxing in the rain forest and swimming in a cold water. 

The water comes from  Malumpati Cold Spring Headwater located about 35 minutes walk from the resort. A manmade pool was created from the river by constructing  embankment so the water is kept at a certain level and allows it to overflow during heavy rains. It was Saturday when we visited so the resort was full of people enjoying the long weekend with their families.
