Marinduque Spots





Sulfur Spring of Bunevista, Marinduque

Summer is finally here. People start to plan and go to beaches and pool areas to enjoy the refreshing feeling of the water under the heat of the sun.  In doing so, I happened to discover a place where it is will somehow refresh me, but what really intrigues me about this place is how it is called by the locals there. It is called the Marinduque Sulfur Spring.
Sulfur Spring is situated in Malbog, Buenavista, Marinduque, beside the dormant volcano, Mt. Malindig. The Spring si composed of three different pools: the kiddie pool, the pool for the adult, and the pool where the sulfur spring can be found. From the spring, the water flows straight to the other pool. Sulfur, based on the traditional medicine, is believed that it can be used for medical skin treatment most especially for psoriasis, eczema, and acne. The mechanism is not yet 100% proven, although elemental sulfur acts as a mild reducing and antibacterial agent. And because of this, local residents and tourists, goes there to experience the soothing experience of the spring.
Marinduque Sulfur Spring is a public place that is being managed by the barangay officials. They charged 25php for adults and 15php for children 13 years old & below, they charge fee to maintain the cleanliness of the precious spring, and as for their cottages, its only 50php. And also, they don’t offer overnight stay on the spring, so enjoy the whole day of refreshing and calming spring of Marinduque Sulfur Spring.
The travel time to Malbog, Buenavista from the Port of Cawit in Boac, is approximately an hour or so. Getting there won’t be too hard for it is known in the town of Buenavista. Experience the wonders of Marinduque Sulfur Spring and fell in love with its beautiful surroundings and peaceful atmosphere.
