Lake Agco Escapade

LAKE AGCO (Ilomavis, Kidapawan City)

     
       This place is at the foot of Mt. Apo, It was a hidden spring mountain resort located at Brangay Ilomavis in Kidapawan City, which is 2hours drive from Davao City using a private vehicle. You can also ride a van, the terminal is at SM Ecoland for Php 180 fare. In going to the resort you can take the "habal-habal" (motorcycle ride). The entrance fee is PHP 20 for daytour and PHP 30 for overnight. If with open cottage PHP 100 for daytour and PHP 150 for overnight.

      As you can see the water is not clear   literally it's color BROWN, but it's not dirty, it is a natural spring and it is therapeutic. The natural heat that came from the volcano's vent.

    Lake Agco is also known for its sulfuric mud that can be use as a therapy to the body. It can release stress and can even beautify your skin, so most tourists go there and even put some mud on their whole body. Even I tried it and put some on my face and body. Then rinsed it with their spring water. In fairness it actually gave me a relaxing feeling after.

       They also have pools for guests who don't like to take the mudspring and hotspring. The water of the pool is very cold and considered to be one of the most cold spring water here in Mindanao. You can actually see smoke when you talk because it very cold. And as part of their earnings also in their place there are some vendors outside the resort who are selling souvenir items and even hena tatoo painting for about PHP 50. You will surely enjoy this place especially with your family.
