Puning Hot Springs is a popular natural hot spring and spa resort located in Angeles City, Pampanga, Philippines. It is known for its unique and picturesque setting, nestled amidst the lush landscapes of the Mount Pinatubo region. The hot springs gained attention primarily due to their proximity to the catastrophic eruption of Mount Pinatubo in 1991, which caused significant changes to the local environment.
After the eruption, a lahar (mudflow) had covered and reshaped the landscape, including the natural hot springs of the area. Over time, the locals realized that the hot springs were still accessible beneath the lahar deposits. This led to the establishment of Puning Hot Springs as a rejuvenating retreat, offering visitors a chance to relax in the natural thermal waters and enjoy spa treatments while surrounded by the volcanic terrain.
To reach the hot springs, visitors typically embark on a unique adventure that includes a rugged 4x4 off-road journey through the volcanic landscape. This journey adds to the overall experience and sets Puning Hot Springs apart from more traditional spa destinations. Once there, guests can soak in the warm mineral-rich waters, indulge in mudpack treatments, and enjoy various relaxation and wellness services.
Puning Hot Springs has become a popular destination for both locals and tourists seeking relaxation, therapeutic benefits, and a connection with nature. The combination of the hot springs' healing properties and the extraordinary landscape left by the eruption of Mount Pinatubo offers a one-of-a-kind experience that draws visitors looking for a distinctive spa experience.
