| Mapaso Hot Spring |
Mapaso Hot Spring.
Located in Barangay Rizal II, Oquendo District, Calbayog City.
A 30-minute ride to Oquendo from Calbayog plus 15-minute hike to the spring.
“Mapaso” literally means hot. Fresh crustaceans (pokot) abound. They are
naturally pinkish resembling scalded shrimps due to the high temperature.

| Bangon-Bugtong Falls |
Bangon-Bugtong Falls. Located in Brgy. San Joaquin of
Calbayog City, an hour-and-15-minute ride to Barangay Tinaplacan plus 45-minute
walk to the vicinity of the falls. Among the family of waterfalls of Calbayog
City, Bangon, Bugtong Falls is one of the most majestic and spectacular spots
that is worth visiting. As one ascends the stream, he will be amazed to see a
circular pond about 30 meters in diameter, wide enough for swimming and deep
enough for diving. The cascading water seems to come from streams flowing
endlessly, resulting from the pressure of its disgorge, which becomes even
bigger in volume and noticeable as the time of the day passes. Bugtong Falls is
not only a tourist spot but also a potential source of power for Calbayog City
and its neighboring localities.
