Hidden Valley Resort, Laguna

Discover a paradise... neatly hidden between two mystical mountains of Banahaw and Makiling.

A 110-acre crater more than 300 feet deep formed during some fiery volcanic upheaval hundreds of centuries ago. From the cracks, more than hundred springs of varying water temperature came to life forming natural pools with the purest mineral waters reputed to be medicinal and rejuvenating.

Known as "ilalim" meaning "under", trees and plants emerged within the shadowy heart of the crater, undisturbed for centuries, surviving to become giants reaching for sunlight.

On the far side of the crater, the earth opened into a gorge creating hidden waterfalls. Here, you'll see rocks hanging perilously to the lodge.

Listen to the rhythm and sounds of swaying palms and ferns as it accompanies the gently cascading waters gushing forth from the mountainside.

Capture the sights of abundant greens, blooms and foliage, crowned by the majestic existence of 300 year old Amlang tress, the roots of which are even bigger than an average seven years old kid.

Hidden Valleys Springs contains at least 153 species of plant life, most of which are endemic and or endangered and atleast indigenous species of wildlife thriving in the virgin forest area.

The first to set foot on this place are Chinese traders from Manila some five centuries ago. Their trails exist by the waterfall where they left betelnut diggings an a deep, mysterious hole on top of the hill where at one time, were inhabited by strange white bats.
