Lake Agco’s Secret

Looking for a cheap thrill this summer? Visit Lake Agco in Kidapawan.

Today I went to Lake Agco, a local tourist spot and a popular place for camping in Kidapawan City. The place is expected to be jumpacked next month for the Holy Week Celebration. Lake Agco is also the starting point for mountaineers who wishes to climb Mt. Apo. Many prefer this trail because its the quickest and the safest way to the top. A lot of changes have been made from the first time I visited this place during my elementary days. Among the popular attractions here are the boiling sulfuric lake and the hot and cold springs.

Lake Agco is the evidence that Mt Apo is an active volcano because of its boiling mud lake. Its not only in New Zealand where you can have a healing sulfuric mud bath. Going here is less than an hour from Kidapawan, local jeepneys and habal habal can take you here.

Construction is still on going to develop the site.

The water is not crystal clear now because of the heavy rains in the mountain but it is still very cold. Groups can do grilling at their wide grill area. The place has still lots of potential for tourism.

Lake Agco’s entrance fee is P15 for Day travellers and P20 for overnight stays per person. Jacuzzi is only P10. The smell from the Jacuzzi is sulfuric and not reccommended for people with asthma.
