Wow! What a great place,Anyone who comes to Negros should visit baslay hot sulphur springs,its a long way down the 350 steps and even longer on the way up!!! But it worth all the effort.
Anyway four of us went for the day and had a great day there just relaxing in the hot smelly water hehe. Also we took some great pics and i explored the outer reaches of the rainforest,i have always wanted to visit a rainforest and all around Mt Tallinis is rainforest and it is the highest peak in southern negros.Was offered a guide to take us to the top and camp one night next to the lake so this is on the agenda sometime soon :)
After this place was destroyed by tropical storm sendong in December 17 2011 it is now up and running again to an extent, the piping is not fixed very well for the cold water but you can drop the black cold water pipe into the pool to cool it down to the required temps. Also the path from the bottom of the steps has never been replaced but it's not difficult to cross the small river and walk up to the pools. The nippa cottages are also all collapsed due to lack of maintenance but I'm siure someone soon will renovate one or two of them.
Unfortunately these hot springs we partly destroyed in the big flood of December 2011 and are no longer maintained which is a great shame as have enjoyed many a day out and picnic there. It's still possible to visit the springs bou not advisable to take a dip as too hot now.
