Lake Agco is located inside Mt. Apo Natural Park. It’s a natural wonder with lots of hot springs and cold springs, jacuzzi, steam bath and mud mask.
How to Go to Lake Agco
From Davao City, ride a van at SM Mall going to Kidapawan City. Once you arrive in Kidapawan, hire a tricycle and ask the driver to drop you at a habal-habal terminal going to Ilomavis. The fare for the habal-habal ride going to Lake Agco is around 100 Pesos per head.
Agko Mahomanoy Mountain Resort
Our choice of stay was Mahomanoy Resort since they have rooms with comfort rooms, open cottages and restaurants.
Contact Numbers for Inquiries & Reservation: 09489752052 / 09265721866
The resort is managed by Manobos who are friendly and accommodating. However, other tourists may not be so nice because one of my friends have lost a pair of shorts. So always keep an eye on your belongings!

The Boiling Hot Lake & The Mud Facial Mask
I guess the best attraction here is the boiling hot lake. You will literally hear the ground boiling and just look at that smoke!
The entrance fee here is 10 Pesos.
The mud around this lake is rich in sulfur and they say that it’s good for the skin. It can be used as a facial mud mask.
There’s also a healing spring which they say can cure certain diseases.
Surrounding the area Manobos’ Sacred Tribal and Ancestral Grounds. There’s even a sacred place that’s off-limits to tourists.
Jacuzzi at Antapan Mountain Resort
Another experience to try in Lake Agco is the jacuzzi bath at Antapan Mountain Resort.
| Entrance Fee | |
| Adult | 20 Pesos |

The resort is open from 5:00 AM to 7:00 PM only.
They also have their own steam room.
