Puning Hot Spring

Puning Hot Spring is a natural hot spring resort in Sitio Puning, Barangay Inararo, Porac, Pampanga, at the foothills of Mount Pinatubo. Heated by the volcano's geothermal activity following the 1991 eruption, it features a series of warm pools set among lahar canyons and volcanic sand. Accessible only by 4x4 vehicles, it is known for its therapeutic waters, volcanic sand spa, and scenic off-road journey through riverbeds and ash landscapes.

Visitors can expect a 30-45 minute 4x4 ride through lahar riverbeds, canyons and ash fields to reach a secluded valley with 10-13 man-made pools of varying temperatures fed by naturally heated spring water. The setting is surrounded by lahar walls and volcanic sand. Facilities include open-air pools, sand spa huts where warm volcanic sand is used for body treatment, cottages, showers and a restaurant. The experience combines off-road adventure, warm water bathing and views of the Pinatubo foothills.

Hot springs developed after the 1991 eruption of Mount Pinatubo, which deposited extensive lahar in Porac and created geothermal-heated waters; the area was later developed as an eco-tourism destination showcasing the post-eruption landscape
