More "Mainit" Photos

Mainit is a must-see destination when you're in Bontoc. You can find Mainit-bound jeepneys at the corner of Chakas Building (sorry I don't know the name of the street) and the main road of Bontoc Central. Travel time is between 30 to 45 minutes.



Enjoy a relaxing dip at the Ben-Vick's Rest House, owned by Mr. Benedict Odsey.



Or try Mrs. Eleanor Geston's swimming pools near the entrance of the village.



Walk around Mainit and you'll find interesting aspects of its people's culture.



Mainit also boasts of its own stone-walled ricefields.

Hot talaga ang Mainit, di ba?:-)

Mainit, Bontoc

Too bad the rainy season started early this year. But for those of you who still want to have a late summer adventure, try visiting Mainit, a small village in Bontoc. My advice: you have to stay overnight so you could visit the public dipping pools at dusk and listen to the women (and men) share their stories.

Here are some photos taken by a friend's mobile phone camera.
