| North area of Valencia County, West of Dumaguete City Red Rocks / Pulangbato Gorge, Hot-Spring and Waterfalls -- a primary attraction of the Dumaguete area |
| Along the main NW Valencia Road just before the gorge entrance, is the smelly plumes of sulfuric steam on the broken mountainside across from the river -- which has become a popular place to stop for tourist photos. |
| On the other side of that road and down, flows the clean Upper Okoy River, with a rope-bridge crossing to the tiny roadless villages on the southern banks. |
| Just after the sulfuric vents, the Red Rocks Gorge appears on the right, as its iron-rich waters flow into the Upper Okoy River here. From the roadway looking north, we see the small cement bridge that crosses the stream, allowing access on a small dirt road the hot-spring and waterfalls. |
| The steep volcano-rock crags on the west side of the gorge |
| Entrance of the Red Rocks / Pulangbato Hot Springs, in the lower gorge |
| It's a not-really-hot but quite warm spring-water, very rich in minerals (not iron as in the stream) like magnesium, zinc, copper and etc; everyone says it feels very healing & soothing. |
