About This Place
JABA Sulfur Lagoon
Also known as the Blue Sulfur Lagoon or Asupri sa Maiti.
The JABA Sulfur Lagoon is a natural geothermal attraction located in the highlands of Amlan, Negros Oriental. Known for its striking aquamarine-blue waters and surrounded by lush greenery, it offers a peaceful escape for nature lovers, hikers, and photographers.
Key Features & Visitor Information
The Water
The lagoon is famous for its vibrant aquamarine color, which comes from natural sulfur springs beneath the surface.
Unlike many geothermal springs, visitors say the water is refreshingly cool rather than hot, making it comfortable for swimming.
Health Benefits
The sulfur-rich water is believed to have natural therapeutic benefits, particularly for certain skin conditions.
Access & Safety
Prior Contact
Before visiting, it is highly recommended to contact the Amlan Tourism Office for updates regarding environmental closures or safety conditions.
Hire a Guide
A local guide is strongly advised, as the trail can be confusing and difficult to navigate, especially for first-time visitors.
What to Wear
Avoid wearing light-colored clothing.
Sulfur deposits may permanently stain fabric.
How to Get There
From Dumaguete
Travel to Amlan by bus or private vehicle.
Travel time is approximately 30–40 minutes.
To Barangay Jantianon
From the Amlan highway, hire a motorcycle taxi (habal-habal) to reach the Brgy. San Miguel Satellite Market located in the hinterlands.
The Hike
From the satellite market or boundary point, expect a 30-minute to 1-hour rainforest hike leading to the lagoon.
The trail passes through lush forest scenery, making the journey part of the adventure.
Tip: Bring drinking water, proper hiking shoes, waterproof bags, and a camera—the lagoon’s colors are incredibly photogenic.
