One of the attractions in the town of Tibiao in Antique is the Kawa Hot Bath. As a complementary experience to the Kayaking adventure in this town, the Kawa hot bath offers Kayaking enthusiasts a relaxing way to cool down after an exhaustive struggle through the rapids.
Kawa Hot Bath is done by simply dousing in to a Kawa (local term for a very large fryer) heated in a relatively low temperature that the human body can deal with. To keep the water lukewarm they are adding more to it from time to time. It is a very unique and decompressing experience especially after Kayaking or trekking from the Bugtong bato Falls. And somehow with the feeling of being cooked thinking that the Kawa is under a real fire. Adding to the excitement is that you are in the middle of the mountains in which the Philippine folklore says where Aswangs (Witches) live. But not to worry as the people in Tibiao are harmless and very hospitable :) . They’d love to welcome you as their guests and so far they are akin to it because of the influx of tourists coming to Tibiao for their known adventure offerings.
