Itinerary description

The Maliana Hot Spring are a very nice place to visit while you are around Maliana.

Build in Portuguese times, there is not much left of the original site, but the main bath with it's very very hot water is still there for you to enjoy.

The track describes the dirt road you have to take from the main road down the hot spring. Please note that this is really a 4WD track and you may even need to use low gear for 2 small parts of the track (on the way back) to make it up.

At the waypoint marked "Hot-Spring", you need to park the car and cross a small bridge for about 50 meters to get to the spring. if they fix this little bridge, you may get even closer.

Hot Springs Parking

This is the correct (near by parking) location of the Maliana Hot Spring. Google Earth shows a waypoint at location, but that is certainly incorrect. Zoom in and you'll see the pool less then 100 meters north-west of this point.

Exit-Main-Road

At this place, exit the main road between Maliana and Suai. It's a fairly large turn that also is used a bus stop. Usually you'll find people here waiting for a lift in any of the 3 directions.
