Logarita Spring (Rajah Sikatuna Protected Landscape)

Overview

Logarita Spring is a pool and spring facility within the Rajah Sikatuna Protected Landscape in Barangay Riverside, Bilar, Bohol. It is classified under Sports and Recreational Facilities in the BPTO tourism inventory. The Rajah Sikatuna Protected Landscape is a NIPAS-protected area; its officially proclaimed area is 10,452.60 hectares (Proclamation No. 287, s. 2000), though the Bohol provincial tourism office’s own visitor-facing site cites a different figure of 9,023 hectares — the two sources do not agree and both are noted here rather than silently picking one. Logarita is one of four named mountain springs documented within the protected landscape (the others being Anislag, Mabugnao, and Aghuban). The official Bohol provincial tourism website describes Logarita Spring as a natural freshwater swimming area with “clear and pristine water,” and lists on-site amenities including picnic tables, benches, and restrooms.

What to Expect

A spring and pool within a forested protected landscape, described officially as offering clear, pristine freshwater suitable for swimming. The broader Rajah Sikatuna Protected Landscape contains reforested areas with mahogany, narra, and other hardwood species, and is documented to host 120+ bird species (including the endangered streaked reed warbler and Philippine cockatoo) and large mammals such as the Philippine tarsier, long-tailed macaque, and Philippine flying lemur. Nearby Duangon Cold Spring offers a comparison point for spring conditions in the area.
