Bioa Putiak Hot
Spring is one of the most attractive natural tourism objects in Bengkulu
Province. It is located about a stone throw from the highway of Air Kopras
Village, in Lebong Utara Sub-district, Lebong Regency, Bengkulu Province. It is
about 10 km to East from Muara Aman City (as the second main city of Lebong
Regency after Tubei as the Capital City of the Regency).
Actually, there are two kinds of spring water here. They are
the cold water and the hot water which naturally flow and meet in one spot in a
river. The hot spring is very attractive,
because it naturally comes out of the earth, whereas there is no found any volcanic
mountains nearby the area.

It gives a different sensation, due to with the beautiful
natural scenery surrounding its location, the visitors are allowed to have a
steam bathing in the river where the warm water flows between the natural rocks. In some area, where the water is much hotter, can even
be used to boil eggs. It is so amazing!

In this location has been built a shelter as a place to take
a rest after or even before you have a looking around.
To reach this location, there are two choices. First you can
go there through North Bengkulu Regency, by passing Giri Mulya Village where
coffee plantations are along the road side. That will be your own nice natural scenery while going to your destination place. The second alternative from Bengkulu
City is through Kepahing (Kepahiang Regency), and then Curup (Rejang Lebong
Regency). By going through this way, you will pass by the Lake Tes.
Bioa Putiak Hot Spring has so many visitors, especially in

pictures. Can you imagine how cool it is? Just make a plan to come to Rejang Land soon. :)
