The municipality of Pandan is a home to the clear, turquoise waters of Malumpati Cold Spring, a popular weekend and summer destination in the province of Antique. Malumpati waters flow all the way to the Bugang River, another popular destination in town.
Aboard bamboo rafts, visitors will cruise along the crystal clear water of the Bugang River, considered one of the Philippines' cleanest bodies of water. The cruise passes through five barangays and along a dense forest and sparse villages.

Overrun by vegetation at the banks of the river are old, chipped statues of a woman flanked by two crocodiles on either side. This statue represents the local legend of
Inday Gamay, a woman who was the subject of a fierce battle between crocodiles
Manunggong and
Madurriao, both of whom died fighting in the Bugang riverbank where
Inday Gamay is said to have been hidden.
