Los Baños, Research municipality in Laguna, Philippines
Los Baños spreads across 56.5 square kilometers at the foot of Mount Makiling, bordered by Laguna de Bay to the north.
The municipality originated from public baths constructed in 1589, when Franciscan friar Pedro Bautista established therapeutic facilities using natural hot springs.
The University of the Philippines Los Baños and International Rice Research Institute form a scientific community that conducts agricultural studies and environmental research.
The municipal territory encompasses fourteen barangays, including Anos, Bambang, Batong Malake, and Baybayin, with a population reaching 115,353 residents.
Natural thermal springs emerging from Mount Makiling provide geothermal waters that flow through multiple public and private bathing facilities.
