This is the Mudspring. The mud is hot close to boiling that's why it's steamy there and there is the prevalent smell that is characteristic of things with high sulfur content.
Here's the info from the sign:
"The Mudspring"
This site is one of mud pots left on Mount Makiling, an inactive volcano. A mud pot is a type of hot spring that is formed when due to volcanic heat, sulfuric acids break down surrounding rocks into clay. The clay mixes with the water to form mud that is very hot (80C), sulfurous (50 mg/L), very acidic (2pH) and varying consistency and color.
Warning to visitors: Camping not allowed in this area. Boiling mud can burn your skin. Please do not cross the fence.

After an almost 3 hours of trekking at Mt. Makiling (University of the Philipinnes Los Baños) and it was raining the whole day. Mud is all over my body and my shoes were actually drowned with it. We also crossed the stream and climb the mountains. Haha. But our trip was fun tho. Best field trip ever!
