Caramoan Adventure: Puyaters goes to TABGON


TABGON (Carmel Caglago Caramoan Cam. Sur) – a small Baranggay where 2 beautiful tourist destination lives. By: Belle Alde

 Tabgon is about 25-30 minutes boat ride from La Playa Resorts. Motorized Bangka is available for rent to any Island destination ranging from Php 1,500 - 2,500 a day. 

A view from afar ( Our Lady of Holy Rosary)
As for our first destination in Tabgon we decided to visit the “Groto” OUR LADY OF THE MOST HOLY ROSARY (Mother of Peace). Seated on top of the mountain with 500 or more (from easy to slightly difficult) steps.


It wasn't the first time Exzur will visit the Groto, so he knew a little of what to bring hmmm.... water (/) Ice candy (/) hmm not bad hehehe something cold to freshen up... 
Fifteen pesos will be collected as for maintenance fee. Souvenir and other religious items are also available for sale.
Finally!  hmm hehehe were not done yet!. We are just about to register and start


Puyaters Jumar Esperida Alliorde and Exzur Amador Chavez was the first to climb leaving Marchbelle Aldz ( not intentionally) behind, they climb like a pro... and I’m crawling and struggling. One of my unforgetable experience is on my way up, I felt mixed emotion ,the worries that I might faint, a feeling like I’m getting LBM plus the effect of the mid day heat... in the middle of the mountain! Oh sweet Jesus! 
Wait ! Did I just Puke?as Jumar and Exzur watching me I can see worries on their faces.. I told them "I'm fine"  (showed them thumb up sign)
Its not him who finish the climb but rather it's  Jumar Bwhahaha... sorry dude! anyway that was a nice shot.. Thanks to Jumar


Though I really feel like giving up but I didn’t. I manage to do it and I survived and it was really great. 
Can you Imagine how big the statue is?

Jumar Belle and Exzur
with our tour guide manong.............hmmm.. I forgot... hehehe
Did you just see the rays to him? Or your more into the beautiful spot.




Our Journey to the Groto was priceless indeed, the scenery the was great!. seems  like you’re  top of the world kind of feelings not to mention the mixed cool Sea breeze mountain smell and air fanning your face... It is worth of sacrifice we made up there... and we all enjoyed with a successful smile on our faces
