When I got the opportunity to book cheap flights to Coron, I couldn't resist and just booked the flights and scoured the Internet for affordable accommodations. The thought of looking at the famous Kayangan Lake landscape made me excited already. But before I got to Kayangan Lake, I made my way to Maquinit Hot Spring and Mt. Tapyas.
My first day in Coron was reserved for wandering around town, looking for souvenirs, and hiking up Mt. Tapyas.
Mt. Tapyas was an easy climbing compared to the other mountains I've trekked. The mountain had concrete stairs and plenty of benches to rest in. I took my time and basked in the panoramic view that the mountain offered. After just 25 minutes of leisurely hiking, I got to the top. The peak provided a sweeping view of Coron Town and the beautiful landscape of the surrounding islands.
My next stop was the Maquinit Hot Spring.
The Maquinit Hot Spring's water was soothing and relaxing. I stayed for a while to relax my body and feel the warmth piercing through my skin.
The day ended on my first day in Coron as the sun set on Maquinit Hot Spring.

ReplyDeleteMount Tapyas is really a great place to visit with the view especially in the morning. Maquinit Hot spring is also nice at night and also is good for the bones.
ReplyDeleteWe haven't visited to Coron but just like you, I'm just waiting for seat sales again. I'm sure my husband will enjoy Mt. Tapyas.
