Mt. Maculot
Book Now!Overview
One of the most popular day-trip and summer destinations, Mt. Maculot is located at the heart of Batangas. Easily identifiable for its terminating east side, which forms a cliff that offers great challenge for rock climbing enthusiasts, it is considered a landmark for locals and travelers.
The mountain has three destinations: Rockies, the summit, and the Grotto, all of which can be covered by a traverse day-hike. The Rockies is the most popular among the three for it stands beside the world-famous Taal Lake. Most climbers head to the Rockies and only 5% of hikers trek the traverse.
Experienced climbers can reach the Rockies in less than an hour, but at a relaxed pace, it could take up to two or three hours. Since Mt. Maculot is a famous hiking destination, it is not surprising to find a lot of hikers, especially during
