From pristine white beaches, to exotic species and the local's wisdom, this blog will unravel the unique mysteries of Philippine paradise incomparable elsewhere. This will feature testimonies about our explorations and travels including tips on how to get there.

This is my own personal tribute and gratitude of interacting with nature's sheer beauty and in meeting the local inhabitants of the place. It is worth mentioning that each one of us should have the responsibility of preserving the natural state of these sanctuaries that continue to hold us spellbound.

Exploring Caramoan. The rugged terrain

From Guijalo Port, we rented a tricycle for another 15min ride to Caramoan town proper. Roads were built on sideslopes of mountains where some parts are not yet cemented. Visitors have to contend the rocky and bumpy surface. I was in awe how drivers exhibit dexterity in driving with roads like these…

We disembark at La Casa Roa Hostel. Owned by a family of doctors, the hostel is a residential house converted into an inn, good enough to accommodate 20 visitors. Both its exterior and interior are made from Philippine hardwood “Kamagong” and “Yakal” giving it a unique air of character. One thing I like about this place is it has a lot of plants sprawling in the frontyard. The hostel is located in the town proper, about 8km away from Gota Beach, the main entry point to Caramoan National Park. Most of the inns are located within the poblacion area where one can just rent tricycle going to different barangays or one can opt to commute. It’s cheaper to commute than renting a tricycle that costs 300pesos.
