Mountaineering is one of my favorite sports and I’ve been climbing around 2-3 times a month during my high school and college years. I’ve been into a lot of mountains already but there is one that I truly love, and it’s Mt. Maculot! Why? I first met my wife here.
Mount Maculot is located in Cuenca, a small town Batangas. If you’re somewhere in Manila, you can take a bus in Buendia along Taft Avenue but if you have your own car, forget the bus thingy that I’ve mentioned.
