Mount Tapyas: Stairway to Heaven





Climbing Mount Tapyas in Coron is a tiring but exhilarating experience. You have to go up 700 steps to reach the top of Mount Tapyas. It's a good thing that there are a few shaded rest stops where you can sit and relax before reaching the summit.

Your efforts will be rewarded with a heavenly treat of a 30 feet tall cross at the peak and a breathtaking view of the limestone cliffs, the mountains and sea, and Coron town.

To avoid the heat, best to do the hike after 3 pm. After enjoying the view, reward yourself with a warm bath to soothe you tired muscles at Maquinit Hot Springs.
