Caleruega: The Hanging bridge, Koi pond and Elevated walkway

caleruega-signeage-copy.jpg

Caleruega, in Brgy, Kaylaway, Batulao, Batangas, is a “house of prayer and renewal. It is open to activities like retreats, recollections, prayer and renewal workshops, study, research, youth camps, marriage and family encounters, skills training, leadership seminars, art, music, and liturgy workshops and environment and agriculture-related activities.”

To get to Caleruega, take the national road from Tagaytay, going to Nasugbu. After the Nasugbu Welcome Arch, turn left to Evercrest Golf Club, follow the road and you’ll see directions going to Caleruega. Just take it from there. Easy to find. [Immediately after Evercrest, you may want to check out Chapel on the Hill which have gained popularity as a prime wedding location.]

It has amenities like conference and function halls, dormitories and cottages, he Transfiguration Chapel (which has become its famous landmark), and a camp site and reflection garden which I am featuring here. Below is an image of its entrance (located at the back of the chapel and admin bldg.)

Behind the Transfiguration Chapel and Administration Bldg. of Caleruega is a camp site, accessible by going through elevated pathways covered by trees.  Waterfalls, fountains and koi ponds provide relaxing sights below. (More images on the next page):

It is accessible (only) by a 5-10 minute walk on paved road. Even then, along the way are several rest areas like the one below:

And panoramic views of Tagaytay mountains such as this:

    Sistah: Yes, is it indeed! Not only restful but peaceful.

    Bong: Sometimes, better things (if not the best!) are down below. Try going straight down in Caleruega to see what I mean. :)

    Great pics. I never knew Caleruega was so big. I just visited the place for the first time for a 6pm wedding. Too bad we weren’t able to explore the place as much as you did. Thanks for sharing!

    Muy señor mío, me parece estupendo que exista un lugar así, pero conozco uno mejor también llamado Caleruega, pues es un pueblo muy bello en la España profunda.

    Por cierto, ¿esto está en Filipinas o dónde? Es que yo no entiendo el inglés. Los siento.

    Atte. un servidor.
