Laguna is one of the most-visited provinces in the Southern Luzon region. Part of the CALABARZON area, Laguna also belongs to the list of the provinces known for different tourist destinations. And here’s a list of the frequently visited tourist spots in Laguna:
1. Lake Caliraya (Lumban) – a man-made lake by US Army Engineer Major General Hugh J. Casey, created in 1937. Lake Caliraya’s attraction is not only the calming beauty of the lake but also the facilities and activities visitors can enjoy on their stay. It’s a good venue for vacation and team-building activities.
2. Mabitac Church (Gen. Luna St., Mabitac) – you will have to take 126 steps going up to the church. Yes, you have to make that little sacrifice but it’s all worth it if you would think of the blessings you might receive after your church visit.
3. Pagsanjan Falls and Rapids (Pagsanjan) – One of the most famous spots in Laguna, Pagsanjan Falls offer tourists a natural splendour that would make them keep coming back. This is a recommended destination for adventurers and nature trippers.
4. Rizal Shrine (Calamba) – Opened to the public by President Elpidio Quirino in 1950, the memories of our national hero, Jose Rizal, was preserved in the exhibit of Rizal’s childhood. This is one of the regular itineraries for educational trips in the province.
5. Seven Lakes (San Pablo) – One of the country’s oldest cities, San Pablo is also known as the City of Seven Lakes, apparently because of the seven lakes situated in the city’s vicinity: Sampalok, Palakpakin, Yambo, Bunot, Pandin, Muhikap, and Calibato.
6. St. Gregory Church (Majayjay) – Built in 1575 through forced labor, this church is one of the oldest churches in the country. Antique religious statues brought by the Spaniards were preserved and are still on display inside the church.
Laguna is just a part of the richness of the Island Philippines. And by itself, Laguna still has a lot to offer. So pack your travel bag now and discover the beauty and the best of Laguna!
