Adventures at Puting Buhangin and Kwebang Lagpas, Pagbilao, Quezon - May 2013

We started our trip by a one-hour jeep ride from Lucena to Pagbilao, Quezon. Most of the roads are highways and you will know if you are near your destination once you feel your ride being bumpy cause of rough road.

Once you've reached the stop point, you need to ride a bangka to cross the lake. 

But adventure doesn't stop there! You still need to trek for 10-15 minutes after the boat ride. The trek was quite difficult since we brought food and drinks with us, plus the ground was slippery. And since it was high tide, we still need to cross another stream which was almost waistline deep (or maybe I'm just short).

And alas! We've finally reached our destination! The place has not yet been developed. There are no hotels to stay-in, only small cottages, and comfort rooms are in kubo type. 

But other than that, it was a perfect place for camping. Cliffdiving can also be done there. Unfortunately, I'm not good at swimming and was not able to try it, though my friends did. HUHU.

What I loved about the beach: its white sand and crystal-like water. 

You can almost see my feet under water!

Kwebang Lampas during lowtide.

Around 4 to 4:30 PM, it was already lowtide, and that was the time we planned to walk inside the cave. There is nothing much in the cave during lowtide, but a bizarre during hightide.

The struggle is real.

All-in-all, the place is perfect for barkadas, and for those who want some challenges before reaching the paradise!
