Experience the Majestic St. Mary Mountain

Getting There

• Car

  If you're driving, start from the main road leading into Taal Volcano. Head towards Talisay, Batangas, by taking the Batangas-Tagaytay Road (also known as the Emilio Aguinaldo Highway). Make your way to the coordinates 32R2+W67, which is close to St. Mary Mountain. Look for signs indicating Talisay and follow the directions to the Taal Volcano area. The road will lead you through scenic views, and you may need to navigate some smaller roads once you get closer. Ensure your vehicle is suitable for the terrain, as some roads may be unpaved.

• Public Transportation

  To reach St. Mary Mountain by public transport, take a bus from Manila to Batangas City. Buses frequently depart from various terminals like Cubao or Buendia. Once you arrive in Batangas City, transfer to a jeepney or bus heading to Talisay. Inform the driver you are heading to St. Mary Mountain, as they may have a specific stop for this location. Make sure to have some small bills ready for fare payments. After disembarking in Talisay, you may need to hire a tricycle for the last stretch to the coordinates 32R2+W67, which is where St. Mary Mountain is located.

• Tricycle

  Once you reach Talisay, you can hire a tricycle to take you directly to St. Mary Mountain. Be sure to negotiate the fare beforehand, as prices can vary. The tricycle ride will provide you with a closer view of the surrounding area and may take approximately 15-30 minutes depending on traffic and road conditions. Ensure you have cash on hand, as many drivers may not accept cards.
