Everything is worth it

Mt. Makiling (Maquiling) is a dormant volcano in the provinces of Laguna and Batangas in the Philippines. Before becoming a state-owned forest reserve, this was the country's first national park. For forestry education, it is under the University of the Philippines - Los Banos. According to legend, the forest is protected and guarded by a spirit known as "Maria Makiling." If you look closely at the mountain, you'll notice a woman resting, specifically Maria Makiling. In the Philippines, stories about her helping others or being saddened are common. The climb to the summit will take about 4–5 hours; however, you should not be concerned because there are rest spots along the way. Camping is permitted so make sure to bring your camping stuffs. #scenicspotphotoguide#summervacationtravel#tripinspired#summervacation#hikingtrails#urbanexplorer
