Mt. Maculot is one of the several scenic mountains surrounding the province of Batangas and undeniably one where Taal Lake is most beautiful to be seen from. She has been a mystery to many for a very long time as talks about it being enchanted have spread quite frantically among locals instilling both fear and curiosity among visiting mountain enthusiasts. While several deaths in this mountain have been recorded in the past with the most recent dating in 2013, it remained a favorite among climbers and is still packed with lively souls every single day.
OUR MT. MACULOT CLIMB
Due to proximity issues being based in Laguna, I decided to skip Mt. Batolusong, headed instead to Batangas for the challenge of Mt. Maculot and I was just glad I did. At first, I thought of being arrogant for not considering the arduous task this mountain requires but then again I realized that it will serve me better any other way to prepare myself for the climb to Mt. Pulag which will take place in 2 weeks.
Anyways, there was just I and my “Boyfie” this time. We took the trail Rockies-Summit-Grotto as I was eager to experience the challenge early on. I haven’t climbed in a while and I have gained quite a few pounds from the last time I dared conquer a mountain peak so I was very aware this will be thrice as hard as the last time I was in the mountains. Although I’ve climbed Taraw Cliff in El Nido a week back, I still wasn’t very confident this is gonna be easy.
The climb kicked off at 7AM with a walk along the concrete Mt Maculot Rocky Road that was gradually ascending until its very end. I was sweating profusely so I was just glad to see a resting camp as we turned left off the main road. Past that is a flat trail which will stretch for 15-20 meters and will descend to what seems like a multi-tiered waterfall which at that time was empty of water. Past that. The real ordeal begins.
I gotta hand it over to Mt. Maculot. She’s the most difficult mountain I’ve climbed thus far. She was purely unforgiving. It’s no wonder that before reaching the campsite, mountaineers will pass through 14 resting camps as catching a breather once in a while is of immense importance. If I would have to describe Mt. Maculot, I’d say she is the kind who doesn’t beat around the bush and get straight to the point as what her trail suggests. It is like a natural ladder that goes straight up and gets steeper as the assault gets nearer the campsite with rocks and roots both protruding from the ground which was at some instances helpful but were additional challenges for the most part. Perhaps the one thing that got me going on despite the climb getting even more unbearable as we inch closer to the top is the promise of a more stunning view of Taal Lake.
After hours of a painstaking assault, we reached the campsite at 8:45AM. We rested for a little then headed towards the infamous Rockies.
THE ROCKIES
From the campsite, we headed west for the Rockies. The trail was a straight path along overgrown grasses with the view of Taal Lake and the surrounding valley being seen all over. A quick descent got us to a spot where we got to marvel at the Rockies for the first time. A steep descent followed but was made easy by ropes installed as support along the trail until the stablest ground going to the base of the Rockies. The hike from the campsite to the base of the Rockies took us 15 minutes.
The Rockies speaks true to its name as in order to get to the top, we had to climb through boulders. The first part was the most difficult. We had to be careful not to hit our heads as we struggle to get to a safe spot. After that, everything was just a walk in the park (Kidding ^-^). There were two parts of the Rockies were you can witness Taal Lake in full view and get your death defying photos taken. We headed first to the left side of the Rockies, got some photos taken then headed to the right but didn’t linger too long as the heat of the sun was already becoming to much to take. Besides, there were other hopefuls at the base of the Rockies waiting for their turn to marvel at the beaut our eyes have feasted for a few good minutes then. We didn’t really want to make them miserable. That’s just rude, isn’t it? So down the Rockies we went.
We traced the trail we had come from to get to the Rockies to get back to the campsite. It was 9:15 AM and our tummies were already complaining. We bought instant noodles and had it cooked from the small store mountaineers would fondly call as 7/11. I thought it was a bit overpriced at P45 apiece but then again who am I to complain when I’m extremely hungry.
After satiating our thirst and hunger and as we felt well rested, off we went to conquer the summit at exactly 10AM.
ASSAULT TO THE SUMMIT
From the campsite, we headed east this time to start the climb to the summit. The first part of the trail was along a flat surface with overgrown grasses in both sides that stretch for at least 100 meters. After that the trail becomes a combination of steep ascents and descents with the former dominating for the most part. Unlike the trail from the foot of the mountain to the campsite, the assault to the summit is less grueling. The only thing probably that got me complaining are huge uprooted trees blocking the way which you can pass through by slipping under or hopping over it. Either way was just bad for me but I chose the latter as I didn’t wanna risk getting myself stuck under a tree trunk smeared in mud. If you are wondering if I hopped on it? Go figure. Haha
The assault to the summit took us a little over an hour as we arrived there at 11:10AM. There were only a few happy souls present at the peak then. Some came from the Grotto and intends to go down to the Rockies. We went through the obligatory summit photo ops and got some few good ones taken and spent the rest of our time at the summit having hearty conversations and making friends with the other mountaineers.
GOING DOWN TO GROTTO
We began the descent to the Grotto when we realized there was already a swarm of people at the peak and was starting to get overcrowded. We also considered the traffic that might build up later at the part where one has to use a rappel to go down a steep path. At 12:45 PM the descent took place. The trail going down although a lot easier looked more forested with rattan and overgrown bushes obscuring the trail made it hard to identify which way to go, even slowed us down as we tried to avoid getting cut with its thorns and razor sharp edges. It also was rugged similar to that of the Rockies.
There were 2 parts where we had to use a rappel (a thick rope tied at the top) to go down with the 2nd rappel being longer. This were the parts I found most difficult as I’m not much of a rope person. Luckily, I survived it unscathed.
We arrived at the only spot we could call a resting camp, that part at the base before the assault to the Grotto. We paused to catch ourselves some air which made me realize that the trail from the summit to Grotto has no resting camps. It got me thankful in so many ways. I couldn’t just imagine what those bunch who took the other route went through. That was such a punishment.
The ascent to the Grotto then didn’t take too much of our energy as it was just really easy with the scorching heat and overgrown grasses blocking the trail the only two things bothering us. We didn’t stay too long at the Grotto. We spent just a few minutes to say a little prayer, get some photos taken and to gaze the at summit for the last time.
From the Grotto, we went down through a concrete ladder which just took us 20 minutes to finish. A little walk from the base of the ladder parked several tricycles which took us back to the town proper of Cuenca. We would have loved to drop by Taal Lake to relax and take in the view but some circumstance arose which made us change minds. Nevertheless, we were more than satisfied for the day’s turn of events. The entire ordeal ended 15 minutes before 3PM with a smile.

Hi Mam Keza, Good morning po kung mag ride po ng motorcycle from Kawit,Cavite kaya po ba? And required po ba ang Tour Guide.Thanks…..
Hi yes kaya nman po. Required din po guide.
Good evening. Ask ko lang po if pwede namang di na kumuha ng guide? If di kumuha ng guide kaya naman po bang di mawala papuntang summit or meron namang mga directions na nakalagay sa daan? Thanks po.
Hi Ron. Guide is required. Straightforward lang nman yung trail pero wala po gaanong directions. Nakakaligaw yung masukal na part campsite to summit and summit to grotto.
Ask lang po ako kung ano po ang pinakamabilis na way (commute) papuntang Cuenca galing pong Los Baños. Hindi kase kami taga Laguna talaga and we’re planning to hike Mt. Maculot, probably next week. Salamat po!
Hi Marie. If there are vans from Los Baños to SM Lipa then that’s the fastest way to go since from Lipa isang jeep na lang to Cuenca. 😊
Beautiful collection of pictures and nice blog. Thank you Keza M for sharing this. Keep going!
Thanks Joshua! 😊

Hello ask ko lang if pwede pa rin ba umakyat considering na rainy season na? We’re planning to go next week (on a weekday) since crowded kapag weekends. Thanks.
Hi Chris. Yup pwede pa rin naman umakyat kahit rainy season na. Discretion mo nman yun. Di nman nila pinagbabawal yun. Ingat lang sa trail baka maputik at madulas. Waterproof your bags and bring poncho or raincoat in case of unexpected shower. Kapag may typhoon advisory, better reschedule the hike until clear na ang weather.

Hi Karen. Sorry for the confusion. Big Ben is in Lipa. Im not sure where the vans bound for Lipa is parked in Cavite though. I forgot to ask the operators while we were there. Anyhow, baka meron van sa Pala-Pala or Dasma bound for Lipa. 😊
Planning to go here on my birthday on Monday! My first hiking trip ever! Hahaha this post is very helpful, thank you!
Hi Kathreen. You go have fun in Mt. Maculot on your special day.. She’s quite a delightful gift I may say. 🙂
Courtesy call!! Hahaha.. no problem w/ the food. Sana pwede tawad sa guide fee.. wish me luck. 😀 Pero kung anu mang yari un at un prin. Thx ms keza. xD
Ayt. Try contacting the guide I had indicated above to check for the rates.. anyhow u guys have fun.. 😅
Hi ms.keza! Napagdesisyonan po namin na sa maculot nlang po kami. Ang guide po ba sa maculot is mandatory. dhil tatlo lng nman po kami at puro lalaki. At kung may mga ligaw factor? Hahaha.. This friday po sched nmin. Dto na po ako lagi nagtatanong dhil po napaka reliable at active. Thx.
Hi Crank. Yes mandatory. Although straightforward at establish ang trail dun and hardly may ligaw, mandatory na after the last death which happened in 2013.. The local community is just trying to avoid it the same thing from happening..
Please mind na sa rockies trail walang ligaw pero from summit down to grotto if you are to traverse mejo masukal at obscured ang trail kaya ingt lng.
Ang guide po ba 800php po tlga fix na po pang traverse? At ung food po ng guide?
Yes.. thats the tariff. You may provide food for the guide as well as courtesy. 😆

Hi. Di ko sure yung earliest at latest time open yung barangay pero based sa guide namen, nakapila na sia normally at 3am. What time nyo ba balak magsimula? 😊
hi po pwede po magask kung sino pwedeng irecommend na guide?
Is it possible to make it to the rockies-summit-grotto route without a guide? is it possible to get to those locations alone?
really trying to save cash here… huhu 🙁
thanks! Great post btw!
Hi Dale. I’m not sure. Mahaharang ka kasi sa daan e. Before the jump off is the registration at yung mga tricycle humihinto tlga dun. Hope u can work it out. 🙂
Hi! keri na kaya ung 800 for 10pax?
thanks for the article, gives us a heads up regarding the physical test.
Hi Pb. You asking about the guide fee? It’s going to be P1600 if you are to traverse Pico. If summit backtrail P1300 kasi P400 per 5 pax + 50 each. Then if rockies lang P800 kasi P400 per 5 pax. 🙂
Hi kelangan po ba dito mag pabook or sariling punta lang 🙂 salamat
Hi Julie. No need to book. You can just walk in to the registration point at any time
yung mga guides ba nandun lang sila or you need to contact them before hand?
Hi Paul. Nandun lang sila sa registration. Meron silang tinatawag na pila so di na ako nagabala kunin yung number ng guide namen just to be fair sa knila lahat. 🙂
hi its me again…
mandatory po ba kumuha ng guide? 6 kame..
dko ma gets regarding sa guide.
thanks.
Yup its mandatory. 400 for 5 people ang guide for dayhike. Additional 50 per excess person so kung anim kayo 450..pag sa rockies lang kau nun. Pero kung traverse 800 then same rule 100 yng pang 6 na tao 🙂
