Let the Caleruega Church and Eco Park Tour continue...
The province of Batangas is known for some of the most beautiful churches in the country. This Holy Week, ANDC Fam visited one of the most popular wedding venues in the South, the Calaruega Chapel and Eco Park. Visiting this place has been on our bucket list for quite some time.
Finally, we were able to get a chance to visit this famous Eco Park in Nasugbu. Compared to the old and century-old churches in Batangas, Calaruega is relatively new. The chapel and the entire Eco Park was built in 1995. The chapel is located on a hilltop and getting there was a bit of a challenge (although there is a shortcut that will take you straight to the chapel). Interestingly, Calaruega is named after the birthplace of Saint Dominic de Guzman, the father of the Order of the Preachers (aka as the Dominicans). To honor his legacy, the Filipino Dominicans establish the Calaruega Eco Park with an attempt to somehow replicate the humble town of Calaruega in Spain.
The Eco Park has an Entrance fee of Php30 per head. There is also a parking fee of Php20 for motorcycles and Php40 for 4-wheeled vehicles. The fees, of course, will be used to maintain the place. Although the place is very much known for the Transfiguration Chapel, the huge Eco Park also offers a lot of worth-exploring places that makes it ideal not just for weddings but also for retreats and meditation. Visitors will be given a leaflet to help them navigate the eco park.
The Calaruega Eco Park is open for various activities such as Retreats, Recollections, team buildings, workshops, weddings, and receptions. If you are simply looking for a serene location or a quick escape from the city, this could be an ideal go-to place.
Caleruega, with its lush surroundings, is the perfect place for relaxation and bonding with friends, family or your special someone. The property provides spaces that will let you reflect about life and refresh your thoughts. Here are the must-visit spots inside Caleruega.
