BOOK OF LIFE
The book of life is a rock formation that looks
like a book. Anyone can light a candle and write the name of the person he/she is praying for through the fingers the prayers will be granted.

KALBARYO
Calvary is the said to be the mountain where Jesus carried his cross and was crucified There you could also see the 2
crosses right beside his' for the 2 thieves who died with him. An image of the
La Pieta is also found at the top of the mountain. There is also an eye with a
blue an red wing symbolizing the Philippine flag. As you trek and climb it is
like the suffering of Jesus but it is not as great as his sacrifice. The experience
was very tiring. The trail was rocky and was very steep but the scenery is
worthy of the pain.

ILOG LAGNAS
Going down the stairs with approximately 270
steps would lead you to Ilog Lagnas. They say if your count was correct you can
pray and it would be granted. The river is said to be miraculous. It could heal
sicknesses. Some shower spots which are from the roots of the large trees are
also present. The water was very cold and an Image of the Virgin Mary is
located there in honor of her.

HUSGADO CAVE
Husgado Cave is also called the judgment cave.
The cave is very narrow where only one person at a time can pass through. The
cave is believed to be stretching depending on the person's sins. It is also a
belief where getting an abrasion after passing through the cave determines if a
person is sinful. The experience was very tiring. It was so hard but it gives
you a very good feeling after.
