The walk to the top was very tiring but the view eliminated all the feeling of exhaustion. The church and the statue were both well maintained and so was the ground. However, the stairs didn't go all the way to the grotto. We asked our guide why and he told us it's due to the overwhelming number of steps that are already existing. He said the developer and Caramoan government limited the pavement to 20 meters away from the church so that tourists wouldn't find the flight too much to walk. We didn't spend a lot of time atop since we had more stops for our tour that day. Prepare a tour-guide fee and an entrance fee .The guide didn't tell us how much he gets on average but implied any amount is accepted. I didn't know if the PHP200 we paid him was reasonable. For tourists the place is worth a one-time climb. I would give it 5/5 but I will not revisit when I go back to Caramoan in the future. Perhaps for health buffs and for the youth this place is a sanctuary but not for the elderly.

When started our pilgrimage to the site, the weather is already a bit gloomy. Then it started raining. Climbing the seemingly endless steps was already a challenge, but with the rain it became tricky. I was almost thinking of going back. Still we reached the top and the view from it was really breathtaking. What I don't like about it though was the tower built at the back of the statue. In my opinion it ruins the sanctity of the place.

my daughter kept on complaining of how tired her feet was, but you know what the view on top is spectacular

The steps are well paved so you won't have trouble climbing. It's just stairs! It will take slow paced people about an hour getting up, while my father who was soooo slow took half an hour more. It's best done on a clear day since you get to see the view of the Caramoan islands. What's funny is, the road to the steps were not paved at all although I heard it was called the Puentbella Highway? Named after their local political dynasty. It has been like that for a hundred years according to the guide we had. If their local government had paved that we all could hve just gotten to Caramoan by land all the way from Naga City, instead of going to Sabang, ride a 2-hour boat to Guijalo etc etc.

what can be more wonderful and blessed than when your 82 year old father-in-law can still climb the 500 steps eventhough it took a little while to get there and enjoy the breath-taking view from the top of the shrine.we were 20 people in our group and mostly 40's and above but everyone managed to climb all the way to the top.very tiring but all worth it once you reach the chapel at the top of the hill

Don't be discouraged by the 557 steps. Kids and elderly have gone up and down that grotto. The hike may make you a little short of breath but the view from above is breathtaking and very relaxing.

It would definitely be a tiring walk going to the grotto. It has 500+ steps. But the grotto is so magnificent and gigantic. It's like the Christ the Redeemer of Rio.

we have to climb 530 steps just to see the grotto but the added thrill is the overview of caramoan islands when you reach the top.my eyes feasted on the scenic views of lush greens and majestic mountains!

Don't give up on the intimidating 500 steps. It's worth the climb. The view is breathtaking and relaxing once you get to the top. Bring a small towel and bottled water while climbing because it's one sweaty experience.

500 plus steps going up is nothing once you looked at the perfect panoramic view of the Caramoan Peninsula plus its islands. And this is the place that I pop the question to my then Girlfriend "will you marry me". And she answered YES. thanks to our tour guide Kuya Ely of Caramoan Haven.
