Scenic Laguna- Nagcarlan

Went on a two day road trip around Laguna on Nov 1st. With the help of tips from bloggers and GPS, we drove to Laguna coming from SLEX and took the Sto Tomas Batangas route. One can also take the Calamba route .

We hit the road at around 9am. Since it's All Saints Day, traffic was quite heavy due to people flocking to cemeteries to visit their departed loved ones.

At past 11am  ,we reached our first stop, Nagcarlan and its famous underground cemetery. Husband did not want to come along so I walked around by myself above ground , took a few bracketed shots. I did not go underground as it might give me a claustrophobic feeling.

According to history, Nagcarlan Underground Cemetery served as a secret meeting place of  Filipino revolutionaries or Katipuneros in 1896. It also became a safehouse of Filipino guerrillas during WWII.

It's All Saint's Day and yet there were just few visitors or maybe they went early in the morning. The sun's heat was intense and I had to leave.

  Do visit this landmark when in Nagcarlan. It's open free to public on Tues-Sunday 8am to 4pm
