MT. MARAMI and SILYANG BATO in Maragondon,Cavite [Day Hike]

My appreciation for reaching and conquering different mountains was once again fulfilled as we explored yet another well-known destination for mountaineers to climb, and that is MT. MARAMI located in Maragondon, Cavite.

Many people might compare this to other mountains, maybe because of their topography, but I believe each one has its charm, and that is what I wanted to find out.
Along with the Team Cavite Endurance Sports Enthusiasts and our guide named Onad, We started our climb up to the top at exactly 6:00 am.  It was fine weather and the morning’s cold breeze made the conditions for our climb ideal.

We walked through some river streams; luckily, the rainy season hadn’t started yet, so we were able to keep our feet relatively dry. There are parts where the roads are quite sandy or coarse, and I could imagine the area during the rainy season. Slippery!

Along the way, you will come across fences. This is to avoid the
cows from getting through.
 When our water supplies began to run low, our tour guide took us to this spring, where we could drink straight from the clear and fresh source! Our tummies didn’t act up after drinking, so I can attest that this water is drinkable!
We started seeing the summit of Mt. Marami on the horizon, and we grew more and more excited. As per our guide, there are two ways to get to the summit of Mt. Marami. Either way, the difficulty is comparable, so you can do a traverse if you like.
We were just so lucky that it was a clear day, and we got to see the breathtaking view we’d been looking forward to.
Mt. Marami is famous for its rock boulder protruding over an edge giving you an amazing 360-degree view of Batangas and Cavite.
I guess not all are brave to face heights; I must admit I have acrophobia, but I am currently working on it. This once again presented a challenge to me to face my fear.
The wind at the summit was a bit strong, but the view was spectacular!
Soon it was time for us to go to the famous Silyang Bato, a chair-shaped rock boulder that sticks out of the cliff-face, making it a popular spot to get an amazing shot.
People do different poses and dare themselves because
 the picture you will get here is priceless!
I tried sitting facing the other way, but I guess I am not ready to face the heights yet! 🙁

I am glad I explored Mt. Marami! It is a beautiful mountain to explore not just for experienced climbers but most especially for the newbies. It is also very accessible from Manila, making it one of the favorite climbing destinations.
However, along the way, there were portions where trash had been scattered in the area. We saw liquor bottles along the trail, which saddened us because some mountaineers were not responsible. We talked to some residents in the area, and they are also aware of the situation. They also said that the government is working on a plan to solve the problem and hope it could be done as soon as possible.
