KAYANGAN LAKE

Kayangan Lake is one of two lakes in Coron island (out of 8 lakes) that are open to the public. There is a steep 10-15 minute uphill climb of approximately 300 steps towards the inland lake. Midway through the climb is a view deck overlooking the lagoon. – Text from: http://www.ilink.ph/kayangan-lake

I have encountered various claims of cleanest lake in the Philippines, even Kayangan Lake itself claims the title. But I have no reservation for it. The clean and clear turquoise water of Kayangan Lake speaks for itself.

Kayangan Lake is a usual stop of an island hopping tour. A fee of P200 per person is required for every guest entering the lake, quite steep but truly worth it! A wooden stairway leads from the entrance to a small cave that provides a breathtaking view of the cove, make sure not to miss it! The iconic cove entrance to the lake, probably the most photographed spot in all of Coron, is the picture of Coron that we usually see. Personally, I think I can spend my whole day just looking at the awe inspiring cove. It is truly beautiful! Text from: http://www.lakwatsero.com/spots/kayangan-lake-my-heaven-in-coron/

After a few souvenir shots, we descended to experience the lake’s pristine waters. I can say it is the cleanest body of water I’ve ever swam to (or floated, with life vest on). I almost forgot I cannot swim as we explored the lake from here to there. The water is very clear. Thin, blue fishes and shrimps are plenty. There are sharp rock formations under water, some form caves that look creepy; at some point, my imagination got me thinking that some creature might pull me down any given moment. The lake is very tranquil. It was such a perfect day—the weather, the sun, the water, the jaded mountains, the people enjoying the lake, life and nature at its best. Paraiso! It’s no wonder why the Tagbanuas consider this a sacred place. It is very peaceful and mysterious at the same time. We stayed here the longest among the other destinations of the day. I actually didn’t want to leave. – Text from: https://jackinetic.wordpress.com/tag/kayangan-lake/
