Near to God, Near to Nature

It was Saturday afternoon when I was surfing the net. A stunning wedding video caught my attention. The venue of the intimate ceremony is Transfiguration Chapel of Caleruega. All of the sudden, I was eager to visit the place. The following day, early morning of Sunday I leave Manila and the mass is on-going when I get there – luckily. The travel time usually 1.5-2 hours from Manila and is worth it because the Chapel has many things to offer.
With its majestic structure on a hilltop, combined with a beautiful architecture Caleruega is one of the most visited places in Nasugbu, Batangas. Caleruega is a great place for spiritual holiday to loosen up and enjoy the day.
