Surely a place for sunset lovers.. If luck is on your side (if the clouds are not thick) the sunset from this point is just majestic. Plus it provides a good view of Puraran Beach.

Bangkong Kahoy translates to Wooden Bench, hence the name “bangko” which was derived from live tree trunks and branches. About 2-hours drive from Metro Manila, Bangkong Kahoy Valley sits between the mountains of Mt. Banahaw and Mt. Cristobal; a comfortable haven for weekend trekkers, bird watchers and anyone who wants to escape to a cool and quiet retreat. One gets a magnificent view of two mountains interacting with the moods of sun, the wind and the rain, constantly changing, always proclaiming the glory of its Maker.

Dolores Quezon is a town near San Pablo,Laguna.A town of nature and tranquility. Bangkong Kahoy is situated at Brgy. Kinabuhayan in Dolores. Going to the valley is a little bit rough due to its unpaved roads. When you reach Brgy. Kinabuhayn, you will be welcomed by tall trees and giant ferns.There you will see the Brgy. Hall where you will have to pay 10php as toll. Then you will have to travel for about 15mins on a bumpy road before reaching the Bangkong kahoy valley. The view itself is picturesque and tranquil. Fresh air and cool breeze. You just need a picnic mat and you're good. It is one of the most perfect picnic sites I have been to. Full green sceneries is waving to you haha. The staffs are friendly and very hospitable. For 70php entrance, I can consider it cheap for the beautiful view and experience. They also have a free cup of barako coffee (famous coffee in batangas) If you are planning to visit the valley and stay for awhile, you have to contact them so they can have enough time to prepare. Overall experience here is superb, great view, great staffs for a cheap price????
