Mt. Tagapo

One majestic mountain that can be found in the town of Binangonan, in the island of Talim, is Mt. Tagapo, more popularly known as the Mountain of Susong Dalaga, with a height of 270 meters and is said to have the shape of  the breast of a virgin. Many mountaineers from all over the Philippines visit the mountain to glimpse its beauty.

The climb in this kind of natural environment challenges the strength, determination and sincerity of those who want to try it. But if one can reach its top, they would feel the sense of tranquility of Laguna Lake and its neighboring areas. The Mt. Tagapo is in the middle of Talim Island located in the heart of Laguna de Bay.

Talim Island has a total area of 3,376 square hectares and consists of 17 villages. Our national hero, Dr. Jose Rizal, mentioned his admiration to the reserved beauty of the island while he was on his way to Manila.

He said that, "We are lucky because the town of Binangonan is blessed by nature to have a stunning and alluring landscape. This wealth of nature given to us deserves care, to give importance and love.”
