Kawa-Kawa Hill

Kawa-Kawa (or formerly Lunad) is a hill with a crater, that looks like a giant cauldron, or kawa in the local language of Albay Bikol, and serves as both an ecotourism site and a pilgrimage site. People who climbed this hill described it as a huge amphitheater, a sliced coconut, or a hill without a top. From a distance, it looks like an ordinary hill, but up there, you'll feel its uniqueness with the calm winds and breezes blowing through it, and you can also get a full view of the city. The hill is also a pilgrimage site, with a Way of the Cross (Via Crucis) featuring images created by a sculptor from Paete, Laguna. The Via Crucis here is unique as it follows a walkway up the hill, where the first six stations are placed, with the remaining 8 forming the path circling the crater.
