Coron Photo Diary: Kayangan Lake

1:00 PM Unknown 0 Comments

Hello there!

#1 of Coron Photo Diary was for Siete Picados (read it here). This is #2 of my Coron Photo Diary, and today, I'm writing about my paradise dreams coming true at Kayangan Lake. You ever have the weird feeling when you go somewhere you never thought you'd ever see in real life? This was it for me.

When my family and I were planning Coron, the one thing I requested was to go to Kayangan Lake. I saw it all over Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram, so it was only right that it was on our itinerary.

Kayangan Lake is just as beautiful as you see it online. The boat ride to the lake itself is gorgeous. I saw the water change from deep blue to turquoise. When the boat docked, my excitement increased ten folds and I couldn't wait to get off. Once you see the "Welcome to Kayangan Lake" sign, the adrenaline kicks in and you just want to run up the steps to see the lake itself. But you have to wait because you have to walk through a set of stairs to get there. 150 steps up. 150 steps down.


Halfway through, you'll see the signs to point you to the infamous observation deck or if you'd like, you can continue straight to the lake. If you don't take the photo at the view deck, did you really go? Of course, we waited in line and took photos. HA!
Once we finally made our way down the other set of 150 steps, we entered the actual dock of the Kayangan Lake. IT WAS BEAUTIFUL. Stunning. Breathtaking. You get so overwhelmed by the true beauty of it all, you really have to just stop and take a look around. (If you ever find your way there, STOP AND TAKE IT ALL IN). Whether or not you believe in anything, things of such beauty astounds me at what the world holds. In my case, it always humbles me to see items listed on my bucket list in real life. The God I believe in paints such beautiful pictures for us to see so why not enjoy them while we can? And if I did believe in reincarnation, I was definitely a mermaid or a fish in another life. ha! There's something about swimming in water that calms me (or maybe it is because I grew up swimming most of my life). We weren't allowed to swim in the lake without life vests on, but our tour guide helped me take photos underwater without getting caught. Then, I got my family to do it too. Anyways, I hope you all enjoy the photos just as much as we had fun taking them.
