Dingalan Rocks

Who would ever know that at one of the highest points in the province of Aurora lies a terrace of rocks and springs that forms an astonishing group of ponds where weary-souled travelers can dip and refresh themselves in its cool waters. I found that out in Dingalan.

Fabros Paradise Resort is located in Barangay Caragsacan in Dingalan. It is named after its Barangay Chairman who took pains in developing the area. For just a minimal entrance fee of Ten Pesos and a cottage that can be rented from P200 to P500, it is a perfect place for adventurous picknickers who want to escape the summer heat.


The resort consists of over a dozen ponds surrounded by very huge rocks. These rocks were formed by nature with only minimal developments from the resort owners - so everything is natural.

Caution should be exercised because these rocks are quite huge and there isn't enough trails to go from one pond to another. In fact, some visitors there frequently slips in these rocks and they are just so lucky as not to injure themselves.

The waters are fresh and crystal clear. However, it is advisable that you dip and bathe in the topmost pond because some tourist either throw or spill some of their food in the pond and if you are bathing in the bottom, you will see these wastes and food pass you by.

And before I forget, the roadside view of the mountain and the sea is just spectacular so even though there are occasional bumps on the dirt road (the main highway are still being constructed), every time spent in going there is well worth it.

Note: Since I am in the Aurora Series, I deemed it proper to include this one which was previously posted on April of 2008.
