Visitando La Faro de Punta Capones

Nope! the title doesn't mean I am into Spanish Language now (maybe in the future), its just that this blog post is about one of the few still standing Spanish Lighthouses in the Philippines, the Capones Island Lighthouse or should I say Faro de Punta Capones. The lighthouse was built in the late 1800's and became operational in 1890. The Lighthouse is still operational despite its old condition.

This trip was after we camp in Anawangin Cove and is part of the tour offered by our boatman.

CAMPING IN ANAWANGIN COVE, ZAMBALES

I had been waiting for this trip ever since I have seen beautiful photographs and read blog post of various travel bloggers.

GETTING THERE

Unlike my trip to Pundaquit Beach which is the jump off point to Anawangin Cove last October 2011, this trip was never a disaster. Getting there is as easy as 1,2,3 for me. ( at least I've learn my lesson, haha..) Anyways, to get there, we took the Victory Liner Bus going to Iba, Zambales from their Caloocan Station. It took us around three hours to reach the town of San Antonio, where we can get a tricycle to Brgy. Pundaquit,  where we get a boat ride to the cove.

Setting up our tent is a little harder than we thought.:-)
