Tucked in the quiet town of Tiaong in Quezon province, Lake Tikub is a pristine crater lake that offers a tranquil escape just a few hours from Manila City. Surrounded by lush forest and nestled at the foot of Mount Malepunyo, this hidden gem is ideal for nature lovers looking to unwind and disconnect.
Lake Tikub is a volcanic crater lake located in the southern Luzon region, renowned for its nearly perfect circular shape and serene atmosphere. While relatively off the beaten path compared to more developed lakes in the Philippines, Tikub’s raw and untouched beauty makes it appealing to adventurous travelers.
For those seeking more exploration, nearby attractions in the municipalities of Lucban and Sariaya in Quezon Province such as Kamay ni Hesus and the town’s well-preserved heritage houses make great side trips.
With its remote charm and natural beauty, Lake Tikub offers a peaceful contrast to more popular destinations like Taal Lake in Batangas City or Pagsanjan Falls in Laguna Province.
