The markings are best viewed on top of the boulders but getting there is hard, first you must know how to swim. At noon time the water level starts to go up, the current is strong making it hard to swim near the huge stones.
About Bernardo Carpio - a story of a man with superhuman strength have been passed from our ancestors to present generation, the legend says that in one of Bernardo Carpio's travel, he stopped and rested and left his 2-feet footprints on a mound of adobe stones. The markings are still there, because of this story the place was called BAKAS.
Cottages are available at Php200.
The road going to BAKAS is rough but I saw portions of the it under construction. We took a tricycle and told the driver to bring us to BAKAS, fare was Php20 per person. We're five that includes two kids.
Enjoy fresh air, cold and clean water.
No other Amenities available except Cottages and Comfort Rooms made from Coconut leaves.

What other way to relax and spent your weekend is to be in a quite place, and take a deep breath with fresh air. It's a nice way to spent it with family, friends or just being ALONE.
Oh wow... this is a place I wanna go to (because there are jeeps from our place going to Norzagaray). I am now talking to sister of going on a trip there. Thanks for this post. :)
ReplyDeleteThanks Jenn! Yes, this is a nice place!According to the caretaker I met, there are plans of developing the area esp the road going there. If you go there, try going on top of the boulders and see the markings. :)
ReplyDeleteNice! Love the shots taken at this place. Never knew this place and now I have another one to put in my list. Great stuff!
ReplyDeleteThank you Ms. Jam! I also love this place I just wish they will develop this area like putting a hanging bridge going to the top of the boulder so everyone can see the markings of Bernardo Carpio bec it's hard going there esp if the current is strong. Overall I enjoyed the clean air, cold water and the simplicity of the place. :)
ReplyDeleteHi! How to get to Norzagaray if I'm from Quezon City? I really want to visit the spots there.. Thanks!
ReplyDeleteFrom QC along EDSA take a bus (DEL cARMEN) it's a green bus going to GARDEN, Sta Maria via NLEX.It's about an hour trip and fare is around php45. From GARDEN, take ordinary bus or jeep going NORZAGARAY, Poblacion.From there, take a tricycle that will bring you to BAKAS.
ReplyDeleteBAKAS located in Barrio Matictic, Norzagaray Bulacan.Getting there:
From Bocaue Bulacan, take non-aircon (ordinary) buses going to Norzagaray. In Poblacion Norzagaray, take a tricycle and tell driver to bring you to BAKAS. Jeepney from Sta Maria Bulacan going to Norzagaray will also bring you to Poblacion.
Just take care if want to go there.
ReplyDeleteI find this place relaxing and not crowded? or perhaps kasi this place pa year 2011 and as ive read sa comment there's plan of developing sa area. I like the background story ng Bakas Ms Marj, i likw history and i find this fascinating esp if i can see th markings by myself 😘 Pero medyo im weak when it talks bout swimming tapos the water level pa tataas at malakas current 😭 Masarap mag date dito😍😂 nakakrelax❤️
