“Maraming lakad, init, pagod, sugat, ligaw atbp. pero marami din namang bagong natuklasan, natututunan at kaibigan...”

A massive composite of rocky columns surging on the mountainous area of Maragondon, Cavite. Mt. Marami according to locals was coined from ‘marami’ meaning several or many attributed to several rock formations found on the summit. 

The group met at Jollibee - Trece Martires, rode a jeepney to Naic (P22) then trike to Magallanes town (P350) finally another trike to Brgy. Ramirez (P20) the jump-off point. There is no registration fee for the hike just log at the Baranggay hall and hire a guide. Manong Alfredo our guide lead the group: Ford, Johnvie, Rose Anne, Echan, Joemar and I. We started trekking around 0915H on a humid dry weather.

Somewhere in the middle of the trek. Ford and Joemar are lost, they followed a different path leaving us to wait for about an hour. :D We were delayed reaching the summit 1530H (Whew! That’s six hours of ascent). We are welcomed by an awesome lowland views of Cavite and Batangas at the summit. Hey that’s Mt. Pico de Loro on the NE, Mt. Batulao and Talamitam on the S. I can see Mt. Makiling too on the far SE. Everybody knows the drill! Haha snap shots, time lapse, groupfies, selfies, etc time!

We ascended around 1630H to catch the last jeepney ride to Naic town sadly we reached the jump-off 1930H. We decided to rent a trike again (P400) back to Naic.
