centipede and millipede
Insects in Coron are so huge that scared most out of us. We have seen these insects on our way up to MT. Tapyas. They measured more than half a ruler.700 steps
These are the approx. 700 steps to MT. Tapyas. The weather is just too perfect. Not too sunny, not so windy just perfect for climbing.We didnt feel the exhaustion, because every steps equals to witness the magnificent view of Coron.
The cross is the summit.
I think I lost counting.
We are almost there!!!!MT. Tapyas
MT. Tapyas, is one of the highest elevation of Coron. On the view deck you could see the whole municipality of Coron, including the islands and mountains surrounding it. To get there you need to climb approximately 700 steps. Tiring yeah, but its definitely worth it.Maquinit Hot Springs
Maquinit hot springs is situated on the far mountains of Coron. According to the locals,the water comes from the volcano.Maquinit means hot, literally hot since the temperature of the water ranges from 38 - 40 degree celcius. Its not just hot but very salty.The water is best suited for ailments like arthritis, etc.red soil
Coron is rich of rd clay soil or Ultisols. Facts: Ultisols vary in color from purplish-red, to a blindingly bright reddish-orange, to pale yellowish-orange and even some subdued yellowish-brown tones. They are typically quite acidic, often having a pH of less than 5. The red and yellow colors result from the accumulation of iron oxide (rust) which is highly insoluble in water. Major nutrients, such as calcium and potassium, are typically deficient in Ultisols, which means they generally cannot be used for sedentary agriculture without the aid of lime and other fertilizers such as superphosphate. They can be easily exhausted, and require more careful management than Alfisols or Mollisols. However, they can be cultivated over a relatively wide range of moisture conditions.
