Tiaong

Spend a half day in Tiaong: visit Villa Escudero, Tiaong Church and Lake Tikub; stay overnight only if using Villa Escudero resort.

Not yet checkedSourcesWhat these labels mean

Tiaong is a small agricultural town in Quezon Province, acting as a gateway on Maharlika Highway. Its main attractions are Villa Escudero resort, a historic church, a volcanic crater lake and a pottery garden. All sights are within a 5‑km radius and reachable on foot or by tricycle, so a half‑day visit suffices unless you stay at the resort.
