Directions:

There are two ways to get to the National Power Corporation (NPC) “Camarin” Resort in Caliraya Lake, Laguna, both requiring travel by or around the Laguna de Bay:

OPTION ONE: Take the south Luzon express highway (SLEX) and exit at Calamba. Proceed to Los Banos and onward to Pagsanjan. Calamba to Pagsanjan should take you about one hour of travel time. When you reach Pagsanjan, pass the arch and on to a “T” intersection fronting the old catholic church. Turn left and proceed to the town of Lumban. Cross a fairly long bridge and after a few more kilometers, you will see a turnoff to your right. There will be signs in that turnoff informing motorists that it is the road to Caliraya lake. Turn right and proceed to climb via a gentle zigzag upwards till you reach the lake. Stay on the main road around the lake and after two or three kilometers you will notice a small park to the right called the Japanese Gardens. The Camarin Resort gate is almost in front of, or just a few meters after the Japanese Gardens to your left.

OPTION TWO: Drive to Antipolo on Ortigas Extension from EDSA. When you reach Antipolo, stay right on the elliptical road and down on a zigzag to the town of Teresa. Staying on the main road at all times, drive to the town of Tanay, then to the town of Pililia, up another zigzag and down again to the town of Mabitac and on to Pakil, then to Paete (staying on the main road ) and finally to Lumban. While driving through Lumban, watch for the “Samonte Resort” sign. As soon as you see this resort, there is a left turn on the road leading upwards. There are signs on this turnoff indicating it is the road to Caliraya. Turn Left on that road and proceed to climb via a gentle zigzag upwards till you reach the lake. Stay on the main road around the lake and after two or three kilometers you will notice a small park to the right called the Japanese Gardens. The Camarin gate is almost in front of, or just a few meters after the Japanese Gardens to your left
