Mt. Maynoba and Cayabu loop with waterfalls side trip | Overnight Climb

We met up in Jollibee farmers in Cubao QC. for breakfast. We took a jeepney going to Cogeo Gate 2 and we advised kuya driver to drop we off to Cogeo market. There is a jeepney near 7-11 going to Sampaloc, Tanay. You can tell the driver that you’re going to Mt. Maynoba and he will drop you off to Batangasan. The tricycle fare is P200 from Batangasan to jump-off, Brgy. Cayabu.

Registration fees varies depending on the type of hike. You can choose Mt. Maynoba only or, Maynoba and Cayabu loop. We planned to spend the night up there so they charged us P1,250 which is reasonable for overnight guide fee. We started to climb late in the afternoon. Kuya guide advised its better to start late if you’re planning to spend the night as there are few trees in the campsite for shades.

It took us 1 and a half hour to reach the first campsite, then we decided to spend the night there. The photo above with tent is the campsite kuya guide recommended as it was already 5 PM and the summit is 1 hour trek from here. We have 2 Century Tuna for dinner, we just cooked our rice in the campsite.

It was Friday night, we are the only campers including our tour guide. The night was so peaceful and quiet but we can still here the tricycle and videoke below.

It was cloudy the next day. We woke up early for sun rise picture taking and to prepare our breakfast. We have no sea of clouds shot. According to kuya guide, there is a low chance to witness sea of clouds during January and February as the wind above is so strong and clouds do not form. We was advised to visit Mt. Maynoba again during the month of March to May.

We followed the trail of Cayabu loop to reach the river were the 8 wonder falls is located. We passed through the Mt. Maynoba summit with an elevation of 728 meters above sea level. The campsite in the summit is wide, so if we will visit again with our friends, we will choose this spot.
