Kawa Kawa Hill













Kawa Kawa Hill is located in Tuburan, Ligao City, Albay, Philippines.  It currently has the Stations of the Cross and a life size replica of the Last Supper. A church is being constructed next to the Carmelite Nunnery due to the donations of Fernando Gonzalez and his wife. The fourteen stations are accessed by means of terraced steps that lead up the hillside.  Each station has life size figures that represent Jesus and his last journey.  You can sit and contemplate or continue trudging to the top of the hill where you will have breathtaking views of the Kawa Kawa of bowl of the crater.  On this grassy plain, children and adults engage in sporting events and picnic.  There are terraces of plantings that are native to the Philippines and some like the pineapple or guava, are harvested when the fruit is ripe.  On the crest of the hill is a rest house and a CR or comfort room. Fernando greeted us as we began our climb and he is often on the site to talk to the visitors.  There is no entrance charge.
