One of the best place in Batangas to meditate and reconnect with God. Very good for pilgrims and bisita iglesia.

The place is perfect for retreat and quick out of town trip. There's a life size way of the cross and a church which is a perfect place to visit during the holy week. Parking is available beside the Orchard. Ticket is P50 per head.

My Solo tour Easy to locate and low budget tour. 50.00 entrance fee.

Must visit at least once due to the nice scenery and beautiful views. Mahirap sya puntahan but the trip was fun.

Beautiful and clean place. Must go to if your looking for a peaceful quiet place to clear your mind. Quite close to the highway so can easily be found

Really pleasant views of Taal and stunning atmosphere, the air smells so fresh. I visited during an overcast day with sporadic rain showers but that didn't ruin my experience. It's not expensive to visit and it has wheelchair access for those that wish to visit. It really, truly was an amazing visit, thanks to the staff for keeping such a magnificent place clean and tidy.

They have an entrance discount for students. Parking is a little difficult but manageable. We went here for the station of the cross. The fresh, serene, and solemn atmosphere as you walk through made the experience worth the trip. There are stalls such as coffee, zagu, mango graham drinks, etc. which was perfect for the scorching hot weather.

One of the holy places to visit. The view is beautiful, look at the view of the taal volcano. This is probably one of the places where people go during holy week. Entrance fee is 100 pesos per person and 50 pesos for parking.

A great place to worship and take photos. The place is really beautiful. You will be mesmerized by the flowers all over the place. I, myself can't help but take photos when we're there. At the entrance, we were quite shocked to know that there's an entrance fee knowing that it is a church-everyone is welcome. We payed 50 pesos for the entrance and viola! We are given the privilege to go inside Marian Orchard :D There are food stalls that offers delicious foods(usually snacks). There's a chamber where we got to see a white giant rosary. Awesome place! You can really find peace as the place has a quiet ambiance that gives you time to meditate and appreciate God's creation. I suggest that you attend the mass first and avoid being noisy just to give respect to other visitors especially inside and at the front of the church.

Went here on a Maundy Thursday (2022). Fee is charged at entrance. The place was packed but still airy. The path following the stations of the cross was clear. Stations were almost life-size and well-maintained. Some parts of the venue were under construction but not disruptuve during our visit. Was able to secure a ref magnet for souvenir in their small shop near the entrance.

Its a huge place, to visit and tour with family and friends, churches, gardens and plants are beautifully landscaped! Awesome views and plenty of holy images.

Finding a solemn place + quick getaway to the busy streets of manila, this is a must go to place. Feels like your in Rome but it's just. in Batangas Philippines. A very instagrammable place. First things first get inside the church, pray and give respect before exploring around the area.

Absolutely unusual place to visit

Went here for a quick getaway. Beautiful place but isolated. Came here around 12 noon and it is very sunny and very hot. So make sure to bring umbrella and water. Few people coming in.

We visited this place during holy week and as expected there were a lot of other visitors at that time but i think it was still worth the visit. The chapel is small but beautiful and the surrounding area is picturesque. There is a station of the cross which takes you on a winded path along what seems to be a small hill (so wear comfortable shoes). There are larger than life size statues for each of the stations. Suggest you bring lots of water, umbrella and a fan since it can get hot especially if you'll be there late noon. Near the chapel, there are also gardens, angiant rosary and nice landscape that looks like ruins and lined statues of saints which overall gives a feeling of serenity. The chapel is very easy to find as it is along the main road and we were able to park in the adjacent lot that was turned into a parking lot during that time, not sure though on regular days. There are also some resorts near the place in case you need to spend the night. There are also nearby churches to visit in the town proper of Lipa.

LGU environmental fee P25, SC & PWD- 16 Entrance Fee - 80, SC & PWD - 50 with refresments inside ang CR. pay parking outside.

My mom loooves plants so imagine how excited she was to take photos of different flowers when we got inside. Having all those plants around makes it fun to walk, even though the place is huge! It’s an orchard, so it’s definitely not for those with weak legs. The entrance is beautiful, the place is wonderfully quiet and peaceful and on non-peak days, you’d feel like you have the whole place all to yourself!

Beautiful Way of the Cross!

4000 steps 👍 beautiful..worth it 👍🙏

If you are going to batangas lake land don't forget to drop by here at Marian Orchard Pilgrimage. The view is majestic! You can see the taal volcano from afar. The church is beautiful. Nice place to take a photo. There is a minimal entrance fee but it has a discount for seniors and students. There is also a huge rosary ( you will see in the video ) . Overall a wonderful place.

Have a beautiful scenery

Awesome place

A quiet place for worship

A place for reflection...

A really good place to visit both for the soul and for your body as you will need to walk around to fully explore the place and say some prayers at the same time. There will be noisy tourists as this is one beautiful place.

It was a great experience. It's like i'm in the garden of Mary, a very good place for reflection and it feels like you're with our Sweet Lord. Still hoping to be back here in this place.

The place was great and it also instagramable good for sightseeing

It improved a whole lot through the years. Always my favorite place but the bathroom still needs DIRE improvement

A serene place good for meditation and prayers.

80 php entrance fee. went there on a good friday expecting to have a quiet and solemn visit. place was noisy and crowded. we'll try to come back during non-peak days.

Nice old church well maintained. There's a entrance fee of 50 pesos but worth it. You can almost have a good view of taal volcano and lake.

cool afternoon with the family enjoying the well maintained garden full of blessed. we are all refreshed and blessed to explore the lush greenery and flowers around the orchard grounds.

It's my 2nd time there is a new building where you can see 360 views of taal lake, there is the Station of the Cross which is good in the holy week.

Great place to go with family and friends. It has a nice view and calm ambience.

IG? Go ahead. Praying? Solitude? Soul searching? Go somewhere else.

The place was very solemn...a nice place to unwind...to reflect and to pray ☺️☺️☺️

Entrance fee is 80 pesos. Somewhat worth it if you want to see and experience magnificent catholic sculptures.

Place is like a smaller version of Kawa Kawa Hill in Bicol with its Gigantic Station of the Cross. The Giant Rosary is a must see.There is also a scenic view of Taal at the upper deck of the Chapel. We went there at the height of the sun so heat of the sun was quite exasperating. Our visit ended with the ringing of the bells. Overall, place is worth a visit esp for meditation.

i had a wrong timing 'cause its slightly rainy

nice place to relax and meditate for the whole family

solemn place for worship... nice and good place...worth the visit...

Nice place to strengthen your faith

A beautiful place to reflect and meditate. At the entrance, you are welcomed to a park with a mini-church on top and a row of venerated saints. Going further down the park, you are guided through the walkway going to the 14 stations of the cross, where pilgrim can reflect on the passion of Christ.

A place to visit during Pilgrimage here in Lipa. This a good place for meditation and prayers.

80PHP entrance fee is a little too much. I know it's for maintenance but it's a little pricey specially for a large group. +50PHP parking fee. But the place is really great.

❤

(Translated by Google) The place is very peaceful (Original) Napaka peacefull ng lugar

Beautiful place.

A solemn, peaceful place to reflect and pray in Balete, Batangas

Relaxing place

Entrance fee is 50. They don't have a proper parking space. There's a lot of construction on going inside. But the atmosphere is very relaxing quite and feels sacred. I love that there is a wheelchair ramp everywhere. Don't bother bringing food because they don't allowed it inside even bottlled drinks. I enjoyed balete batangas it has a lot to offer. Many farms are selling bee otw here. I assure you it's 100% pure honey bee 😊 Enjoy touring around it's a lot bigger than padre pio in sto.tomas

Beautifully-landscaped garden with a small chapel to stop by and reconnect with the One.

A Solemn place for worship. Has a difficult elevated driveway going in the place. Parking is limited inside but along the road parking is allowed. Entrance fee is for charity. There are two chapels; one is The Sacred Heart of Jesus going up in the wide cement stairs. Overlooking from the top is a vast garden and the set of carillion bells in which the chimes sounds like the heaven is on earth. The second chapel is The Mary Mediatrix of all graces, situated at the far end after the lines of promenades with the statues of the apostles. It has a centered fountain with little angels. There are clean comfort rooms which has a fee for maintenance and a souvenir shop. A rosary bracelet costs 500 pesos each and can be written with a dedication. In order to get to the Way of the Cross, one will need to walk through the extensive garden. There is a cave with the Santo Entierro with a small garden outside and a flowing water with statue of angels playing and live fishes swimming on the mini pond. It is also the place where you can light a candle to pray. A great place to find peace and if it works then one might have their faith back in humanity.

Solemnity

Great place to reflect and listen to nature. It is open with an entrance fee of 80 pesos. There are new areas such as the Rosarium, chimes, neely built Chapel of Immaculate Heart of Mary, was unable to see Plaza Salida, and Via Crusis Garden are life-size statues. Road to via crusis are a bit mossy and slippery. Must be careful in walking. Other than that, it was peaceful and quiet.

Very relaxing place..

Superb!
