Mt. Tapyas

Mt. Tapyas is a prominent hill and viewpoint in Coron Town on Busuanga Island, Palawan, Philippines. Rising about 210 meters above sea level, it is known for its 721-step concrete staircase leading to a large white cross at the summit. The hill offers panoramic views over Coron town, Coron Bay and surrounding islands. It is a popular spot for sunrise and sunset viewing and is accessible on foot from the town center without an entrance fee.

Visitors can expect a climb of 721 concrete steps with handrails leading to a summit plateau dominated by a large white cross. The summit features a viewing deck with 360-degree panoramic views over Coron Town, Coron Bay, Busuanga Island and nearby islets. The setting is open and exposed with limited shade. Visitors can explore the viewing platform, take photographs, and watch sunrise or sunset over the town and sea.

The large white cross at the summit was erected as a Christian landmark and has become an iconic symbol of Coron Town, visible from much of the town and bay area.

The cross holds religious significance for the local Christian community and the hill serves as a communal gathering place for sunset viewing and town observation.
