Mt. Tapyas, a prominent landmark in Coron, Philippines, stands tall over Coron Town and offers a panoramic view of the Sulu Sea. At its peak, visitors are greeted by a large ‘Coron’ sign and a towering crucifix that illuminates at night. As the sun sets, the sea takes on a bronze hue, and the surrounding hills and islands transform into silhouettes against the sky. For a more serene experience, early risers can hike up before dawn to capture the tranquil, ambient light and avoid the crowds.
