Cruz/Calamba (fare: P130.50) or Green Star Express with terminals along Buendia (fare: P123.00) then get dropped off at the terminal in Pagsanjan. After alighting the bus, board a jeepney bound for Siniloan, then alight in front of Pakil Church.

The exact schedule of each celebration (called “lupi”) varies, according to the Christian religious calendar:

Lupi (to fold) got its name from the act of “folding” a novena booklet to signify the closing of the novena. After the novena is done, a dancing procession follows. During the Turumba Festival, religious images are adorned with flowers.

As you’re watching the dancing procession take place, you can also buy street food from the local vendors. Available selections are bibingkang Pakil, suman and espasol.

If you're planning to explore more of Pakil, here are some spots you shouldn't miss.

And if you ave more time you can check out Mount Ping-as. Days before the Turumba Festival, you can hike to the top of Mount Ping-as to strengthen your faith. Another activity you can do is to spend the night at Turumba Spring Resort and enjoy the refreshing water that’s free-flowing and coming down from the mountains.
