Life in Pakil

From its narrow streets, antique houses, its ancient church, and up to its lively plaza, Pakil exudes the essence of small town living. Do you have a story to tell about Pakil? Share it with us.

Welcome to Pakil

Pakil is a small quiet town located between the mountains of Sierra Madre and Laguna de Bay in the province of Laguna. It is known for the Turumba Festival, in honor of Nuestra Señora delos Dolores de Turumba ("Our Lady of Sorrows of Turumba"). It also features the old San Pedro de Alcantara church, built for 37 years during the Spanish period. Other places to see are the Turumba Swimming Pool and Mt. Ping-As.
