It will be nice to visit this place together with a visit to the Taal Basilica. It is just quite near each other. Lots of children selling candles for P20. They can tell the story of Our Lady as if like a recorded message.
The area is not maintained though. Public toilet is paid but not maintained. The steps leading to the shrine should be modified to make it safer. It can also be made a little less dark as it is too much shaded.

Considered as one of the oldest images of the Blessed Virgin Mary in the Philippines, this icon of Our Lady of Caysasay is visited by countless devotees and pilgrims all over the country all year through and not only during her feast day in December. The church that houses the religious image is quite small and simple, but it's really the interesting history of its discovery in 1603 and the many miracles attributed to it that draw people to the shrine. You can attend a Holy Mass when you visit the church, say a prayer, light a candle, or simply touch the image from behind the main altar.

When we went to the shrine, there were many devotees all over the area. There were food stalls etc. They were even selling empty bottles for the miraculous water near the well.

The historic Our Lady of Caysasay notes the faith of the locals. Amazing history and stories of miracle accounts. The shrine is well-preserved. But, beware of the candle vendors, yes, it is good to help them, but, I got irritated when they continue to push their innocence to my face. They will say sob stories and they will follow you until you buy their products. The moment I entered the compound, kids and mothers rushed towards the car to push their products to us. I had the urge to just leave but I faced them and said an easy no. Nonetheless, it was a sacred experience to have touched the miraculous Our Lady.

The Shrine is a small chapel with an interesting story. Just over a hundred steps below the main town, the Shrine is an easy addition to a tour of the heritage town and provides ready access to the better known Sta Lucia well.

My family and I visited this place while in Taal. Immediately as we parked our SUV, a 15 year old girl offered to be our curator. Her younger sister was there to be a guide as well (sharing her several encounters with the Lady). Several children came to beg and to sell candles. It is heartbreaking to see this. One child begged us to buy candles from him since everyone in our family bought candles from this one girl. The 15 yo girl curator spoke in a hurried fashion (as if she has memorized the history of this church). I had to ask her to slow down as I didn't understand what she was saying. We were told that she has been doing for 7 years. The church looks old/historical as it was dated 1603. The history of the church is so interesting. We walked up the stairs at the back of the church to view the back of the Lady. There is a sign that says you can stroke the robe of the Lady but you cannot pull the hair for a souvenir. There is a testimony of one person who was ill and after praying to the Lady was healed. There is a small office/store on the side where you can buy religious articles. On the other side of the same room, there is a place where you can pray and hang your rosaries and petitions. We then walked outside the church toward the place where the Lady was originally found. There is a place where you can light your candles and pray for your petitions. The surroundings was nice with lots of trees. A man is waiting at the bottom of the shrine with two buckets of water. The first bucket of water is for you to get water and splash it on your face and head. The second bucket of water is for your body. Then you have to say a prayer. They believed that this is where the Lady was found by this fisherman. It is a very interesting/Holy place for me to visit. I believe! We gave the curator a tip after the tour. It is best not to give out money to these children who are begging as it encourages them to continue to beg. I encouraged them to stay in school instead.

If you are in Taal, then you should visit the Shrine of Our Lady of Caysasay. It is a small humble church that could do with some TLC but worth the trip.

Hello There,
You can take a bus if you are from Manila. Take the bus going to Lemery. From Lemery take the jeepney to Taal. Once you are in town proper you can hire a tricycle to take you there. 10 pesos per person. Hope this helps!
