TOURIST SPOT IN PAMPANGA

TUTULARI AVATAR

CD080533-1876-40-E7-B2-C8-B4-B54966362-C

The Tutulari Avatar Gorge is located in Porac, Pampanga.

Named after the Kapampangan word tutulu, which means “dripping,” evident by its flowing waterfalls and dripping moss, the gorge is a long-labyrinth-like trail with high stone walls that create a mysterious and otherworldly ambiance. It even got the name “Avatar” as the place resembles the terrains of the fictional planet Pandora in the Avatar movie franchise.

In 2022, the Aetas, a local indigenous community, opened their ancestral land as a new tourist destination to promote cultural awareness, appreciation of its natural beauty, and to aid in the development of local infrastructures for the community.

Tutulari Avatar Gorge beckons with its enchanting 500-meter trail, accessible only by embarking on an 11-kilometer off-road adventure, whether by the rugged four-wheel-drive pickup truck or a sports utility vehicle. The trail remained unexplored even before the eruption of Mount Pinatubo. The Tutulari Avatar Gorge is associated by Aetas with the movie 'Avatar' as the gorge strongly resembles the landscapes shown in the Hollywood film.

From Pampanga to Tutulari Avatar Gorge is 56 mins (23.8 km) via Fil-am Friendship hwy.

THE SUNKEN SHRINE OF OUR LADY OF LOURDES

3-B98702-F-25-E0-462-B-9197-1-D042-D498-D12

Sunken Shrine of our Lady of Lourdes is located kn Cabetican, Bacolor Pampanga.

Embedded deep into the earth, the Sunken Shrine of Our Lady of Lourdes of Cabetican once stood seven storeys high at its peak until it was buried by ash from Mt. Pinatubo's reuption in 1991 and subsequent lahar and mud flows in the years following. The Cabetican Shrine of Our Lady of Lourdes in Bacolor, Pampanga, Philippines was built in 1981 and became a popular pilgrimage site until it was submerged.

To enter the Sunken Shrine of Our Lady of Lourdes of Cabetican, you have to get on bended knee and crouch through meter-high openings in the massive walls of the church. On the day of our visit, flooding caused by heavy rain the night before made the east and main entryway impassable, leaving the opening at the west façade the better means of entry. The distance one traverses to get inside the church is a mere 1.7 meters, but the experience can be a transformative one. Shuffling through the truncated space at a crouch, or on hands and knees as some do, the light gets progressively dimmer.

In the growing darkness, you hear and feel the grit of the floor and the rough concrete above your head so much more acutely, and imagine the crushing weight of the wall above. The earthy smell of rain, grass, and damp soil takes over. These sensations are not all that alien, but in those few seconds, it is like entering the unknown. One cannot help but feel meek and uncertain. And then, stepping into the vast space of the shrine, your eyes adjust to the muted light coming from the half-disc skylight above the altar, and the feeling of a great burden and unease lifts.
