How to get to Mt. Samat

From Manila, you need take the North Expressway (Balintawak Cloverleaf) and take the exit at San Fernando. From San Fernando Pampanga, head southwestward about 34km all the way to the Layak junction that leads to Olongapo. At the junction, head straight. About half a kilometer from the Layak junction the road will veer left and will head southward. Just follow the road southward. A short distance from the point where the road veers southward, there will be a junction. Just follow the road to the right. This will take you through the main highway that bypasses the towns of Orani, Abucay and Balanga. After about 24km on this main highway, you will see a clearly marked junction that points to Mt. Samat on the right. Turn right, then about 4.5km towards Mt. Samat there will be a junction on the left that leads to the Shrine. This access road is about 6.5km winding uphill.
