How to go to Lucban:
Coming from Manila, catch a Lucena bound bus in EDSA-Kamuning, Araneta Center, Buendia-Taft and EDSA Pasay. Commercial buses regularly ply the Manila-Lucena route for a three-hour travel time. These buses will stop at Lucena Grand Central Terminal. From there, take a Lucban bound jeep or mini bus, a 45-minute ride.
