How to Get to the CCT Tagaytay Retreat and Training Center




Need to do an ocular visit to the CCT Tagaytay Retreat and Training Center for your church or organization? Here's how to get there! 

By private vehicle from Metro Manila: Enter  the South Luzon Expressway (SLEX) at any of the following points: 
  • Buendia Flyover (Gil Puyat Flyover)
  • Skyway: Gil Puyat Ramp
  • Skyway: Makati
  • Arnaiz Avenue / Pasay Road Intersection
  • Skyway: Don Bosco Magallanes
  • Skyway Entrance: Magallanes
  • Nichols Toll Barrier
  • C5
  • Merville
  • Skyway: Bicutan
  • Bicutan
  • Skyway: Dr. A. Santos (Sucat)
  • Sucat
  • Skyway: Alabang South Station
  • Alabang
  • Filinvest
  • Susana Heights 

If you choose to take the Skyway, after the toll plaza, get off on the ramp leading to the rest of SLEX below. Otherwise you will end up in Alabang-Zapote. 

Leave SLEX at the Greenfield City/ Eton City Exit (Malitlit Exit).  Drive along the Greenfield Parkway, passing Eton City on the right and Pramana on the left.  Three kilometres from SLEX you will arrive at a fork in the road.  Take the left road which is United Blvd. Drive straight ahead for the next four kilometres. At the intersection just past the Southern Luzon Hospital, drive straight ahead.  Turn right at San Bruno Drive passing Paseo de Sta Rosa.  Drive straight ahead until you reach the Tagaytay-Sta.Rosa Road where you turn left across from Rose and Grace Restaurant. Drive along the Tagaytay-Sta. Rosa Road for the next seven kilometres passing Sta. Elena Subdivision, Brittany, Nuvali, and Crown Asia.

Continue onto a two-lane road passing through Silang, Cavite. Landmarks are Pasong Langka, Ponderosa, and Windsor Heights.  Follow this road until you arrive at the Tagaytay Public Market just several meters from  the Tagaytay-Calamba Road. Turn left here  --  you will be heading  in the direction of the Picnic Grove. (Meanwhile, enjoy breathtaking views of Taal Lake and Taal Volcano on your right). Turn left again on Kaykulot, a single lane road just past the entrance to the Picnic Grove. The Tagaytay Retreat and Training Center is 800 meters from this point.


Travel time: About 1 1/2 hours from Manila
Toll fee: P167 as of May 2011.


The Tagaytay Retreat and Training Center is managed by the Center for Community Transformation. Some of the buildings here were built by former street dwellers being ministered to by CCT.   Read the heartwarming story of one changed life HERE.

  1. Thank you for the good information here. It would also be very helpful to know how to get to you from Manila International Airport, as having never been to the Philippines before, some of the station names etc. are just a jumble...

    1. From Manila International Airport take the Sucat road leading to (SLEX) South Luzon Expressway. Then follow the instructions previously given.
