There may be many steps but the view on top will be worth it.

A visit to Shrine of Nuestra Señora de la Caridad and its belfry known as Bantay Bell Tower may be done early in the morning as it tends to be hot and humid in the afternoon, if not with thunderstorms. Beside the bell tower, another sight to see is the Chapel by the Ruins which is also just beside the main Church.
