Pagsanjan Falls via Cavinti, Laguna

       Laguna is a place of bliss just 2 hours away from Manila. Pagsanjan falls is a very well known falls in the Philippines, but the fact is that it is located in Anglas, Cavinti Laguna. Locals call it Magdapio falls or Cavinti falls. There are two ways to get to the falls: first an expensive but thrilling ride from Pagsanjan Laguna , second an adventurous and exciting hike from Cavinti Laguna. Since I love adventures we took the second way to Cavinti Laguna.

        This is the sign at the entrance of the nature park. From the entrance we walk apprx. 100 meters to the office, we register and pay for the entrance fee and the rappelling fee. After that the guy at the office give us some reminders and rules on going down the falls. We followed the cemented pathway and some muddy path. I was amazed by the Santol tree around the cemented path the fruits just lay there decayed and there was like a sack of them! Its kinda expensive in Manila. We also passed a small mountain stream, the water is crystal clear and we tried a bit of it its a little bit sweet and amazingly cold.

Trek/Horse ride to Taal Volcano main crater

    So this happened April of 2011. I know it is late, but i still wanna share my adventure to Taal's crater.

     At that time we don't really have plans on going to the crater we just wanna chill at Tagaytay. We planned to eat our lunch at picnic groove but when we arrived  the place is crowded there are many people at that time so we don't have place to stay or eat that is when a guy approached us and he ask my mom if we want to see the crater of the volcano. I was thrilled with what I heard, we all agreed to have an adventure and avail the package the guy was offering us.  We took our lunch at the resort (I forgot the name of that place) then rest for a while and we rode a boat going to the bottom of the Taal volcano.
