A jaunt to Tagaytay

As a kid, I've always known Tagaytay as place to go horse back riddingand sunday picnic. As I grow older, it came in to be a place for overlooking gimmick place and beer bong area. Now, it still rhe same old everything except that I see more to it - a place of good food, haven of relaxation ( it got numerous spa and healty food ) and peaceful sanctuaries wherein you can meditate and appreciate life's blessings.

One of the places in Tgaytay I would recommnd to freinds is Caleruega. For me it's not just a place or worship but a refuge away from the buzzling city life. It has wonderful lanscapes picture perect sceneries and refreshing ambience that would surely make your visit enchanting.

HOW TO GET THERE : After a long rocky road from the gate of Dn Bosco- Churh on the hill; go straight until you see the sign. Just follow the road and it will lead you directly to the Churchs' entrance

Amidst the rocky road, you'll see lucious greens around you that make the trip worthwhile...



The staircase that's shape as a uterus reminds the visitor about the importance of mother hood


Enjoying the view at the rooftop Terraza..

The Altar. ( There was a wedding taking place when we visited the place, I think this couple made a good choice getting this place!)



Here's what I love most about this place, a peaceful hideaway with great art masterpieces combined


ANd you think I would leave Tagaytay without rewarding myself with good food? Definitely NOT!

Next Stop, The Cliff House along Tagaytay's main road. Entrance is pretty small compared to other custer of Restos along the area so I suggest you stroll along the road carefully so as not to miss the place. If you're from Tagytay Rotonda goint to Batangas, Cliff House will be on your right side. Here's a peek of some Restaurants inside ...








The view deck..




The famous volcano in the Lake, or is it a lake within the volcano? Whatever it is, Taal would always be one of Tagaytay's prime spot bith for local and foreign tourist alike.

To end our Tgaytay trip, we head to a Coffe shop/ Snack bar before going back to Manila. Going back, passing through Santa Rosa exit, we decided to try this new place called the Tgaytay Econo inn. As same says, It's actually an inn wherein you can stay if you decide to extend your trip overnight. Place is neat and Price is affordable starting from Php2500 per night. I'm not really sure what's included in this package but seems to be pretty reasonable. The lobby cafe has good food and I can say for the price of their pasta meals, taste is really good!

The Entrace to the Inn serves as a view deck and an outdoor Coffe place. Too bad we weren't able to stay here since it was too cold and windy at that time.

From my freinds Amalie's smile, Can you say food is okay?


To wrap it alls, My tagaytay experience as always pleasurable! It is something I would never get tired of visitng over and over again. And of course,there's never a bad travel if you share it with good friends! Until then, See you again Tagaytay!
