Travel Destination, Tagaytay, Philippines

I'm back again, and want to share to you all my experience in Tagaytay last week.

We went there again with the whole family enjoying the last few days of summer. Tagaytay is just an 1hour and a half from manila, it is located in southern part of luzon. Tagaytay is at the top of the mountain just like baguio but a little bit lower. People go there to experience a nice weather and a little bit chill in the wind, because of it's high altitude.

We went there around lunch time and headed first at picnic grove. Picnic grove is a place in tagayatay, where you can relax and enjoy the beautiful scenery. It is not a hotel, it's like a public park where you can bring your food, and cook it there you can even grill hotdogs, steak or anything that you can cook. Cooking there is free you don't need to pay as long as you bring your equipment with you. You will spend your money only if you use their cottages and tables. 300 pesos being the expensive cottages and 100 pesos for the small table that is good for four person already.

If you just want to go there and just want to see the view. You can also do that but you will pay 50 pesos per person for the entrance of the park. you can sit there and relax, you can even bring kite or you can rent it from there. The wind is nice for kite flying. But the time we where there the wind is too strong, about 60km to 70km per hour, so it's kinda strong, but we where enjoying it as the wind most probably will blown as away. lol.

There are some attraction at picnic grove. They have a horse back riding that they offer, but we didn't tried. Over all picnic grove is a good place to go if you are in a tight budget. Considering the magnificent view of taal lake and taal volcano.

After we finished our lunch we went to my brother in laws vacation house. It's near picnic grove and still in the vicinity of tagaytay. It is called canyon woods. In there the house and the view is more than i expected, it's wonderful.

Canyon woods is a private subdivision it has all the amenities that a traveler like me would ask for. It has a huge clubhouse, a sport club, a golf course, a swimming pool etc. Not everyone can go there, it's not open for public. You can only go there if you have a friend who have a house and a membership in the club.

We stayed there and spend the whole afternoon and evening together. My kids loves the place because the garden is huge. They run they pick some flowers and some insect that they like to collect. while we do some cooking, We played card games, we say jokes on each other, we had a lot of fun and we enjoyed every moment, until it's time to sleep, and so we rest and looking forward for a beautiful morning.

The morning came and we ate our breakfast, we stroll around the subdivision we went places there and i can't express my self anymore, so i hope the pictures might give you an idea of what we had experience.

Thanks and i hope you can experience tagaytay also. They have a lot of hotels out there for the rich and the not too rich people, so I encourage you and your love ones to visit tagaytay and all the places here in my country called the PHILIPPINES........
