The breathtaking view from
Tagaytay overlooking Taal is one of the reasons why people flock to this south
bound town/city away from the metro, Manila that is. So here’s my share of
being left in awe through an amazing place like Tagaytay. A few photos below depict
the wonderful Taal from Tagaytay.
These photos were taken
from one of popular Tagaytay restaurants – Leslie’s. We weren’t there to dine
and just wanted a platform where we can freely see the Taal just outside the restaurant. So if you’re thinking of
doing the same, this food stop is the best stop for you. But if you’re
starving, Leslie’s still serve their purpose as a restaurant well. You can
choose from a variety of foods from the menu.
Road Trip in Tagaytay
Aside from taking
snapshots of the Taal lake and volcano from the heights of Tagaytay, there are
still a lot of things you can do. But most people would simply love to drive
from Manila to Tagaytay and back again in a road trip type of travel where they
can simply drop by specific spots or any place they would want to stop for that
matter. That’s what we did and we were able to drive past popular places in
Tagaytay for a whole day. If you’re going to do the same, best to leave the
metro early in the morning while traffic doesn’t plague the roads yet,
particularly in the Cavite area and then drive back to the major cities again
by sundown or early evening. Otherwise, you can pick a Tagaytay hotel nearby
and spend the night resting after a full day’s drive and roll before driving
home the next early morning.
Whether you go on a road
trip or commute, you’ll love the scenery you’d past by to. The provincial vibe
will greet you the moment you’re out of SLEX (South Luzon Expressway) so that
in itself is already a breather away from the congested urban area. Once you
reach Tagaytay, it’s even more captivating. You’ll love the cold breeze as you
slowly ascend the hills. This same comfortable temperature is what makes
Tagaytay a rising haven for real estate. Problem is; unstable slopes can become
dangerous when paired with opportunistic developers who compromise quality
materials to be able to earn more. Also, just the presence of too many houses
alone may lessen the value of the area. We can compare it with Baguio. The
place is definitely colder and safer a decade or so ago when it was less
populated.
That’s not for us to worry
about for now though. For as long as Tagaytay remains rich with the beauty it
is known for, we will always drop by anytime.
