Only about two hours away south of Manila, Tagaytay sits on a ridge 685 meters above Taal Lake and its active volcano-island. From a vantage point along the ridge, one can get a good look at the maws of a seemingly placid but volatile Taal Volcano surrounded by the gleaming waters of the lake. The cool, breezy, and at times foggy weather makes it an ideal summer getaway next to Baguio City. The extensive fruit and flower gardens lining the main road are attributed to its rich, fertile soil. After enjoying a native refreshment at Josephine’s Restaurant, return to Manila – but not until after dropping by the world-famous Bamboo Organ of Las Piñas Church, which dates back to 1824, and a jeepney factory.

Inclusions: : round-trip air-conditioned car, van, coach transfers, light refreshments in Tagaytay, entrance fee at Las Piñas Church, and services of an English-speaking tour guide
