Tagaytay




Without doubt, what appeals most about Tagaytay is its natural attractions. One can take pleasure from one of the most serene natural views that can behold one’s eyes – Taal Volcano the world’s smallest most active volcano that is located within a lake. It is one of the country's most popular tourist destinations because of outstanding scenery and cooler climate provided by its high altitude. Tagaytay overlooks Taal lake in Batangas and provides one of the iconic views of the Philippines, the view of Taal volcano.Tagaytay is especially known for pineapples and you’re sure to catch acres upon acres of pineapple plantations as you cruise down the main highway. The city of Tagaytay is a favorite tourist attraction among local and foreign visitors seeking respite from the humid weather in the lowlands with several tourist establishments providing food and accommodations, some with scenic views of the lake and volcano.




 These are the jeepneys in Olivarez, Tagaytay. Jeepneys are the most common form of public transportation in the Philippines.



Motorcycle with a side car (passenger-cabin) on a third wheel, is what we called "tricycle". Tricycles are used for serving as a kind of taxi for short distances, often on the roads where jeepneys or busses are not supposed to operate.
