Laguna is a quaint, rustic province south of Metro
Manila. It is a place packed with history and culture.
To get here, you can take the bus that leaves from Manila for
Los Banos or Calamba. From here, you can take a jeepney to go to
the other towns. Laguna, Resort Province of the Philippines, is a
haven of fresh and pristine bodies of water such as hot springs,
lakes, and waterfalls. Most notable is Pagsanjan Falls, formerly
called Magdapio Falls, referred to as “shooting rapids.” It is
found in Cavinti, starting from Pagsanjan town. Another is Lake
Caliraya, which is located between Cavinti and Lumban. The
strong mountain breeze that blows from the Sierra Madre Mountain
Ranges and the distant Mount Banahaw makes the lake an ideal
place for aqua sports like wind surfing, water skiing, sailing
as well as game fishing. Laguna de Bay, Southeast Asia’s largest
fresh water lake, stays pristine throughout the year due to
regular rain showers.
