Tagaytay, considered as the country's second summer
capital because of its crisp and cool climate all year around,
is a treasure box of pleasure points in by itself. At nightfall,
one sees the lake sparkle with the pinpoint lights of fishing
boats. It is a perfect picnic spot. Here, the Department of
Tourism (DOT) and the Philippine Tourism Authority built Picnic
Groove, a public park in the city which generates public
patronage through user fees and the sale of low priced goods,
thus contributing to the industrial growth of Tagaytay. Tagaytay
is home to Taal Volcano, which is reputed to be the world's
smallest and yet most active. It stands on its own island amid a
landscape of ash and cinder. The breathtaking views of Taal
volcano and Lake is a MUST SEE for everyone visiting Asia. It is
truly a once in a life time experience and we recommend a visit
in the strongest possible way.
Tagaytay, however, is more than a picnic haunt. The place has
given rise to many congregational houses and retreat centers. It
is also conductive to spiritual meditation, that is earned yet
another title for being the "Center of Spiritual Retreat." Thus,
the masterpiece of nature that is Tagaytay is a not to be missed
item in a tourist itinerary. It should always include a visit to
the Volcano Island, and its enumerable side spots. Tagaytay
City, located 2,500 feet above sea level enjoys a cool and
invigorating climate characterized by a relatively low
temperature, low humidity, and abundant rainfall. Average
temperature is 22.7 degrees Celsius. For this reason, Tagaytay
with its cool weather, balmy winds and foggy mists is called the
"second summer capital" of the
country after Baguio City. |
