LAGUNA TOURIST ATTRACTIONS

Mount Makiling is a potentially active volcano in Laguna province on the island of Luzon, Philippines. It rises to 1,090 m above mean sea level.

Since its adoption as a protected area by the University of the Philippines, Mt. Makiling has become one of the “mainstay” destinations for mountaineers, as well as scientists and tourists. The forest, which was restored during the 1910s, remains in pristine condition; a plethora of birds, reptiles, and other fauna continue to thrive in Makiling. Due to its popularity, the trails leading to Peak 2 are well-established, and no guide is necessary to climb the mountain. Although extensive damage was wrought by typhoon ‘Milenyo’ in 2006, as of the 2009 climbing season the UPLB trail has recovered and is now open for climbing. See Photo Gallery…

Taytay Falls

Located at Barangay Gagalot, Majayjay, Laguna, Taytay falls has some of the clearest waters. The water flows from Mt. Banahaw, through the mountain’s lush and untouched forest which keeps the water clear even during heavy rains. The water temperature is extremely cold even during summer but, for people who are not used to cold water, they can still take a swim for a few minutes before their teeth should start chattering.
