The main focus of this blog is to tour our kabalikats to different tourist destinations in CALABARZON (Cavite, Batangas, Rizal and Quezon) that would hopefully give them a detailed and personalized overview of what beauty this sole region has to offer. This tour and adventure definitely made us appreciate the beauty of the Philippines even more, not to mention that CALABARZON is only speck of dust to the still undiscovered archipelago that has 7107 islands still waiting to be discovered.
As residents of Laguna we can’t help but brag about the different tourist destinations you will find in this mystic province located south of Luzon, a few hours’ drive away from Manila, capital of the Philippines.
The province is one of the few places in the Philippines where tourism works hand-in-hand with industrial development. Blessed with rich natural resources, Laguna is and will always be a leisure paradise and a business haven for sightseers, vacationers and nature-lovers.
We’ve seen and presented almost all the equally beautiful towns in Laguna but there’s still one town that calls us to visit. Pagsanjan (pronounced pag-sang-han) is situated 92 kilometers south of Manila and can easily be reached via car or bus in less than two hours. It is world-renowned because of Pagsanjan Falls, whose enchanting beauty lures tourist from all over the globe.
Pagsanjan is considered as a world-class tourist destination in the Philippines because it is gifted with natural wonders and scenic views that would truly charm anyone who visits the place. Road trip to Pagsanjan is a fascinating journey that can be enjoyed by anyone whose fond nature and traveling. Pagsanjan falls, technically known as Magdapo falls is located at the next town, Cavinti. However, the falls has been popularly known as "Pagsanjan Falls" because the trip to the waterfalls, referred to as "shooting the rapids", starts in Pagsanjan, passes through part of Lumban, then Cavinti.
On the way to the magnificent waterfalls, one may feel the relaxing atmosphere and beauty brought by the experience of harmony with nature. While entering the tropical gorge, one will see wild orchids, ferns, vines, dragonflies, lizards and monkeys. The closest you can get to nature.
With the skill of boatmen who spent their whole life on the river, they will safely guide your "banca" on an exciting two-hour journey. Before the Pagsanjan falls some people would sell you drinks and food. As you pass by the falls there is a deafening roar as the water hit as you pass. Visitors can stay for a few minutes inside the shallow cave behind the falls. It is amazing to watch the falls from that viewpoint. The tourists are also encouraged to swim in the 4 feet deep cove though you cannot see underwater since it is filled with earth.
Pagsanjan is definitely another jewel and pride of the province that gives everyone a good reason to visit the province of Laguna so if this is your kind of thrill then visiting the town is a real adventure of a lifetime that would only take two to three hours away from Manila.
