Activities in Nuvali, Sta. Rosa, Laguna! Feeding of Fish, Boating at the Lake, Wake Boarding, Eating and Walking Around the Park.

I had planned my itinerary well, just to visit this koi fish in Nuvali, Sta. Rosa Laguna. I love seeing those hundred of koi fish at one time and I think more than thousand of fish are there that turned the water orange. There are different varities of koi in the pond: colors mostly orange, red, gold, yellow, pink, black and white. A very nice place to visit and unwind during off weekend.These is my first stop before going to Tagaytay and Batangas on a weekend. They are operating from 8:00am to 6:00pm daily. Here's the rate of some of their activities: Fish Feeds - Php 15/pack, Taxi Boat Rental - Php 30/head (minimum of 6 person) & Bike Rental ( you can tour around the whole area) just for Php 60/hour. There are a lot of building is now being constructed and facilities is on going. Just enjoy the wind, feeding the koi fish, taking photos and fun fun fun for the whole day.

Weekend at Nuvali Lake in Sta Rosa Laguna

Just take a boat ride, fish feeding, overlooking view of the lake, mountain biking and walking around the area is the best idea in my mind before heading to Nuvali in Sta. Rosa, Laguna. This is the place to be, if your're looking for a relax place during the weekend and outside the busy life of Metro Manila. Nuvali is an hour away from Tagaytay City and the first large scale eco-friendly community of Ayala Land. I like this green-themed park with the view of Nuvali Lake and surrounded with tall trees and flowers.

Challenging Spelunking Experience in Sagada, Mountain Province

I survived Sumaguing Cave! Deep, Dark, Slippery and There's no turning back! This is the  words I actually in my mind before going down to the cave of Sumaguing! Yes, this is a must-do adventure activities in Mountain Province! Normally, it will takes about 3-4 hours inside the cave but I suggest to be early during your trip to avoid many crowds inside the cave. One of the popular indoor activity in Sagada, Mountain Province and most of the people spending their last activities during the trip. I've seen many old and new stalagmite and rock formation inside the cave. Ones inside the cave you will be amazed, challenging obstacle or passages, slippery walkway, rappelling, crawling, climbing and exciting view inside. You'll appreciate this beauty of the nature and this is one true adventure you don't want to miss it. The water is so very cold and clear. Our two guides are excellent that made us felt we will safely survive the adventure inside the cave. Note: bring waterproof camera if possible and bring water during your spelunking adventure. For me, trekking and spelunking is one of the new interest during my trip and quite a challenge for me and I like that you can actually saw stalagmite and touch them. Just perfect for a new beginner like me. 

Spelunking or Caving in Sumaguing Cave, Sagada Mountain Province

It takes about 30-40 minutes walk from the town proper of Sagada, heading to Suyo road where the Sumaguing Cave is located. Our Sagada experience continue, while walking around the cave I noticed some of big stalagmite and rock formation but first pay for their environmental fee cost you about Php 60 per head.  From the main entrance of the cave, you'll step from a man-made stairs going down then start with slippery and muddy walkway going down. It was so tiring but really worth it, our guide is so supportive and helpful about us on do 's and dont's inside the cave. This is our first time to do spelunking in the cave. You'll see some of rock formation images such as the turtle, the elephant, the pregnant queen and the king cause of the pregnant! hehehe! It will take 3-5 hours to finish caving, but nothing to be worried. Time passed so fast and you will notice that you almost stayed inside of the cave for such hours. 

Spelunking in Sagada is an experience that you will never forget and I certainly go back again, for sure Sagada memories will stay in my mind forever. Thanks for the people I met in Sagada.

Wandering the Hanging Coffins of Sagada in Mountain Province

After touring around the town center of Sagada. We decide to book our day tour package at SAGGAS one of my preferred tourist guide facilities & association. It was so great to see those old aged-coffins! Seeing the hanging coffins and doing the cave spelunking is a must-do experience and these was our priority activities that day. We dropped from the hanging coffins on our way to Sumaguing Cave and take photos of the coffins over mountain.The first question you will have is " How did they manage to put those coffins on the side of the mountain?" my answer is amazing & unique indeed.  It was a worth visiting the area with a stunning limestone formation at the cliff of mountain. I always look around, trees swaying to soft winds, echoes from birds, cold weather & great nature ambiance all over the place. 

I hope this thing from the past will be take care & preserve for the next generation of backpacker around the world. It was a good experience. Note: Good to visit during Summer time mid of March to April and all I can say is perfectly beautifully amazing place to be free for stress! :-) Happy Trip - Bisayang Manlalakbay around the Philippines.
