South of Manila in the province of Cavite is a very popular tourist destination called Tagaytay which is known for it’s mild climate. Well mild, it’s not as hot and humid as Manila, but still up there when compared to other places 🙂
Tagaytay sits on a ridge above Taal Volcano Island which is an active volcano in the Taal lake.
A great spot to see all of the area is from the Peoples Park in the Sky which is on the grounds of the never finished presidential mansion. There is also a recreation area with walking trails and zip line and other attractions called Picnic Grove.
