Tagaytay holds a special place in my heart. It is my family's favorite tourist destination in the south because it is only an hour away from home and there is endless attractions to see and things to do. Moreover, the weather is cooler especially during BER months. Going to Tagaytay is easy peasy. From the north, you can take a bus going to Nasugbu, Batangas and ask the driver to drop you off in Tagaytay.

Puzzle Mansion is fast becoming a popular tourist spot in Tagaytay. It is known as the museum with the biggest collection of a jigsaw puzzle in the whole world. It was way back in 2011 when the idea was created. You can find it at Lacuna residence in Tagaytay. The place is quite hard to spot but good thing they have put up signs so you won't get lost. The best time to go here is when the owner, Gina Lacuna, is at the museum so she can give you the tour herself. 

  • Sonya's Secret Garden

Are you up for some food adventure? Tagaytay offers a wide range of food choices from carinderia style to fine dining restaurants. One of the most favorite food item in Tagaytay that you should not miss trying is bulalo. There are many restaurants that offer it such as Diner's Bulalo, Green ATS, Josephine's, Mahogany Market, and RSM Lutong Bahay to name a few. 

You travel with the hope that something unexpected will happen. It has to do with enjoying being lost and figuring it out and the satisfaction. I always get a little disappointed when I know too well where I'm going, or when I've lived in a place so long that there's no chance I could possibly get lost."

  • Hike to Taal Volcano

If you are heading to Tagaytay, never miss the opportunity of hiking Taal volcano. You have to rent a boat which can cost a lot if you are going solo. It is best to book in advance and go there with a companion so you can split the bill. It is a 20 to a 30-minute boat ride to the island. You have to pay the entrance fee before hiking. Bring enough water as the temperature on the island can get hot and humid especially during the afternoon. 

  • Our Lady of Manaoag, Tierra de Maria
