Villa Escudero is a resort and plantation somewhere in Laguna,Philippines,one of the prime tourist destinations of the locals and foreign visitors of the country.It was my husband's first trip to Philippines and I know how much he like to drive around the country so we let him be our driver to experience the Phlippine traffic. Hubby,me and my eldest son visited the place in one of our road trips.The place is so cool and the air is fresh because of the surrounding trees and lake.
The museum is inside the resort where you can see religious collections ,costume,coins,household furnitures,weaponry,images and other antique stuff from the Spanish era.My husband loves antique and a coin collector so he was really amused of the wide collections inside.I was not able to take pictures because camera's are not allowed inside.
I really like the still water of the lake. The bamboo raft is an added attraction for visitors who wants to cross the lake using hands as paddle.
If you want to stay overnight or a longer vacation ,this is one of the accommodations they offer.We went to the place on the way back home to San Pedro ,Laguna which is only an hour drive so we did not stay for overnight.
nice shot!

been here twice but only for day tour. overnight rate is too steep for me, parang hindi sulit. i just hope they will no longer increase their rates, P1500 for day tour.
ReplyDeleteI wanna come here since I have never been to Villa Escudero. Ang lupet ng christmas tree sa lake. I love it.
ReplyDeletethanks for this
again, another addition to my to-do list this year, if not the next.
ReplyDeleteDid you had lunch by the falls while being serenaded by the staff?
ReplyDeleteVilla Escudero is so cool!

ReplyDeleteBeautiful place. Beautiful pictures. Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteit's always one of our getaway options but we still haven't been there. accessibility is a concern. although as they say, great places are really hard to find... i think it deserves of a visit from us talaga. i like lake sceneries, very calm, tranquil and relaxed
ReplyDeleteI've heard so much about Villa Escudero. Kaso all I knew about it is that it's expensive :( Pero ang ganda nga! Worth it ba ang stay dun?
