The Taytay Falls of Mount Banahaw

I'm back, it's been a year since I posted something in here. I didn't stop travelling though, I got to see some places in the last few months. I just didn't have enough time to share what I saw. But I am very much willing to share it here, especially those that are not frequently visited by many.

Just yesterday, we came from Majayjay, Laguna. Before we left for Manila, we visited Taytay Falls in Barangay Gagalot. It's my second time going there, but what is amazingly interesting this time is we had a tour guide -- who voluntarily guided us on our way to the falls without really expecting something from us. And he stayed with us while we're there. I just don't know where he went when it's time to leave, maybe he heard us talking about him -- on why he's there with us.... :)

Anyway, I've been to other falls in Aurora province, in other places. But I think the waters in Taytay Falls are much colder that I couldn't stand the icy cold water when I tried to join my colleagues already dipping in it.

Another amazing fact is its clear flowing water, which is so cool and refreshing. The falls is part of Mount Banahaw and since some people have been there, it's open for camping, with just a minimal environmental fee of Php 20.

Next time, if I will have a chance to visit the place, I will really try to dip in it. :)
