TATLONG KRUS SA PAETE, LAGUNA

Ang Paete Laguna ay sikat sa paguukat

ng Kahoy, lansones , magagandang
tanawin at mababait na mamamayan,
isang halimbawa nito ay ang nasabing
Lakaran namin, dahil lahat kami sa grupo
ay "First timer" lang sa Paete, sa tuwing
kami ay nagtatanong kung papaano puntahan
ang pakay na mga lugar, lahat sila ay langing
nakangiti at nagaalok pa minsan na kami'y
kanilang samahan.

Mt. Kalisungan In Calauan, Laguna is one of the smaller mountains in the

Southern Tagalog region, but is nonetheless prominent because in many
points of view, it is one of the mountains that flank the Banahaw
Trilogy.
 BUKAL FALLS
Saan makakarating ang 500 Pesos mo? (wala pang pagkain
ah)Dito sa malamig ang nagyeyelo nakakanginig sa buto sa
lamig na Bukal Falls sa Brgy. Bukal, Majayjay , Laguna.
Bago ka makarating sa Falls kailangan mo muna mag trek
papunta dito ng mga 1hour or 45 minutes.Babala po, habang
palapit ng palapit sa falls patarik na ng patarik ang lalakaran
pero sementado naman. MATARIK lang talaga patibayan na
lang ng tuhod.

Pwede magdala ng pagkain pero sumunod lang sa "LEAVE NO TRACE" Policy. Mas masarap magdala ng
Lambanog dito para uminit katawan mo hehehe..

you should be early when going there, I suggest leave here at Manila at 5:30am. If you have time you
can visit Majayjay,Church and eat there also at the town.

If leaving at Majayjay. Sta.Cruz routed jeep's last ride is 6:30PM so be punctual or if you opt to stay for a

 The underground river and cave complex is
dicovered by Mr. Gardo Sanchez, a local
resident and farmer. According to Kuya
Bunso, one of the tour guides at the caves
complex, Mang Gardo accidentally
discovered the opening of the cave when
he was collecting pieces of wood for
charcoal making. Then, on March 22, 2011,
the municipality of Cavinti initiated an
exploration of the caves complex. Finally, on March 30, 2013, they opened it to the
public as a prime ecotourism destination.

BUMBUNGAN ECO PARK CAVINTI LAGUNA -Past the

waterfalls and further upriver near the poblacion (town
center) of Cavinti is a small park called the Bumbungan Eco-
Park, located in Brgy. Tibatib. The Bumbungan was dammed
at this section where the top of the spillway also served as a
wet bridge on the Lumban-Caliraya-Cavinti Road. After an
adjacent bridge was constructed, the dam and adjacent land
became the Eco-Park with huts and bathroom facilities for picnickers. Bumbungan Eco-Park offers a
great view from the bridge in Cavinti. Entrance fee is only 10 pesos per person. A picnic hut can be
rented for 150 pesos. Before entering the park, guests should have a visitors entry permit that can be
applied and paid for in Cavinti Municipal Hall during weekdays or in Bumbungan Eco-Park on weekends.
MURA NA SULIT PA!
 JAPANESE GARDEN Nakakatuwa naman at merong
Japanese Garden sa Pilipinas. Japanese garden literally
translated in Tagalog /Filipino as Harding Hapon o Hardin
ng mga Hapon. Unang punta ko pang dito kasama ang
estudyante ko mula sa Germany. Aba ang layo pala, sa
dulo ng Laguna. Sabado pa naman ang lakad namin kaya
inabot ng halos bente oras ang biyahe sa layo at trapik kasi
galing pa kami ng Alabang.

Mula Alabang tinahak namin ang daan ng SLEX papasok ng Laguna na di namain akalain
abutin ng kalahating oras sa sobrang trapik.

Bilang tipikal na
Pilipina akala ko
makulay na hardin ang
aabutan namin kasi
inakyat pa namin ang
matarik na bundok
para lang marating ito.
Puro luntian na mga
iilang puno ang meron dito. Konting upuan na semento o bench pero
mas masarap umupo sa malambot na lupa at damo. semento na
hagdan paakyat.

Sayang hindi ko nabilang kung ilang steps meron dito. Masarap maglakad lalo na kung hindi ka nakapag
exercise. Sariwa ang malamig na hangin dito kaya ok magpalit ng oxygen kapag sa lungsod ka nakatira.
Ang tahimik na lugar ay nakakatanggal ng stress at pagod. Sana malapit lang ito sa Cavite . Nature lover
ako kaya agad ko nagustuhan ang lugar na ito. Mas maganda sana kung merong kainan o bahay-kubo
kaya lang wala e. OK dito magcamping pero kailangan magdala ng tent kasi walang
matutuluyan.tulay.Meron pang maikling tulay na tatawiran paakyat sa mababang bundok. Merong
mababaw na tubig sa sapa nito, Nakakatuwa naman na meron ding Japanese garden sa Pilipinas. Ang
mga Hapon ay naging bahagi na ng Kasaysayan ng Pilipinas. Namalagi sila dito ng ilang taon lamang . Sila
ang nagturo sa mga Pilipino na mag -alaga ng mga itik at magtanim ng ilang mga prutas at gulay. Ang
ilang mga Pilipino ay meron pang mga ninuno ng Hapon kaya ang ilan ay may dugong Hapon pa din.
Kung ang mga Hapon noon ay kinatatakutan ng mga Pilipino dahil sa sila ay mamamatay -tao , ngayon ,
isa sila sa mga dayuhan na nagugustuhan ng mga Pilipina. Ayoko namang isipin na kinalimutan na ng
mga bagong henerasyon ang mga pasakit na dulot ng mga ninuno nito sa lahing Pinoy.
