A weekend getaway in Laguna.
February 20, 2016We visited one of the famous falls in Laguna. The Taytay falls in Majayjay. We went on a weekend that's why it's a bit crowded. It was a little difficult to find a nice spot to go camping. Nevertheless, it was a good experience.
People often call it the Majayjay Falls, maybe because it's in Majayjay Laguna but actually its name is Taytay Falls. Its former name was The Imelda falls, named after the First lady of our late Pres. Ferdinand Marcos, Mrs. Imelda Marcos. She has financed the promotion of tourism of the place, that's why.

It was a 3-4 hours (+ traffic jams) drive from Las Piñas City. We arrived at around 11AM, got our registration and paid 20 pesos for the entrance fee. It's better to bring your own tent, for you not to rent one. Since souvenir shops close at 5 in the afternoon, we bought some before going to the falls. You can also buy food and drinks near the entrance gate.
Parking area.
 I was amazed on how they sliced them. It's really cool! (Not my photo)  You have to walk for 10-15 minutes from the entrance gate to the falls. (depending on how fast you do it)  On our way to the falls, you can see a lot of these The MINI falls, as I called it :) haha  Look! It was crowded, right? I recommend you to visit the place on a weekday, maybe there will be less campers  Our tent. Should I say, OUR bags' tent. HAHA We put all the valuables there. It wasn't a perfect spot to lie and relax because it's ROCKY. :D (literally)
I've never thought that it can also be fun to go on a trip with your friend's family. You get to know them well. They're all cool, really. We had a lot of crazy talks, jokes and all. I would never forget the "HIRIT" joke of my friend's brother.
Him: Anong malalim na tagalog ng chair?
Me: Salumpwet
Him: eh ng wheelchair?
Me: Salumpo (kala mo ah!)
Him: eh ng vinegar?
Me: hmmm.. Ano?
Him: Sa lumpia.
Me: LOL (benta sakin, serry haha)
Say hi to them
After setting the tent up. We decided to have our lunch before dipping to the cold water of Taytay falls. They prepared tuna sandwiches, fish, adobo, rice etc. Shout out to Dela Rea family, Thanks for the delicious food.
High school friends, Chuchay and Em
Eating on the rocks! Cool! #struggleisreal

A nice spot to take pictures
The hanging bridge
Me, looking for myself. Wut? #kbye
After a couple of hours, we decided to rinse and get off the place. They have shower rooms but some didn't have locks. Not perfect so, don't expect too much. You have to fall in line as well. Go change in your tents instead. A friendly advice. :)
Disclaimer: Since it was fresh water, I didn't shower. hihi
We had dinner at Isdaan Floating Restaurant, Calauan Laguna
They ordered, pinakbet, sinigang na hipon, chicken, rice etc.
I would never forget our Magic Kaldero. Unli rice it is. :)
Tacsiyapo Wall
(A Kapampangan word meaning, "shame on you" similar to the Tagalog, P.I.!.)
Another first. It was a nice experience though. :)
You have to shout your stress out before throwing crockery
I bought a plate that costs 30 pesos. It's a bit heavy and hard for me to break.
Since I failed on my first try, I did this twice. hihi
RATE: cups (PhP20), bowls (PhP30), plates (PhP30), pitchers (PhP100), vases or even a broken TV (PhP2,000)
If you're looking for a perfect place to have dinner or meal with friends and family, I would highly recommend this, Isdaan Floating Restaurant, Calauan Laguna. It has a nice & unique view, friendly staff, cool performances and good food. Let me share some of our photos.
