What’s the fuss about Tagaytay Highlands

See Tagaytay in a new light in The Highlands. Tagaytay Highlands is an exclusive country club located fifty five kilometers away from Manila. Tagaytay is the choice weekend getaway among tourists and locals alike because of its cool climate,  nice view of Taal Lake and Taal Volcano in Batangas, and proximity to Manila (just 1 and a half hours away). Because of this, it is no wonder that Tagaytay is starting to get crowded.   

Where better to enjoy the cool climate of the Tagaytay Ridges, than in a scenice and peaceful place that is The Tagaytay Highlands. As I said earlier, it is an exclusive club. (read: membership only access country club). Hence, you should either go there with a member, bring with you an invitation from one, or pretend to be interested in acquiring a share there. So, what's the fuss about the place? I'll let the pictures speak for themselves.
