A Glimpse of Calinawan Cave There’s something magical about escaping the busy streets of the metro and finding yourself surrounded by nature—and that’s exactly what my fiancée and I experienced when we visited Calinawan Cave in Tanay, Rizal. Nestled in the lush greenery of Tanay, this cave offers not just a thrilling adventure but also a peaceful retreat into nature’s raw beauty.

April might be the hottest month here in the Philippines! Baguio might surely hit the spot! During summertime, specifically during April, temperature hits roughly around 16-26 degrees Celsius. If you’re staying around the Metro like me with 24 to whooping 36 degrees Celsius, (though it feels like hotter than that) you gotta leave heading up north to enjoy a much cooler place 😉  For some reason, Baguio might not be the ideal place during summer. As it is the summer capital of the Philippines, a lot might have planned to spend their long-waited vacation there. You should expect a heavy flow of traffic both for people and cars. So, let’s try to explore farther north, let’s visit Sagada 😉 Sagada is nestled in a valley at the up...
