this is more than a volcano. the boat ride across the lake. the horse back rides! the slippery slopes! it was mixed emotions! but i so love it! Good thing I've gone here with two best people! gab&renz
Taal Volcano is the world's smallest active volcano. A complex volcano system, it consists of Volcano Island inside Taal Lake within the Taal Caldera. Tagaytay Ridge is actually the rim of the crater.
One of the best wonder of the world! A lake within the volcano within a lake! You have to ride a horse to go there and please work comfortable shoes! Absolutely stunning scenic view!
Bring water, hat, face mask, sunnies, towel, small snack. The trekking is uphill and not that easy because you'll be walking the same path as the horses. Expect a dusty path with lots of poop.
If you are fit enough to hike, do not rent a horse to take you to the crater. Normal hiking time takes 45 minutes; 15-20 minutes when riding on a horse. Horse rent costs P500; plus other fees (P600)
Don't be surprised when your trail guide jumps on the horse with you. I had some kid's balls up my ass half the time, but I understood because it's a tough trail to walk the whole way.
