A Peek at the La Mesa Eco Park

Hanging out at Ecopark
November 16, 2008

This isn't my first time to get inside La Mesa Eco Park. I've been here a couple of times already but didn't had the chance to fully enjoy and appreciate the place since those were taping days. Meaning "ngaragan days", and that most of the times we're shooting scenes during the night when there were no available lights around, just the lights coming from the company's obvan generator.


Well, fortunately this time, I'm back with my family and close relatives...and it is morning! Yehey! Got the rest the day to tour around and grab as many pictures as possible.

 
Shell Flower Terraces
This spot is one of many TV shows favorite in La Mesa Eco Park. Aside the vibrant colours of the auroras, the stunning landscape view and the clear blue sky, this area is worth a thousand shots.
(This is also the area where Sarah Geronimo first performed her famous rain dance in the movie "A Very Special Love" along with Loydi)
 ready for a long walk? Why not challenge yourself and get to see the "price" at the end of this stairs.



We went there to have a picnic. The park has five hectares of picnic spots with grilling facilities underneath a forest of varied trees.

 

Fishing Wharf
 

Petron Fitness Trail
The park is not just conducive for relaxation but also for some early morning workout. Warm up your bodies for a bike or jog under the shades of trees and try the 17 exercise stations for free.

Want more adventure? Then try wall climbing!

Superferry boating Lagoon and Pavilion 
For P100 per boat with a maximum capacity of 4, have fun paddling with your loved ones for 30 minute boat ride. We went crazy in maneuvering our boat, no one knew the right way to paddle that we just went circling one area for a couple of minutes. Good thing we manage to roam around after a short struggle on which direction to take. Nevertheless, we really did enjoy the ride. Plus the view of the sunset was a good way to end that day. The park operates 8-5pm daily.
 Here's a video of our boat struggle. Enjoy!

Pagsanjan Falls: The Php150 Challenge

By

I have lived in Laguna for 19 years but it was only this June 2012 was I able to visit the famous Laguna tourist spot, the Pagsanjan Falls. As much as I enjoyed seeing the falls, the journey, however, was much more memorable than the actual falls itself as we had to endure a 45 minute trek, rappel on a 90 degrees enclosed vertical metal ladder and walk past steep staircases - yeah, this is what you get when availing the cheapest Pagsanjan package . The group was extremely excited when I told them that I included Pagsanjan Falls in the itinerary - a plan that I was forced had to put together within 2 hours. From Villa Sylvia Resort , we hopped from one jeep to another until we reached Pagsanjan Aresi Complex. Asking for directions initially from the locals was a breeze but finding our way to Pueblo El Salvador (the jump off point) proved to be a challenge since all the locals we asked knew only of the usual Php1,250 route, doesn't know where Pueblo El Salvador is or what it...

2Go: The New Way to Travel to Boracay

By

Last year should have been my first Boracay trip and my first ever Visayas destination. But then it coincided with the  Malaysia trip so I had no choice but to cancel Boracay. We all know that flying from Manila to Caticlan has proven to be quite expensive and Piso Fare promos can be daunting to book especially if we are a big family plus the scheduling date is also tricky. But when I learned about 2Go (yes, the famous courier service) sailing from Batangas to Caticlan at a very affordable price, I pitched the idea to my parents.  2Go Ship docked at Caticlan Port It took quite some convincing before they finally said yes to the idea that we travel by sea to reach Boracay. They probably pictured a crazy, crowded and noisy pier scenario. Well, I can't blame them since those were also my first ship experiences when I traveled from Manila to General Santos many years back. Most importantly, we'll also be traveling with my sister with special needs and her comfort shou...

Boracay: Itinerary, Expenses and Tips

By

Boracay may seem to be an expensive destination. But here's one thing I realized, like many of Philippines finest tourist spots, it can be done on a budget, especially if all you want is to simply enjoy the waters. Afterall, Boracay is really about the powdery sand and the crystal clear waters. 5 members of the family was able to enjoy Boracay in less than Php30,000 (all in!) Feel free to copy our itinerary ^_^
