Villa Sofia Private Resort in Calamba Tops GMA's Ang Pinaka Patok na Family Resorts

Since it is still summer here in the Philippines and city dwellers love spending day trips and overnights on hundreds of Laguna's resorts, might as well share with you an interesting list compiled by GMA's tv show, Ang Pinaka.

Laguna being Philippine's 'resort capital' is a favorite destination during summer months. From public to private pools, from hot springs to cold springs, there's always something good to experience when in Laguna. However, summer crowd can get crazy. Swimming in pools along with tens or hundreds of people isn't much a relaxing thing to do. That is why a lot of group outings prefer the comfort of renting out private resorts.

Take a look at Villa Sofia, a private resort in Calamba that bagged the No. 1 spot for the said show's Top 10 Ang Pinaka Patok na Family Resorts. Let's find out why...

Natural Cold Spring From Mt. Banahaw

Laguna is synonymous to numerous hot springs, most of which can be found in the provinces of Pansol, Calamba and Los Baños geographically located at the foot of Mt. Makiling, the source of the therapeutic water heat. On the other side of Laguna, however, lies Mt. Banahaw, the source of the refreshingly cold mountain water. The provinces of Nagcarlan, Majayjay, Liliw and Pagsanjan cradles a number of natural cold springs that are a welcoming treat to Philippine's summer heat.

Tourist Spot: Pagsanjan Falls

 

Pagsanjan Falls

The province of Pagsanjan is known for its famous shooting the rapids adventure to reach the famed Pagsanjan Falls. But only a few knows of the other way and a cheaper alternative to also see the falls and that is through Cavinti's Vertical Trek which requires an easy version of rappelling. This route is a good alternative for those who are in budget and best for summer. Shooting the rapids is a good thrill during the rainy season.
