Most of Philippine islands and islets have been labeled with distinctive word: paradise. And if your definition of paradise includes white, gray sand beaches with clear blue-green water, and most of all uncrowded - the town of cantilan should be number one on your list.

10. For a hike with a pleasant end, visit 3 falls in Sta. Maria, laguna. This beautiful waterfalls swirls and twirls through lush greenery surroundings with a shallow catch basin where you can take a swim. The hike to the falls is relatively easy and straighforward, you will run into several small and medium size falls, great rock formations and even calm stream for a quick dip in the cold water.

by air, land and sea

Be familiar with ways of getting to your destination.. by air, land and sea and how each mode of transport can be better than the other. Finding the best way to travel is perhaps one of the most confusing parts of planning your vacation, among other things there is the question of cost and comfort. So be prepared and take some time to plan. 

And with so many options to choose from, traveling around the Philippines is not a problem, since all roads to major cities and provinces are practically connected by land, air, or water. All one must do is just choose the best, fastest, safest and affordable way to travel. Enjoy.

Chasing Waterfalls Series : Fortune favors the brave at 3 Falls

Either you're in search for a weekend getaway or simply just want to have a taste of adventure because of long weekends, 3 falls in Barangay laurel, Sta. Maria, province of Laguna, is the place to go.

Sta maria is a little town about 3 hours from the metro.  Popular amongst locals, but it’s not as often visited by tourists. 

Arriving in Siniloan from Tanay , the first thing I did is to look for Sta maria's terminal. With a little information about the town, I and jackie brave the ride going to the falls. True enough, fortune favors the brave, and we did in fact find the 3 falls.

Arriving in Barangay Laurel, it is quite clear that it’s not a tourist town. 

For a hike with a pleasant end, visit 3 falls in Sta. Maria, laguna. This beautiful waterfalls swirls and twirls through lush greenery surroundings with a shallow catch basin where you can take a swim. The hike to the falls is relatively easy and straighforward, you will run into several small and medium size falls, great rock formations and even calm stream for a quick dip in the cold water.
