Right
amid the sun, sand, sea, and the lush Mount Daguldol, Acuaverde Beach Resort in Laiya, Batangas offers a perfect weekend of nature
escapades. Only about 2.5 hours' drive from Metro Manila, the long
stretch of white sand in San Juan is just the place for a day tour
for city dwellers in need of immediate distraction and relaxation.
Here are but a few of the activities in Laiya that will prove to be a
fun inclusion in just about any itinerary.
1.
Camping at the beach
Ever
thought of being lulled to sleep by the soothing sound of the waves
as they caress the shore? How about having a beach barbecue and
sleeping under the stars? Imagine no more because the beaches in
Laiya have plenty of spots that cater to a perfect night out with
nature and just the most essential of human comforts. Welcome the sun
as it makes its ascent from the sea and enjoy a whole day of lazing
in the beach, bathing in the cool water, and eating a stick of
grill-fresh, home-style barbecue. Or a slice of red velvet cake and a
cup of hot tea — it's all up to you.

Mountain climbing for beginners
Mount
Daguldol is a popular venture for beginner mountaineers. For security
and safety, all climbers are required to have a local guide who will
lead them along the trail. A day trip is 5-hour trek that includes
pit stops and restroom breaks at the communities that you will pass
by on your way to the top. Once you've reached the summit, you will
find yourself rewarded with a 360-degree view of the horizon and the
lush slopes of the mountain, and the perfect backdrops for jump
shots. After you've come down from this natural high, you can head
directly to the beach for a refreshing wind down.
3.
Snorkeling
Take
a dip into the cold water and prepare to acquaint yourself with
fishes of different kinds. You can easily see pufferfish, striped
catfish, sea anemones and clownfish, and coral hawkfish. Feel free to
invite the sea critters with a bit of bread. Don't worry about
bringing a submersible camera since the water is clear enough that
you can take pictures of the reef without getting yourself wet.
So
are you itching for a quick break from the city? Just remember that a
few hours' drive is all it takes to say yes to the exciting
activities awaiting for you at Acuaverde Beach Resort in Laiya, San Juan, Batangas.
