Banahaw and Mt. San Cristobal, two mountains with lots of mystical legends attached to them. The lake is feet deep and swimming is not allowed for safety reasons.

One of the newer attractions at Villa Escudero are their three swimming pools, including an infinity pool and an adult only pool located above with jacuzzi tubs.

Taking photos and videos is not allowed inside the museum. Before our visit to the museum, we had a rare chance to visit the private mansion of Don Conrado Escudero who amiably toured us around himself. His home offered a peek back to the colonial era and old rich grandeur.

I think we all got a sensory overload from the vast collections filling every available space. I was amazed at the number of priceless artifacts here including a solid marble table from Carara, Italy. The highlight of day tour visits in kamayan-style buffet dining beside Labasin Waterfalls Restaurant.

But the experience is more about enjoying nature and the refreshing feeling of soaking your feet in water while eating rather than the food.
