Taal Volcanoe Taal Volcano is the second most active volcano in the Philippines. According to a source, it has 33 recorded eruptions and was formed by a single eruption prehistorically between 140,000 and 5,380 BP (taken from Wikipedia). It is an island in the middle of a lake called Taal and is located wholly in the province of Batangas, the northern half of it is under the jurisdiction of Brgy. Talisay whereas the southern part of it to San Nicolas. It is also considered as one of the most attractive view in the Philippines. A picturesque view of Taal Volcanoe from Skyranch, Tagaytay. Enough with the history. It was Saturday morning when we decided to escape the busy streets of Manila and visit Tagaytay. A city known for its cooler climate and outstanding scenery. Going there is much more easier than downloading a series of Game of Thrones, it will only take you 2-3 hours or a 55 km bus ride from Cubao terminal (or a much lesser travel time using your private car)
