feet above sea-level.
Tagaytay lies halfway to Puerto Galera with a fascinating and beautiful
scenery along the way.Taal Volcano, one of the worlds smallest volcanos,
is located at the center of a lake within an old crater. From Tagaytay

a small outrigger boat. Upon arrival on the island volcano, you
