With
an altitude of 2,250 feet above sea level, Tagaytay
City enjoys a cool climate all year round.
This
city perched on a ridge is located in the province of
Cavite, some 56 kilometers south of Manila. It overlooks
Manila Bay on the north, Taal Lake and Taal Volcano
on the south, Laguna Bay on the east and the China Sea
on the west. The city is linked to the Metropolitan
Manila and the province of Batangas by the Aguinaldo
Highway.
Among
its attractions is the Tagaytay Picnic Grove
where one can get an unobstructed view of Taal Volcano,
which lies within a lake. Taal Volcano, which rises
406 meters from the lake, is reputedly the world's smallest
volcano.
Taal
Lake itself is an immense body of water formed when
the old crater collapsed and the walls of the larger
volcano caved in and sank.
A
visit to the Volcano Island can be arranged through
the Philippine Institute of Volcanology and Seismology
in Quezon City which maintains a monitoring station
on the island.
For
visiting tourists, support facilities are readily available
in this idyllic city. Tagaytay is the "sister"
city of Las Vegas and Nevada, U.S.A; Tainan City, Taiwan;
and Bankstown City, New South Wales, Australia.
