Amansinaya Mountain Resort Laurel Batangas

Its been a rough week for me, totally an emotionally toxic week it has been (better way to describe it). I was thinking of giving myself a break, something different from the usual malling or dining out. Good thing a co nurse i met during a medical mission text me if i want to purchase her amansinaya adventure Ensogo Voucher.http://everythinginbudget.blogspot.com/2011/10/amansinaya-mountain-56-off-daytour.html
 I didnt reply right away coz i need to form my travel buddies first hehehe. So to make the long intro short, Off to amansinaya we go! 

                                           my travel buddies (jp, onyx a.k.a phelps, me, gl, nhan)


 Its an almost 3 hours trip from dasma cavite we took a van to tanauan (105 pesos)  eto yung bayaran sa terminal hahaha ang bangis eh! Nice one GL!


 then from tanauan a tricycle ride to talisay terminal from talisay terminal we ride a jeepney for 50 pesos but they offered to drive us in front of amansinaya if we double our fare, and since we're excited and super hungry its a deal na manong!

 We enjoyed the view and was astonished by the beautiful scenery specially taal, ive never seen it that close. Manong driver drove us up to the patio and gave us his phone number in case we nid a ride home. We cant help but get excited as we passed by the activity areas, theres the zipline, the mudslide, the giant soccerball (i love that ball hahaha) and the rest of the  obstacle course. 




 We were entertained by the staff and suggested that we should do the activities in the camp first before eating lunch and go trekking. Since madali kami kausap at excited sumunod naman kami hahaha. We did basically everything.







now its time for lunch hehehe
the menu sent via email                                         
patio Bilao
we ordered kare kare and patio bilao

After the oh so heavy lunch we were informed that the 2nd trek would start at 1 PM. With heavy stomach we headed to the shuttle and they dropped us to the starting point. A guide was assigned to led us to the whole rainforest but unfortunately we were lost kakapicture hahaha! we're able naman to find the way though, we followed the footprints chos! Plus mind you! naging extra challenge pa sa amin ang biglang pag ulan, amazing race ang dating pero ubod ng memorable at saya!
 
It was challenging yes for us specially kasi d kami handa physically hahaha pero worth it pag nakita mo na ang falls, good thing kasama namin ang tropang boys para alalayan kami sa matatarik, madulas at mababatong daan na mala takeshi's castle. Bago marating ang falls u have to cross 5 rivers... Very fun activity and worth the value for your money.  Will i recommend it to friends? Definitely! Will i ever go back here? Of course! Though i want to try something else like white water rafting in Cagayan De Oro :-)
