The last time I visited Tagaytay was 13 years ago when I was still working in Quezon City. We had a company outing then and we went to Batangas for swimming. We stopped by Tagaytay and watched the majestic view of Tagaytay on the way to Batangas. It was a spectacular experience, having seen the smallest volcano in the world, Taal Volcano at Taal Lake.Upong knowing I was gonna come to the Philippines for my passport renewal, I thought of planning on a short Tagaytay trip... But because of the complications with my passport renewal, I decided not to go.
Anyways, here's a bit of information (source: www.tagaytay.com) about Tagaytay, Taal Volcano, and Taal Lake:
Taal volcanol is reputed to be the world's smallest and yet most active of volcanoes. Thirty three eruptions have been recorded since 1572 at Taal, mostly on Volcano Island. The impacts of these eruptions were largely confined to the intracaldera area.
