Taytay Falls, Laguna Travel Guide

Taytay Falls, Majayjay, Laguna, Philippines — Freezing.
That’s how I would describe the water in Taytay Falls. Even before I started traveling, my sister already told me about this place when she visited it with her friends. When I first set foot in this waterfall, I knew what she meant when she said that the water here is super cold. It actually felt like I was swimming in one of Cordillera’s waterfalls.
