A HIDDEN PARADISE IN SAN PABLO, LAGUNA
You can reach this paradise in less than 3 hours from Manila. Once you arrived in Brgy. Sto Angel, some of the locals will guide you along the way. You'll need to trek for about 15 minutes to reach the registration area, this is where you will wait for the food, change clothes and get ready for the bamboo raft experience. The scenery was so peaceful and relaxing, you'll forget all your problems once in awhile. I'm quite amazed actually.
WHAT TO DO IN PANDIN LAKE?
BAMBOO RAFT EXPERIENCE - You will ride the bamboo raft and be brought from one end to another as part of the tour.
BAMBOO RAFT DINING EXPERIENCE - it's always great to have lunch outside. So here in pandin lake, the food is included in the package. The food has grilled tilapia, rice, tortang dulong, banana, ensaladang talbos and bottle water
SWIM IN THE LAKE - you can swim in the lake as long as you put lifevest for safety but if you're a good swimmer no need to wear lifevest.
TREK TO YAMBO LAKE - there is a way to Yambo Lake and it's just 5mins trek. No swimming is allowed. You'll just take pictures of the scenery and enjoy the twin lake of pandin.
SWING IN A TREE BRANCH - so this is the main highlight of the Pandin Lake, the instagrammable swing made out of wood + tire. Perfect for a instagram worthy shot.
If you don’t want to get wet, you can just actually enjoy your company in the raft and chill.
