What To Expect

Villa Escudero

Located approximately 2.5 hours south of Manila is the quaint and historic Villa Escudero. Hidden amidst coconut palms, the villa is reminiscent of old plantation life. The Villa Escudero resort is nestled deeply into its placid natural surroundings, offering breathtaking views of the Philippine countryside year round. One of the major highlights of the tour is a family museum of archaeological artifacts and private collections of antique relics from periods ranging from Pre-History, Spanish colonial times and World War II. Local folks will serenade you on board water buffalo-drawn carts that transport you going to a man-made waterfall that provides hydroelectric power to the plantation. Lunch is served at the foot of the falls on tables set right on top of the gently flowing water. Their waterfall restaurant sits at the foot of the Labasin Falls where guests can enjoy local cuisine at handmade bamboo tables while clear spring water runs over their feet. The falls are so people friendly, guests can even lie against the rushing water covered wall for quick massage or post-lunch rinse off. This is one resort where no shirt and no shoes are no problem.

❤️ The overall experience was made great by our lovely guide Joanna and driver Malone, it’s a long day from Manila if you’re thinking about it but our guides made it very easy and relaxing. The experience involves an amazing plantation with Spanish architecture, museum (full of weird and wonderful period pieces), ride on a cart driven by a water buffalo and a great buffet lunch with your feet in the cool relaxing water from a hydroelectric damn. Yes touristy but still a good day trip to see something different if you’re in Manila. We have had multiple trips with yolo travel now and would definitely recommend the company as we have had very good experiences both times. Don’t expect the museum to be a world class one, it’s a dusty collection of all kinds of bits and pieces but the inclusion of this down not taint the whole day experience, just take it in and enjoy the quirkiness.
A true Filipino experience.

My wife and her sister went on this tour. They are from the Philippines, but had a marvelous time watching the dancing/singing, riding the rafts, walking in the waterfall, and taking the cariiboa cart ride. A very successful day, even for folks going back to their homeland.
