Due
to its close proximity to Metro Manila, the province of Batangas has been one
of the many must-visit places perfect for a quick weekend escapade. Here you'll
find centuries-old churches, delectable food scene, numerous mountains, locals
with a very strong accent, and a volcano within a lake.
But what truly makes Batangas stand out from rest
are the numerous pristine beaches namely Anilao, Laiya, Nasugbu, Tingloy, and
Calatagan. Imagine this – after just 2-3 hours travel time, you can already see
yourself splurging with serenity together with the great views of the ocean,
who wouldn’t want that?
Aside
from the above-mentioned places, there’s a municipality in Batangas also worthy
of your undivided attention. Considered to be a diver’s haven, Bauan, Batangas is now taking over the
spotlight and ready to show to its visitors the gems it hides. Since most of the barangays here are near the
coastal area, you’ll be surprised by how many wonderful beaches they have.
Although the sands here are not that powdery, there is something more here that
meets the eye!
Yes,
we know that new places do excite us, however, before you rush around and head
to Bauan, let us give you first some pointers on how to maximize your time
there.
How
to get there
FROM MANILA
Located
south of Manila, Bauan, Batangas is easily accessible via the South Luzon
Expressway wherein it’ll take you about 3-4 hours depending on the traffic. If
you're about to commute, take the bus from Cubao or LRT Buendia going to
Batangas Pier then take a jeep from Grand terminal to Bauan.
To
lessen your worries, why not let us take you there, right? Let our friendly
drivers drop you off you to Batangas with ease. Talk with us live on our website or chat us on our official Facebook page.
Diving and Snorkeling
If
there is one thing that Bauan, Batangas will never run out of, that is its rich
marine life. Beneath its clear waters are numerous species of fishes and
colorful coral beds that attract lots of tourists making it an excellent scuba
diving spot! Some even go here to have their diving certification! It'll surely save you money since you no
longer need to go too far to places such as El Nido and Coron, right?
Whether
you’re a novice or a seasoned diver, there will be professional scuba divers
that'll assist and provide you with necessary instructions before dropping
yourself into the water 'cause your safety is the primary priority
here...always!
Side Trip to Heritage
Town
Your
stroll around should start from its very center. The Basilica de San Martin de
Tours, considered as the biggest church in the Orient, is right at the heart of
Taal Park which is surrounded with cultural landmarks and numerous ancestral
houses – especially those were once home by Filipino heroes such as Don Felipe
Agoncillo and family.
Needless to say,
Bauan-Taal, Batangas is something from the off beaten track that'll surely
amaze you! Not only you'll have the great refreshed weekend here but you may also even
have a diving certificate. Exciting, isn't?
