May of this year, 2019, is when we visited the Kaliraya Surf Kamp. Reason for this is that I wanted the kids to experience camping outdoors overnight. Many times they've tried camping in our house and I want them to feel what it's like sleeping under the trees and stars. This place is perfect if you want to have a quiet and peaceful time, and totally disconnect from the busy world outside. There is no electricity here. At night, there are only solar lights and the stars. :) Fees (as of May 2019) Entrance Fee: 250 per person Tent fee: 200 small tent / 300 pesos medium tent Car parking fee: 200 pesos per night Bonfire: 400 pesos Kayak: 400 per hour Things to note: - place is waze-able - reservation is a must. Contact them thru their facebook (just sent them a message like what we did) or their cellphone number (also found in their facebook account) - pitch at the left side where there are more trees - it gets chilly at night - careful with the big ants - bring o...

To maximize our Laguna trip, we decided to visit Taytay falls in the morning, before proceeding to Costales Nature Farms. It would be my kid's first time to see falls.

We reached the gate and parked our vehicle under a tree. Parking lot is spacious and there are stalls selling fruits and vegetables. Another store sells grilled foods. There are rooms for rent also.

I was in a Travel Mart in SMX, MOA this September 2016 when I bumped into Costales Nature Farm booth. With photos of their farm and lettuce as their backdrop, I got curious. I approached the lady there and asked what's in the place? I was told about their different packages and one of which is their Bed and Breakfast package. She said, this includes overnight accommodation in a bahay kubo (nipa hut) in the middle of the farm, with no television, no radio, no airconditioning, no WIFI. Package also includes guided farm tour, video presentation and unlimited vegetable snacks with drinks. I am most interested in the farm tour. Seeing photos of their guests planting, feeding chickens, rabbits and pigs.. I got really really excited!!! Added to that is that my mom loves planting and so I thought, this could be our perfect family weekend relaxation getaway!
