Things To Do in Batangas, Philippines
1. Explore Taal Volcano
This small but terrible volcano is one of the best places to visit in Batangas. Not only because of its scenic view, but the activities that would bring you closer to the mountain. Here, you can go horseback riding, boating across the volcano island, and of course, climbing to the crater of the lake. Since it’s only 311 feet, it is not difficult to climb. This is also the reason why it’s known as the smallest active volcano in the world.
2. Visit the Caleruega Church

3. Hike Mt. Batulao
This inactive volcano in Batangas is actually one of the most popular hiking destinations in the Philippines. If you’re a beginner, this is the ideal mountain to start with your first mountain climb. In just 3 hours, you’ll be able to reach the summit and enjoy the amazing view.
