Popularly known as Majayjay Falls and lesser known as Imelda Falls, Taytay Falls as it is officially called is one of the many waterfalls located in the province of Laguna.

Located on the 4th class municipality of Majayjay, Taytay Falls is a popular destination among local folks and in recent years even people from far off places. Picnics and overnight camping are the usual activities here besides the obvious dunking in the cold water of its moderately deep catchpool.

After quite a long hiatus, my officemates and I finally hit the road again. Tired of seeing the cube farm day in and day out, we decided swimming on freezing cold waters under a waterfall isn’t such a bad idea.

Leaves were filed and restdays swapped, a few backed out but it didn’t stop new faces from joining the trip.

So come a cold Saturday dawn later, we were all queued up on HM Transport’s station in Cubao, boarding their coach to Sta. Cruz, Laguna. Their buses looked pretty good and it cost us Php150.00 for the fare. Buses leave the station starting 4am and every 30minutes afterwards.
