Hidden Paradise 102




Villa Escudero a working coconut plantation founded in 1872. 800 hectares in area, the estate features a private museum and a resort. One of the famous place in Quezon Province. It is where Philippine culture and history comes to life. Warm and cheerful hospitality is the unique experience you can gain from this place.

To some who never been here, let me tour you in this place by showing some pictures taken from this place.

Floating lounge and river rafts on the lake.

Here you can go rafting for free using bamboo. Two people can accomodate one balsa. If you are used in rowing it is a really nice experience but if not, then you might have a pain afterwards from your back and shoulder for sure. If you're careless and you drop on the water, don't worry you still can live and go back to your family, coz they are providing life vest for you!..... but for sure, your friends might laugh on you for being.... heheheheh so be careful!



Nipa hut type cottages and pier at river's edge.



Lunch is served at dining tables uniquely set in a few inches of cool running water from Labasin falls. The experience of dining on delicious native cuisine, with the sparkling waterfalls as a background, plus clear spring water running around your feet is enjoyable and memorable.
