September 15, 2019; It was a cool Sunday afternoon when we decided to have a quick road trip to Barangay Little Baguio in Laguna. Driving along the winding roads of the Marilaque Highway is a stress reliever for me. Since it was already mid afternoon, the road was free of motorcycle riding groups out on a road trip, east bound. Upon reaching the Sampaloc Tanay Junction we grabbed some banana que and kamote fries for snacks. Weather was erratic due to the recent typhoons we recently had. At km 80, the road ahead turned to zero visibility caused by the thick clouds covering the Sierra Madre mountain ranges. I started to drive with caution and turned on my headlight to avoid being hit by incoming traffic. Since this is a road less traveled, incoming traffic was very few to almost none. When we finally reached km 90 Eco Park, we were surprised with all the changes and development they had in the area. But the ambiance and cool weather was still the same. No wonder they named this place little Baguio, it's cool weather, pine trees and mountain ranges view makes one feel that you are in Baguio. Unfortunately, we cannot enjoy the view due to the thick fog but the kids loved and enjoyed this scenery.
The Eco Park offers a lot of activities from camping, hiking, swimming in their cool spring waters and other outdoor activities. They also have a restaurant for travelers like us. We tried their famous bulalo and tapsilog which we all loved.
It was another experience worth remembering for my family.
