1. Mt. Romelo
Mt. Romelo and the Buruwisan falls are one of the top tourist spots in Laguna. Hiking to Romelo's campsite, river and waterfalls is always challenging because the trail is usually covered with mud since it is being used by the locals, with their horses and carabaos to transport goods to the low-lying areas. The trail is covered with hardwood trees, coconuts and fruit-bearing trees that create a cool ambiance. The water on the river and waterfalls is crystal clear and totally refreshing. If you're looking for extreme, some organizers set up ropes for wall climbing and canyoneering. READ: MOUNT ROMELO
