CULTURE AND RECREATION AT VILLA ESCUDERO

Bamboo Balsa. Is the origin of the modern-day kayak. Paddle your way accross the cool blue river flowing from the mountains. In it's stillness, you can hear the chirping of birds nesting on top of the coconut trees.

Have a glimpse of the historical dances of the Philippines centuries before the collonialism. Most of the native dances mimic the movements of nature: birds, wind, water, butterflies, etc. You'll also notice that for every important event in the life of a Filipino, there is always an appropriate type of dance to go with it. No wonder, Filipinos are among the happiest people in the world.

Guests get to have their authentic Filipino lunch by the river. Freshly grilled tilapia, karekare, dinuguan, and adobo are among the top favorites. Have a sweet ending with banana fritters and native jellies topped with freshly squeezed coconut milk.

Highten your lunch experience while your feet are soaked in a cool spring water flowing down Mount Banahaw.
