Crosswinds Tagaytay
About
Swiss Alps vibes, about two hours from Manila! Crosswinds is a 100-hectare alpine-style village by Brittany Corporation, wrapped in more than 35,000 pine trees, so the air feels cooler and smells like a real forest. Stroll the pine-lined lanes, snap photos of the colorful Swiss-style chalets, then warm up with coffee and pastries at the cafes inside. Come late afternoon when the fog rolls in, and in the holiday season the Trail of Lights turns the forest into a glowing walk. Entry is per car and most of it comes back as a food voucher, so plan to eat here and make a slow, cozy date out of it!
Go before 2 PM today. Rain likely after.
