The Municipality of Balete in Batangas is a warm hug to those who long to veer away from the troubles of the city.

Bike in and around the place and feel the gentle hills beneath, observe a little bit more and take-in the slow, relaxing cadence of suburban life. 

Find yourself in a handful of recreational resorts and be overwhelmed not only by the amenities but also by its serene backdrop--- Lake Taal.

Witness the crimson sun set as it hides itself behind the famous Taal Volcano, munch on a healthy serving of Sumang Dapa paired with a steaming cup of Barako, and you'd have one of the most comforting afternoons of your life.
