Full description

Villa Escudero is a historical plantation resort nestled in the scenic countryside of Quezon province, where you'll journey through the Philippines' colonial past while being surrounded by nature's beauty. Begin your adventure with a guided exploration of the plantation’s coconut and sugar cane fields, where you’ll hear about the history of these crops and their significance to the local economy. Learn about the agricultural practices that have sustained the region for centuries, with opportunities to interact with the locals and gain insight into their way of life.

After your plantation tour, enjoy a leisurely and unforgettable carabao cart ride. The gentle sway of the cart as it moves through the lush landscape offers the perfect chance to take in the stunning surroundings—an unspoiled view of palm-lined fields, vibrant flora, and towering trees. For those seeking a more active experience, you can try your hand at fishing in the tranquil lagoon or embark on a bamboo rafting adventure. Both activities offer a peaceful way to connect with nature while learning about local fishing methods and natural ecosystems.

The highlight of your visit is the famous Waterfall Restaurant. Set in a beautiful natural amphitheater, this dining experience is unlike any other. Feast on a traditional Filipino buffet served at bamboo tables placed in the cool, cascading waters of a picturesque waterfall. As you enjoy the delicious local dishes, you'll be serenaded by live music and traditional folk dances that bring the rich Filipino culture to life.

After lunch, take time to relax and unwind. You can swim in the refreshing waterfall pool or simply enjoy the scenic surroundings. The charming cottages, designed in traditional Filipino style, offer a perfect retreat where you can rest or explore more of the grounds.

Whether you're a history enthusiast, nature lover, or cultural explorer, Villa Escudero provides an immersive, unforgettable experience that captures the essence of the Philippines' past and present. It’s the perfect escape for anyone looking to discover the timeless beauty of the country.

Note: All tours are on an open booking status, meaning you may be joined by other guests during your visit. If you prefer a private tour, there is an additional fee of 5000 pesos for a private booking.
