Our Travel
How did we end up at Torres Farm?
I wanted to have an out-of-town trip at the beginning of the year and my original plan was to visit Batangas, my sister wanted a nearest destination and suggested Torres Farm after she saw pictures of the resort in Facebook.
We left the Parañaque Terminal at 9:30 in the morning on board a non-aircon baby bus since aircon buses still have no clear schedule of departure. And we needed to leave early since we were only taking a day trip.
At 11:30, we reached the crossroad of Naic, Cavite. We dropped by at Jollibee for our quick lunch. At near 12:00 noon, we left Naic crossroad and hired a tricycle for Torres Farm and Resort. Ten minutes later, we arrived at the resort.
We had no advance reservation. The resort however accepts walk-in guests. Upon entering the gate, the smiling lady guard gave as a note and directed us to their tourism office, a long walk from the gate, to pay for appropriate fees.
But tricycle drivers are allowed to enter. So we requested manong driver to bring us to the tourism office. He did, and asked us to have an additional Php5.00 each for our fare.
The resort has no restaurant but has food stalls inside. We brought snacks and bottled water but did not pay for corkage. They did not ask us either.
Our Experience
It was awesome. We really had fun. The environment is so breezy and the place is so spacious, so even if it was already noon time when we arrived under the sweltering heat of the sun, we still had a good time roaming around, taking photos.
