What is the best route to Tagaytay?

[yapoy86]

Was in Tagaytay again last Monday and I finally took Waze's suggestion to go down via Ligaya-Talisay. I didn't want to get stuck again on the Sta Rosa route.

It was pretty clear all the way down aside from the odd trucks that were easy enough to overtake due to the wide lanes. Traffic in the lakeside towns was very manageable.

Going up was via the back roads of Alfonso as we were visiting a friend's farm a few minutes behind Sonia's. We hit a few stretches of the bypass road but it's still incomplete.

ayos dumaan dyan sa ligaya drive.. ma testing talaga powers ng sasakyan mo dyan.. hehe

minsan dumaan kami dyan umuulan.. sarap humataw pa akyat.. na dulas pa ng konti yung rear wheels sa sharp curves pag madiin tapak mo sa gas.

Lot of road construction sta rosa tagaytay road, as early as 7am matraffic na paakyat. Tempting to go via mansion, revpal route pero madami cyclists.

ok din dyan sa revpal.. medyo ma trapik ka siguro dun sa marcos mansion kasi dami nag pipicture na mga jejemon biker..

pa akyat, mabagal naman sila kaya ok lang.. pero watch out kasi baka may sumemplang lalo na dun sa mga humahataw pababa..

pero overall ok naman ang daan dyan sa revpal..

kaya naman sir.. may portion talaga na gagapang lalo na pag puno.. kasi may curve talaga na matarik.. yun bang nasa harap mo na yung kalsada sa pag pihit..

na try ko na akyat yung fortuner.. kayang kaya kahit puno.. umuulan nun eh, kaya pag na piga mo ng todo yung accelerator sabay sa paliko na ahon nag skid agad rear wheels

yung adventure ko hirap.. pero naka ahon naman.. pero gapang talaga sa matarik at stay lang sa 1st gear

yung mazda 3 kayang kaya din pero ramdam mo yung grunt ng makina pa akyat

Pag pauwi ka manila galing tagaytay tapos nag santa rosa-tagaytay road ka pababa grabe ang traffic sa kalsadang ito papuntang calax. Eh ang lapit lang ng calax doon pero sobrang barado aabutin ka halos 2 hours para lang makapasok calax. Meron ba alternate route to calax aside from this road? tsaka nakikita niyo ba dun yung bagong gawa na tulay dun sa right side pag pauwi manila yung may bangin san kaya papunta yun haha stand out yung area na yun

Bad trip talaga yang stoplight sa CALAX exit to Sta Rosa-Tagaytay Road.

Ligaya Drive is another option if you're adventurous. It will take you to Talisay and you'll exit on the STAR Tollway. Make sure that your brakes work

Yung tulay to the right shortcut papuntang People's Park and Highlands.

I think you're referring to Kaylukot Bridge na lusot sa Picnic Grove and Tagaytay Highlands area. It was opened way back Dec 2020 by Mark Villar with much fanfare, pero when I tried to use it recently, may ~50-meter stretch pa pala na rough road. Lowered vehicles beware!

I used to take Eton exit then Sta Rosa/Tagaytay road. What's the best route now? I'll be going on a weekday so there shouldn't be any traffic? I used to drive to Sta Rosa/Silang regularly but I haven't been to Tagaytay in more than 5 years so I really have no idea anymore.

Just use Waze or Google Maps. Search your destination and tap, go.

If weekday, use the usual sta rosa-tagaytay road.

Kung weekend, wag na pumunta hehe.

Personally i like to ise the route that passes through nuvali and the old marcos mansion. May around 500m lang ng unpaved road dun sa tapat ng creepy mansion but generally maayos... And scenic.

CALAX.
exit slex (binan?), take calax. the other end is tagaytay-sta rosa road, past nuvali traffic.
but one has to have rfid for calax. it's easily apply-able naman, just before entering it.

all my colleagues do it.
akulang ang medyo hard-headed.

easytrip for Calax..

I can't remember the last time I drove to Tagaytay.. Feb 2021 pa yata.. and we stayed for 2 nights..

Recently mga 3x na.. parating passenger lang ako.. van sa office ang gamit.. allergic na ako sa Tagaytay sobra trapik..

Sta Rosa exit? Yes weekday. I'm enjoying out of town trips now. Weekly kasi I go home to Laguna, used to do so on a Sunday pero much better pala pag weekday.

I want to buy Platefuly Buko pie and Cecilia's hehe

I can't use cash? I googled and it's just a tent ata in CALAX? I'm so afraid na mainitan ever since I got fever nung naarawan ako I hate getting old, I used to love maarawan and my friends would even tease me na "ang yabang" when we're out because I don't look for shade and even love na maarawan. I'll go to Magallanes na lang one of these days. I have autosweep but not easy trip

I-calax mo na yan cathy.

Btw yung sinasabi ko na tulay dito sobrang convenient pala. Bypass road pala yun na malapad tapos near crosswind area na yung labas. Ang daming traffic maiiwasan. Tapos sa kabila naman yung sa kabilang side naman na papuntang wedding event places and alfonso area ay open na rin phase 1 ng bypass road. Makakaiwas ka sa traffic sa main road at rotonda.

so I can pass calax without easy trip? iaapply ko na derecho? Baka naman abutin pa ko 30 mins, kung 15 mins okay lang hehe
