Day 1 - Touchdown Naic: Coastal Wonders

Good morning! You've just landed in a town embraced by the sea and abundant greenery. Let's get our feet wet, literally! First stop is the Maragondon Beach, a slice of serenity with its pristine waters and vibrant marine life. Bring that sunscreen and soak up the morning rays. Afterwards, dust off the sand because it's time to explore the Freshwater Rice Terraces. Ever seen a stairway to heaven? Me neither, but these terraces sure come close. End your day at the Mataas Na Kahoy Viewpoint. Imagine catching the fiery sunset over panoramic views of the lush hills, coconut groves, with a river sneakily snaking its way in between. Oh, the romance! To keep the stomach happy, we recommend enjoying a traditional Filipino dinner at a local 'carinderia'. Think steaming rice paired with 'Adobo' or 'Sinigang'...so, is your appetite kindled yet?

Day 2 - A Snapshot of History

Rise and shine! We're traversing time today into the heart of Naic's historical landscape. Start your day at the iconic Casa Hacienda de Naic, a monument that has weathered political unrest and revolutions. A real testament to resilience, huh? After that, we visit the Memorial Cross of Mabuting Balita, symbolizing the first baptism in Naic. If you're still hungry for more history, the Municipal Plaza is next. Here, you'll find monuments commemorating local heroes and historical events. Before stepping into the present, we visit the final historic site: the St. Roch Parish Church. This church has stood tall for centuries, with its stunning stained glass windows and intricate wood carvings. To wrap up the day, let's trade history for some retail therapy at the local night markets. Ever tried bargaining in a market? It's like a dance, all about rhythm and precision.

Day 3 - Embracing Local Life

Today's the day to truly immerse yourself in local life, so let's dive right in! We are off to the weekly 'Palengke' (market). Try your hand at haggling for fresh produce or be adventurous and try some local street foods. What's that smelling like heaven, you ask? That's Lechon Manok roasting away! Post market, we head to Divina's Halo-Halo, a local spot famed for its mix-mix dessert. Ever had a dessert that became your favorite by the second spoonful? This might just be it. A stroll at the Gahak Watering Hole helps digest that tantalizing Halo-Halo. As the sun sets on your final day in Naic, we bid adieu at Naic Coastal Baywalk, a peaceful strip offering front row seats to some breathtaking sunsets. Three days in paradise, over just like that… Can we start again?
