About This Blog
Flight chronicles of the backpacker Tutubi, with travelogues, pictures/photos/videos, travel guides, independent and honest reviews, affordable, recommended resorts and hotels (including inns, guesthouses, pension houses, lodges, hostels, condotels, bed and breakfast and other cheap accommodations), commuting guides, routes (sometimes street maps and GPS coordinates/waypoints) and driving directions to answer "how to get there" questions, information and tips on tourism, budget travel and living in Philippines, Exotic Asia and beyond!

Backpacking, independent travel, and flashpacking are cheaper than the "cheapest package tours" and promotional offers around but you can also use travel information for family vacations, even romantic honeymoon destinations.

More than the usual tourist spots and "places to see," this blog advocates heritage conservation, environmental protection, and history awareness for Filipinos, foreigners, and ex-pats wishing to explore Paradise Philippines and Exotic Asia!

    Cable Wakeboarding in Batangas (and CamSur/CWC, DECA (DWP) ad Clark (CWP))

    It's company summer outing time and after Tutubi, fresh from his Mumbai, India travel, now has time to relax and unwind at the beach of Calatagan, Batangas in a resort called Lago de Oro (Spanish for Lake of Gold)

    Lago de Oro is a resort located on the beach of Calatagan with a not-so-great beach, nice facilities, a small swimming pool, playground but what's really great about this one is the presence of the water-ski facility for cable wakeboarding or kneeboarding called cable park.

    Tutubi was able to try kneeboarding, and able to get past the first turn on his second try but not on the 2nd one. He was the only first timer there to get past it.

    It seems Lago de Oro's wakeboarding is already known to many people that Tutubi even saw Alaska's coach Tim Cone and his entire family wakeboarding as if they're doing it for so long.

    How to get to Lago de Oro, Calatagan Batangas

    Directions are posted on their official website as well as prices, room rates and sample pictures and video.

    Another nice to visit place in Calatagan is the old historic lighthouse, called Faro de Punta Santiago, on Cape Santiago. The outdoor museum at Golden Sunset also in the town is worth a visit for history buffs like Tutubi.

    Other wakeboard/cable park in the Philippines is the popular CamSur or CWC, DECA Wakeboard Park (DWP in Davao), Clark Wakeboard Park (CWP) in Angeles City and Republic Wakepark in Nuvali, Sta. Rosa, Laguna. For wakeboarding rates and other info please visit their official websites or call official contact numbers
