Well Hello Readers! I am up for another blog post! Since summer is fast approaching here in the Philippines and you can feel the heat outside, I think Summer has officially began!
Living in a tropical country has its own perks. You will no longer need to travel abroad just to see beautiful beaches, fine sand, scenic surroundings, cozy hotel and more. A simple road trip and you can get to the beautiful beaches in the country. But somehow, you want MORE than the usual beach shore and so this travel post is intended for you! Presenting our beautiful LAS CASAS FILIPINAS DE ACUZAR!
You will feel like were transported by a time machine to go back to the era of Old Manila..
Anyways a trivia to all you my beloved readers:
"Did you know that most of the heritage houses in Las Casas Filipinas de Acuzar were the real or actual houses? What that they did was to disassemble the houses from its original location then reassemble again to Las Casas. While also some houses where actually built from scratch and just copied the structure of the house from history books and old pictures. How astonishing! "
You can also see really old/antique furnitures, painting, walls etc inside the house. So you have both the worlds - history and time travel.
Be overwhelmed by the beauty of Las Casas Filipinas de Acuzar by the following photos: (Copyright)
The picture above is a church is a actually a replica of Lubao Church and is one of the most picturesque place in Las Casas Filipinas de Acuzar.
The heritage house as shown in the picture above is my most favorite among all the heritage houses in Las Casas. It kinda give a San Francisco vibe and the windows are so modern.
As you go along with the heritage tour (which is actually part of what you paid for), you will not surely miss this view. I love how this place is so huge that every heritage house were intricately rebuilt and placed in right location.
Las Casas at night :-) Oh how dramatic and the ambience of the place is so peaceful.(above)
Las Casas during the day (above). Same picture!
If you are tired hopping in to different ancestral house, you can go the the nearest shoreline inside Las Casas. As you can see, the sand is fine and water is blue.
Another favorite. This is the Case Binondo if I am not mistaken. You can see the resemblance of this house with the existing old houses along Binondo.
This is what hotels looks like in Manila before.. I love the exteriors and the facade.
With this beautiful view, who am I not to strike a blogger pose right? :-)
Look at the floor!! See how each rock were intricately placed one after another. How artistic!
Strike a pose :-)
This one in particular we never really missed to try out - riding an old school train. This actually gives you a tour of the Las Casas. This train needs to rest for 30 mins and then it will start running again.
Overall, the experience is super worth it!! The food (we ate at one of the restaurants inside and super love the food!), the hotel we stayed in (sorry I forgot to take pictures but it is really huge and super clean and super "sosyal"/elegant) and most of all, the heritage houses are super beautiful. They are super picturesque and the history each house has is incredible.
I can't actually vouch for the travel expense as this is a company outing ( we came all expense paid) but you can check details on their website: https://www.lascasasfilipinas.com/ .
Till our next trip!
Note: If you will come here and you need a carinderia that offers eat all you can buffet, please checkout:

This is also a hidden garden gem (actually the whole place is a GEM already) but this one in particularly is not so located in the usual road in Las Casas. So we were so lucky that this garden is seated just right at the back of our hotel inside Las Casas. The fountain looked so dramatic at night of course with well-lit houses surrounding it.

Another favorite heritage house. Super love the stairway at the left of the house which reminds me of Old-school Filipino movies location. I also imagined the "Harana" scene in here that we have in our Filipino Culture wherein male suitor will need to sing outside of the house in order to capture the heart of the woman he loves who is actually from the window looking to the man while singing :-)
