“On a clear day, Lake Taal is truly a marvel to behold. You can get superb views from Talisay and other towns that line the volcanic ridge around the lake’s crater setting. Like a set of Russian matreshka dolls, the aptly named Volcano Island in the middle of the lake in turn encircles its own little lake. Taal Volcano boasts over 47 craters and 35 volcanic cones.” Lonely Planet Philippines
