Tagaytay is very accessible for backpackers like me who prefer to travel via public vehicle.

In this part, I will just give the direction and transportation going to the midpoint of Tagaytay or the central I where you can take different route going to your specific destination in Tagaytay. This is called Olivarez Plaza or Rotonda (sometimes I heard it pronounced as Rotunda). The first time I commuted here, I was confused when the driver told us that we're already in Rotunda while the term I know where we can be drop off is Olivarez Plaza which is referring to Rotunda also. So be mindful and ask the driver to drop you off in Rotunda or Olivarez Plaza.

It is the combination of two tagalog words "taga" (to cut) and "itay" (father).

This started when a father and son were hunting a wild boar. Suddenly, the wild boar attacked them. As the animal reached the father, the son cried repeatedly “taga itay!” A loud shout that was heard by the citizens of this countryside. The shout became source of commotion in the area. Since then, the place was called TAGAYTAY which is very famous tourist spot until today.
