A visit to Kyoto perhaps is one of the ultimate goals of every traveler. Myself is not exempted. Dreamers like me can now take a piece of Kyoto at Torres Farm. This is my favorite villa in the resort.

Statue of Liberty.
This awesome symbol of the United States, which was originally a gift of France to the American people, has also a replica in Torres Farm near the Pyramid. This area is still under construction but I could feel it looks like a New York City theme due to the clusters of building designs at the back.
Leaning Tower of Pisa
Located at the public swimming pool garden facing Disneyland, this iconic symbol of Pisa in the Italian region of Tuscany is one of the most famous landmarks in the world.
The replica at Torres Farm is not really huge but good enough to snap a souvenir shot. Just be creative with your angles since it is surrounded with trees and good lighting for clear photos might be difficult to achieve.
Our Travel
How did we end up at Torres Farm?
I wanted to have an out-of-town trip at the beginning of the year and my original plan was to visit Batangas, my sister wanted the nearest destination and suggested Torres Farm after she saw pictures of the resort on Facebook.
We left the Parañaque Terminal at 9:30 in the morning on board a non-aircon baby bus since aircon buses still have no clear schedule of departure. And we needed to leave early since we were only taking a day trip.
At 11:30, we reached Naic, Cavite. We dropped by at Jollibee for our quick lunch. At nearly 12:00 noon, we left Naic crossroad and hired a tricycle for Torres Farm and Resort. Ten minutes later, we arrived at the resort.
We had no advance reservation. The resort however accepts walk-in guests. Upon entering the gate, the smiling lady guard gave us a note and directed us to their tourism office, a long walk from the gate, to pay for appropriate fees.
But tricycle drivers are allowed to enter. So we requested manong driver to bring us to the tourism office. He did and asked us to have an additional Php5.00 each for our fare.
The resort has no restaurant but has food stalls inside. We brought snacks and bottled water but did not pay for corkage. They did not ask us either.
Our Experience
It was awesome. We really had fun. The environment is so breezy and the place is so spacious, so even if it was already noon time when we arrived under the sweltering heat of the sun, we still had a good time roaming around, taking photos.
