Heritage Worth Keeping - Las Casas Filipinas de Acuzar, Bataan Philippines

in #travel6 years ago (edited)

If you are looking for un-compromised places to go here in the Philippines, I definitely recommend Las Casas Filipinas De Acuzar.

My friends and I were always on a look out for uncommon places around the Philippines, and when we saw the place, we almost immediately decided to go.

The place is jammed with foreigners who wanted to see the cultural houses around the Philippines, and the place has provided just that.

There is a guided tour for Php 2,000.00, plus an all day access to all the activities in the area, such as swimming in the pool and in the lake.

The houses here are really old, so they've preserved it to preserved the history it represents which I personally think is really awesome. The guide talks about the history of the houses, who owns it and how it came about to Acuzars.


My friends and I, are really paying attention.

They even have the traditional items our ancestors used once upon a time.

Some, even as a proud Filipino, I'm not really sure how it was used and for what purposes

We were also informed that we can stay here for the night, either thru Casas or hotels.

The tour lasted for about an hour, then we were given towels to refresh ourselves.

Then of course, picture taking!

We definitely had fun exploring and learning here.
It really is more fun in the Philippines <3

Wow. I'm quite glad to see heritage sites in PH that are in great condition. Amazing location and shots, this post is a feast for the eyes. Great job.

And oh, welcome to Steemit! Hope you have fun blogging here :)

Hi, thank you for the comment, and also for the welcome. Yes, these heritages are expected to be here for the longest time and people often forget about them. That's what the Las casas is all about. There are certain issues with the Las Casas, (Some demands the houses to be returned in their proper land) and there are movements that promotes their closure. Though, since this costly experience provides livelihood to the people of Bataan, they were not really addressed properly. Las Casas provides an adventure in time, and we can really be in touch with the Filipino culture, i just hope though, that some heritages are really preserved and not destroyed just to promote livelihood. -Cheers!
