My trip to Torres Farm and Resort
After we had our lunch at the Acienda Designer Outlet Mall near the Emilio Aguinaldo Highway, our group decided to visit the Torres Farm and Resort. After one hour of road trip, we arrived at the resort around 1:20 pm. We paid the necessary entrance fee at the arrival destination and the staff gave us a bracelet as a ticket after that, we started roaming around. The first attraction we see is the Moai Statue which is a tall sculpture made out of volcanic rock. Each member of the group is positioned on the side of each statue and from there we have our group picture taken.
Just beside the Moai Statue, we can see the I Love Torres Farm theme signage with a small replica of the Mayon Volcano on the right side. Then as we continued walking we spotted the well-known windmill in the Netherlands and the iconic Eiffel Tower in France surrounded by gaslight-inspired lampposts which are very common in Paris. So each member of the group lined up to take solo pictures at this Instagramable spot. Afterward, we see the old Greece that dominated much of the Mediterranean region thousands of years ago. One of the main attractions is the Santorini which is famous for its white-painted walls and architecture that gives dramatic views and stunning sunsets from Oia village.
After a few minutes, we spotted the Sydney Opera House which is one of the famous landmarks in Australia and is known for hosting symphony concerts, music shows, and choir performances. On the other side, we see some friendly ducks that look like they are in their natural habitat. After that, we spotted the Cottage of the Seven Dwarfs which is one of the locations featured in Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs. Just beside it, we can see the eye-catching Disneyland in Hongkong and for this reason, we have another group picture in the inspired castle in the resort. A few blocks away we spotted the notable Merlion Park which is a symbol of Singapore with the body of a fish and a lion’s head. So we take our time and have solo pictures at the right angle while sightseeing at the vast resort.
Then we continued walking and we found the majestic Statue of Liberty in New York which is a figure of a Roman goddess of freedom and liberty. At the back of the statue is a manifold of high-rise colorful buildings. To the right side, we can see the Great Pyramid of Giza which is one of the seven wonders of the ancient world because of its precise engineering and grand size. It was built in Egypt as tombs for their ancient pharaohs. After we were done taking pictures, we bought some food and refreshments because at that time the weather was sizzling hot.
Anyway, after a few minutes, we go to our next attraction which is the Christmas Village. The village looked so lovely, and realistic and the design of the houses was fabulous that I thought I was really in a foreign country. The only thing missing is the snow but we enjoy exploring the whole village. Next, we go to the Taj Mahal which is an ivory-marble mausoleum and is the number one tourist attraction in India. After that, we explored other attractions and later we decided to call it a day, and as much as we wanted to explore the whole resort, the scorching heat was unbearable. Anyway, I’ve traveled the world in one day without a visa or passport and I have a fantastic walking tour in this wholesome place. Without a doubt, Torres Farm and Resort is a great place for all ages, families, or groups who want to have a fun and educational experience.
