De La Salle University-Dasmarinas Cultural Heritage Complex, Dasmarinas, Cavite. Cavite is huge, and Dasmarinas is not as easy to reach from Santa Rosa as one might imagine.
From the Santa Rosa Silang border, specifically the Laguna Technopark and Paseo, it is best reached (for me at least, let me know if there is an even better route) via the "Cardiac Trail" at South Forbes, bgy. Inchican Silang...the road beside SMC's Wedgewoods. Scenic and quick enough. May get confusing, what with a lack of signages through hills and little barangays, but following a compass and map (GPS) can help. Of course, there are tricycle drivers and sari-sari store owners to ask.
Through to Silang town to get to the Emilio Aguinaldo Highway.
For a trip back up to Tagaytay then,it's just the Emilio Aguinaldo Highway all the way. Well, not really "just" that. Dasmarinas, Cavite is notorious for its traffic jams on the main road. Especially on Saturdays. And this was a Saturday.

Beautiful, gorgeous campus!
I do cherish my Jesuit education...but I wish I had it in this campus, with this kind of heritage consciousness. The La Salle Brothers have it, led by Bro. Andrew Gonzalez, from whose family a large part of the museum's collection comes. It was his idea to build it, actually, per the museum guide.
