Trip to Pililla Wind Farm: Directions and Other Info

30 April 2016


The last time we went looking for the Pililla Wind Farm, we didn't actually end up getting there.  You can read about our journey here.  This time, we decided on traveling the route we were originally on (the Sampaloc-Tanay road) before we turned around and drove down via the less-known route from near Camp Capinpin.  At the 54MW Pililla Rizal Wind Farm, we were up close and personal with six (6) 125-meter tall wind turbines capable of generating 2MW of power.  From here, we also saw a row of 9 more wind turbines at a different location, presumably along the same road which we weren't able to access at this time.

Trip to Pililia Wind Farm: Lunch first at Cafe Katerina

30 April 2016

Yesterday, we decided that since Patrick was test driving the new Hyundai Tucson for Top Gear Philippines, we could go back to the Pililia Wind Farm and see if we could actually finish what we started before (read about our previous trip here).  We left the house at 10AM and arrived around lunchtime at our first stop, Cafe Katerina. Cafe Katerina is a restaurant offering Filipino dishes located atop a hill affording a scenic overlook of the Tanay, Rizal area all the way to Laguna de Bay.
