Are you traveling around the Philippines? Here's a collection of stunning photos, travel itineraries, backpacking ideas, & hiking guides.
It's a small but tiring hike because of its terrain. Though separated by the Wawa River from Mt. Pamitinan, Mt. Binacayan almost has the same features in terms of difficulty and trail types. Some fruit-bearing trees and shrubs bloom like ornaments, and the lullabies from birds can be heard. You will be certified as a "revel in trekking" because of the rock climbing and scrambling on the boulders and limestone cliffs with sharp edges.
This is a perfect place to relax and re-energize your body. When we saw the gorgeous photos of this mountain, we thought it had calmness and the positivity that nature possesses. Also, hiking this mountain and crossing the Tinipak River can definitely give you a unique experience because the place is surrounded by relaxing greens, and the sound of the rushing water by the river preserves tranquillity. Aside from this mountain, the province of Rizal has a lot to offer, from arts, crafts, food, rivers and mountains.
It is a dwarf and a hiking-friendly mountain in Montalban, Rizal, that can give you a tantalising view of nature's beauty. Together with Pamitinan and Binacayan, Hapunang Banoi is one of the most hiked mountains in the area because it is also surrounded by Lucius green trees, which makes the area look relaxing. Plus the exhilarating terrains added an adventure to hikers. In the centre of these mountains is Wawa Dam, a water reservoir built by the Americans. This area was chosen because it's a catch basin of the three mountains.
This mountain is one of the most hiked mountains because it became famous due to its accessibility from Manila. It's been a long time since we planned to visit Wawa Dam and hike the twin mountains, for some reasons, it resulted to "drawing." Hiking Mt. Pamitinan is a bit challenging but will definitely give you an amazing and wide view of the greens surrounding Wawa Dam and part of Sierra Madre.
It is one of the must-visit or best restaurants to dine if you are looking for exotic foods. I am not into cooking, but I love eating so I would like to share our amazing encounter with exotic foods at Balaw Balaw Restaurant in Angono, Rizal. This happened after enjoying the famous Higantes Festival; while our clothes were wet, we headed to this special restaurant.
Higantes Festival is an annual festivities held every November 23 in Angono, Rizal; its main purpose is to honor San Clemente, patron saint of the fishermen. His image is carried by male devotees during the procession, followed by the street dancers and participants. Higantes (Giants in English) is made up of paper mosaic handcrafted by the artistic minds of the people of Angono.
I have been planning to visit the historical and century-old churches in Pasig and the province of Rizal and the plan became a reality; today is the perfect day and the perfect season. It is my Visita Iglesia 2018 in a backpacking style. My itinerary started with the oldest church in Pasig, then the oldest Marian church in Cainta, St. John the Baptist in Taytay, and the stunning Tanay Church with Baroque architecture. And to close our good Friday adventure, we visited the gigantic Pililla Wind Farm, also in Rizal.
