A Glimpse Of Paradise

If your looking for enchanting Mountains,Caves,River,waterfalls,rolling grassland and a variety of outdoors activities near Manila,Then Brgy Daraitan in Tanay Rizal is right for you!

Tanay Rizal

Tanay Rizal is  located 57 kilometres east of Manila. It contains portions of the Sierra Madre Mountains and is bordered by Antipolo City in the northwest, Baras, Morong and Teresa in the west, General Nakar (Quezon Province) in the east, and Pililla, Santa Maria (Laguna province) as well as the lake Laguna de Bay in the south.

Daraitan -"The Hidden Paradise of Tanay Rizal"

Daraitan is the most facinating barangay in tanay Rizal where you can find a hidden paradise,Hospitable people and beautiful mountains.

The view of the plains was fresh and beautiful

We met up at McDonald Shaw Boulevard and ride a van bound to Tanay Rizal. It took us 1-2 hours to reach Tanay Public Market.

From Tanay Public Market we rode a tricycle to Brgy. Daraitan. The road is very rough and We have to unload and walk at some point whenever the trike is having difficulty to go uphill.

The sight of the river’s sparkling waters

A magnificent view of the Sierra Madre mountain range and the province of Rizal

I felt the cold fresh air slapped my face.The view of the trees and the sound of the raging river was refreshing. As we trekked up the mountains.

                            

Needed to climb down steep trails, the trail is a little bit scary. 

The majestic white rocks and cliffs that border it.

We finally reach the Tinipak River. It was a worth-it view of the huge white-rock formation .We Set-up each of our tent near the river and watched the stars at night. 

The next we swam in the river and lie our legs on a large, smooth rock, and let the river’s cool currents massage our  tired legs.

At The Tinipak River

The river was full of rage, powerful, and fascinating.

We crossed the Tinipak River to have a glimpse of the nearby Cave.

The water inside the cave is cool and fresh. 

We visited only one cave because we are lack of headlights,proper gears and the cave is really scary so we just spent 30 minutes inside it.

The side of the mountain was elegantly designed with huge white rocks shining and shimmering under the soft sunlight.

As human beings, we are naturally drawn to the heights. Mountains are breathtakingly beautiful and remind us how small we are. At the same time, when we look up at mountaintops, a part of us feels like we are standing there, surveying the world from high above, which can make us feel mighty.

Another 24 hours of adventure filled  with laughter and good memories I have.
