MT. DARAITAN,TINAPAK RIVER AND CAVE IN TANAY RIZAL

It was our second time to visit Tanay,Rizal as I said to my previous blog Tanay is full of marvelous nature attractions "at hindi nya talaga kami binibigo" tanay is not failing us so thumbs up :) 

We traveled for 1 hour and 45 minutes to Tanay,Rizal (I recommended to depart in manila early in the morning to avoid the traffic)  and another 2 hours to Barangay It wasn’t a smooth ride as well as the road going to Brgy. Daraitan was not yet paved. It was bumpy and butt-numbing and there were times wherein we need to go down of the tricycle and walk just for us to get through steep parts of the road. We haven’t reach the jump-off yet and we already felt the challenge. haha :)

we visited the Barangay hall for registration, requiring us a fee of php20 each.

The price of the hike is the view of the Tinipak River. The view was regrettably foggy when we were at the top as the rain started to pour down on us. But minus the fogginess, I'm sure the view would be lovely.

Climbing  became a bit difficult because of the weather. The steps were muddy and slippery and it was a really a challenge for all of us. 

Thankfully, the weather got better when we finally arrived at the foot of the mountain.

its almost lunchtime when we reach the foot of the mountain we are all exhausted and hungry so we decided to have our brunch in eatery located at Tinapak river.

Lomi is their specialty here must try it guys :)

after we eat we visit Tinapak Cave so we started our trek yes you read it right wahahahah walang katapusan na paglalakad actually im really super duper tired because its my first time and wala akong exercise so i suggested to do your exercise before climbing for a first timer like me hehe :) adventure seekers will definitely love this place  On the way to this enchanting Tinipak cave is Deathtifying wall climbing, rappelling and rock climbing. Really, this place is packed with adrenaline rush activities :) back to tinapak cave unfortunately I was not able to take photos inside the cave beacuse its too dark and may camera is too cheap cant capture photos in the dark haha :)
