PARADISE RANCH: The Hidden Gem of Clark Pampanga

 

 

Our special feature this week may not be as luxurious as the usual places which we feature but we assure you that this is truly worth visiting! We feel very honoured and blessed in finding such a humble place, felt more like finding a hidden treasure or a precious gem. We’d like to introduce to you PARADISE RANCH – The Hidden Gem of Clark Pampanga!

 

Paradise Ranch is a humble place dedicated in promoting environmental conservation through tree planting and animal conservation. The place is just teeming with life with its lush greens, tall standing trees and quite a huge number of animals which inhabit the place… a paradise indeed!

 

They may not have luxurious amenities or silver platters to dine on, but the place is abundant with natural wonders and people  carry in them hearts of gold, for Paradise Ranch also provides employment to the less fortunate as well as to our fellow aeta brothers living around  the ranch.

 

Allow us to show you the photos from our trip….

 

 

 We stayed at one of their family villas. It was a very decent family room with 2 double beds. Nothing really fancy here but quite comfortable!

 

 

 

 

As you can see, the place is all about caring for the environment. Take note of the plastic bottles providing shade to this walk way.

 

 

 

 lush greens, colorful blooms… I enjoyed another relaxing photowalk!

 Paradise Ranch is surrounded by lots of gardens each one having its own theme

 

 

 

 This place is just teeming with life!

 

 

 

 a perfect place to relax! Agree?

 

 

 

 The biggest Butterfy Garden is located here at Paradise Ranch!

 

 

 

 here at Paradise Ranch you’ll get to see and get close to these fantastic creatures!

 

 

 

 if you’re lucky enough, you will even get the chance to see this….

 

 

 

I love animals!  Paradise Ranch houses a mix of farm and exotic creatures. Highly recommended for educational trips and family outings!

 

 

 We were surprised to see this very enchanting bird called the Golden Pheasant which is believed to be the inspiration behind IBONG ADARNA!

 

 

 

 for only 20 pesos, you get the chance to meet and feed these ostriches! They’re harmless I swear!

 

 

 

 

 Right at the peak is a place which they call Little Baguio due to the cool breeze and pine trees which surround the place… really worth the hike!

 

 

 

 

 

 me and Frank on normal mode. lols!

kidding aside, this place looks really like paradise!

 

 

 

 Ifugao huts for that real Baguio “feel”

 

 

 

 here at Paradise Ranch, you can totally be yourself! Having fun while saving the earth! Sounds like a great idea don’t you think so?

Now we take you to one of our favorite spots here at Paradise Ranch called Toon Town! It’s basically a garden filled with life sized replicas of famous cartoon characters! A sure treat for kids and kids-at-heart (like us!).

 

 

 

welcome to Toon Town! 

 

 

 

we love doing silly stuff together!

 

 

lols!

 

 

 

 woah… they even got a replica of the Statue of Liberty here!

 

 

 

They also have a Zip Line here at Paradise Ranch!  Yey!

 

 

the people here at the ranch are very warm and down to earth! It’s always a blessing to meet nice people! 

 

 

 

 weeeeeee!!!!

 

 

 

 I want more! more! more!!

 

 

 

Frank!  hahahahaha!

 

 

 

 being at the Paradise Ranch felt like a dream! I always wanted to see a tee pee! I felt like a kid again!

 

 

 

I remember having loads of fun when we had our night swimming there! Very ideal for family trips! 

 

 

 

Paradise Ranch is also the home of Zoocobia – another sanctuary for our furry and feathered friends! This is a great place to take your kids in order to educate them about caring and respecting animals!

 

 

 The baby animals were so sweet! This baby goat here kept following me around the barn that I just had to have a photo with it!

 

 

 

 meanwhile… my partner Frank is having a heart to heart talk with this donkey….. lols

 

 

 

 meet Victoria the llama! I met her during my birthday last May on my 1st visit! It’s really great to see her again! She’s “suplada” by the way! hihihi

 

 

 

 

Another thing I love about Zoocobia is their Zooc Ride!

   

 

 

  

The food served here at Paradise Ranch are very simple decent meals composed of local favorites which we often eat at home. Nothing very fancy so don’t expect extravagantly plated dishes etc. Paradise Ranch, it’s all about simplicity. If you’re a fan of simple Pinoy food, you’ll appreciate this very much!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

There is something in this place which enchants me….. I feel very much at home here….. very much safe….. 

 

 

 I know in my heart that I will surely come back for there are more things to appreciate in this place =)

 

 

 

 

If there is one important lesson which I learned from this trip, I believe it would be the beauty of simplicity. 

 

 

 

…That having fun doesn’t really have to be expensive…it only has to be shared with the people who matter.

 

The appreciation of natural beauty, the importance of planting trees, helping the less fortunate earn a decent living and caring for animals are just a few of the many things which you will learn here at Paradise Ranch. I have so much high regard for people who choose to help others and devote their time not for profit, but for preserving the earth, caring for creatures as well as helping our brothers live better lives. Paradise Ranch is such a nice and inspiring place to be in so I believe the public should know more about this place!

 

At first, I thought this was just another park….. I never thought this trip would be so meaningful and I’m really thankful that the universe has led us to this place….

 

…..perhaps so we could  share with you  all that paradise here on earth is very much possible if we all act responsibly and do our role in preserving and beatifying the world!  So remember, when in Manila, experience a slice of paradise… be sure to come and bring your whole family here at Paradise Ranch! You won’t regret it!

 

 

 

another day in paradise
