‘Tayo na sa Antipolo’: These Photos Show Why Antipolo Is Perfect for a Quick Getaway

We all need to take a break sometimes.

Unfortunately, not all of us have the luxury of time and money to go far away for a break.

However, that does not mean you can’t take a break at all.

A couple of hours drive from Metro Manila is Antipolo City in Rizal. It is popular as a pilgrimage site. During the Holy Week, many devotees walk up to Antipolo City as part of their “panata.”

However, there is a lot to see in this city that you can enjoy for that much needed break.

I bought some rice cakes and the vendor gave me 2 bracelets then she said, “para sayo yung isa ma’am tapos bigay mo yung isa sa unang tao na naalala mo ng ibigay ko sayo to” sa isip isip ko “ay may pag ganon? Kala ata neto turista ako di nya alam taga antipolo talaga ako” Hahaha

Mystical Cave

Spontaneous. Yesterday, we did this buwis-buhay hike… In maong pants… And sipit tsinelas… The view was spectacular though. If yer looking for a nearby place to explore and climb, the Mystical Cave is just in Antipolo, Rizal. Watch out for the “hiling” stones. 😀

Mt. Purro Nature Reserve

Maiba naman. View from the summit of Mt. Purro in the Sierra Madre Mountains, a little mountain running to burn the holiday fat. Beautiful area near the Mt. Purro Nature Reserve. #trailrunning #mountainrunning #sierramadre #mountains
