both local and internationals movies and advertisements. IT is located at the
foot of the Tanay mountains. It has the elements of a beautiful waterfalls,
ponds, and rivers with trees and plants.
2.
Batlag Falls (Tanay, Rizal)
A smaller but not lesser of a beauty is the Batlag
Falls. It is secluded in a forested area. A deeply preserved natural wonder.
3.
Susong Dalaga (Bgy. Sapang, Talim
Island, Binangonan, Rizal)
Curious why it was named “Susong Dalaga”? It was
because its shape is said to be like a virgin’s breast. A 200 meter-high mountain,
Susong Dalaga gives its hikers a bit of a challenge. Don’t worry. All of the
hikers’ efforts will not be wasted as the scenic Laguna Lake and its
surroundings await them as they reach the mountain’s highest point.
4.
Hinulugang Taktak (Taktak Road,
Antipolo City)
Growing up, I have always heard a song about
Hinulugang Taktak. So maybe this is the most famous tourist attraction in Rizal
(or not). It has been said that the mountain
resort has picnic cottages, a swimming pool, artificial paths, and steps to
view the waterfalls. During the month of May, cultural concerts and plays are
held in the area fronting the waterfalls.
5.
Talim Island (Binangonan, Rizal)
It offers a breathtaking view to
the tourists. Enough said.
6. Puting Buhangin Beach
Located in the famous Pagbilao
Grande area, Puting Buhangin Beach is like the Boracay or Pagudpud of Quezon
with its pure white sand beach, crystal-clear and calm water. It is the
tropical dream of every tourists with the summer-like setting and coconut trees.
7. Tikub Lake
"About two kilometers in diameter
and 75 meters deep, Tikob Lake lies on the crater of an extinct volcanoIt is
located in Tiaong, Quezon"
8. Malusak Cave
“It is probably the longest cave
in Atimonan, with a clearance of more or less 2 feet in height. It is located
in Barangay Malusak, Atimonan, Quezon.”
9. Durungawan, Mt. Banahaw
Once you have reached the peak of
the popular Mt. Banahaw, Durungawan will greet you. Durungawan is the perfect
place to see the towns and city surrounding Mt. Banahaw. It is a tourist’s
reward for surviving the hike up the mountain. Durungawan is located in
Dolores, Quezon.
10. Puting Bato
If Puting Buhangin Beach brings
you to Boracay, Puting Bato will bring you to North Palawan.
“The major attractions of Puting
Bato are its cliff walls, which look like limestone cliffs of North Palawan.
Aside from the walls, there are small caves. Small isolated beaches, which are
good for swimming, can also be found. Rock formations, which look like
umbrellas, abound in the area. It is located in Barangay Puting Bato, Burdeos,
Quezon”
