A drive to Rizal, Philippines

18 41

Being a city kid and all, going on long drives outside the metro always excite me. There's never enough greenery in the metro to even compare to some of the provinces here. Specially in Rizal, it's one of the closest areas near metro manila that has still managed to maintain and preserve much of its beauty. In this trip we went to a sort of local music festival(?) Somewhere in Baras, one of the towns in Rizal and the sight with each mountain we pass really was breathtaking.

This was the place where the mini festival took place, it wasn't much of a crowd but it was fun. All the lanterns hung on the cottages lit up at night but the view it faced was precious

It faced a mountain with one of the loveliest views during sunset and sunrise. I'd know since i didn't sleep that entire trip

Here was the sunset. i didn't manage to get a photo of dawn since the house covered what little i could see of the sunrise itself. But by morning we did manage to gather enough energy to go for a short drive. It somehow lead us to a trekking path that promised a waterfall at the end of its trail. And being the city folks high on caffeine and sugar that me and my companions were, we went trekking

What was amazing was that we even had to cross a rope bridge for this. Again, a very new experience for me. Then the trek continued into such a steep descend down to where the waterfall was

It wasn't much of a waterfall as what I'd always expected one to be but it was still beautiful, nonetheless. It seems that it just hot smaller due to the reduced amount of trees in that area. I hope they would continue to at least preserve this for other generations to see because it saddens with the thought that one day these sights will all be gone.

Yeah, it's looking good. But the photo number 5 (waterfall) seems to be upside down. You have to turn it 180 degrees.

Well even the preservation fees here aren't even used to maintain the places so it's just plain sad

There are plenty more pretty places to go to here in the Philippines but yeah, if you get to go around the Rizal area and all, it's pretty much the complete package since some places even harbor a fishing community, those found downhill. But batangas is nice too. It's similar
