Before we discuss Daraitan one of the famous places to trek. Let’s define what is trekking first. It means to go on a difficult journey by foot. A common example of this is trekking in a jungle.
Most of us would probably wish to go somewhere in Tagaytay or Baguio this summer. To find a cooler place to relax and enjoy vacation. Unfortunately not everyone has the capacity to do so and the said places are so crowded.
I just want to share with you a place that is not very known to everyone that offers almost the same athmosphere as the two said places. Located at 56 Marcos Hi-way, Mayagay, Tanay, Rizal; Sierra Madre Hotel and Resort is the place to be.
Going there is easy only if you have a background of the place. But nowadays almost any smartphone have built-in GPS so there’s nothing to worry. There are two possible routes to get there from Manila. First is to take the long trip suitable for jeepneys, vehicles that carry heavy materials and in the same time if you want to enjoy seeing some of the barrios in Rizal before Tanay such as Cainta, Taytay, Angono, Binangonan and Baras. Obviously, it will really take longer time compared using the route from Cogeo to Antipolo, Baras and then Tanay. My friends and I were in the jeepney and left 10 minutes advance than our Pastor who uses a Bighorn vehicle. Along the way we were looking for them and assuming that we are taking the lead because we can’t see them. Surprisingly, they are able to be there earlier than us because they use the shortcut route.
