2025 Tanay Travel Guide: Must-see attractions, popular food, hotels, transportation routes (updated in March)

I didn’t plan to visit Tanay, Rizal but my itchy feet took me there. My original plan was to travel to Romblon but since I was not able to catch the last ferry, I decided to go to the nearest natural area from Manila. I’m lucky to catch the last Van going to Tanay and found a place to stay at Ellen’s Balcony. The next morning I took a tricycle going to Calinawan Cave and I was the only person who’s about to explore the place that time. Or maybe people now are not interested in caving adventures? I don’t see a lot of posts about Calinawan cave and i think it’s underrated. I was amazed by its history and the tour became even more fun because of my awesome tour guide Jhepoy Matalino. The cave was really enchanting! It’s one of Tanay’s hidden gems! 💎 My caving adventure won’t be memorable without him. Have you been to this cave before? Share your experience!🦇 #localescapes #Nature #Cavingadventure #trip #instatravel #caves #CalinawanCave #TanayRizal #Tanay #philippines #luzon #adventure #travel

Enjoying the cold breeze

Coffee and nature are the best forms of therapy. It is one of life's simple pleasures that we can enjoy alone, with friends, or most of the time with family. This is one of the best coffee shop you can find in Tanay,Rizal! Kape Natividad Roastery and Cafe is known for its affordable coffee and pugon pizza and is located in Marikina-Infanta Hwy, Sampaloc, Tanay, Rizal. They serve excellent food and have a spectacular view of the clouds and mountains. Aside from their coffee and pizza, my recommendations and personal favorites here are the Mixed Berries Smoothie, Silog meals, and Sinigang na baboy. Affordable price and Great food! #foodie #coffeeshop #wheninsouth

Getting There - sariling sasakyan, motor, kuha ng tour package, pede mo rin iwaze or map 😄 Attractions - check mo na lang mga pictures Hotels - camping site Food & Restaurants - konti lang Shopping - Introduction Mt. Kulis is a beginner-friendly mountain located in Sitio Maysawa, Barangay Cuyambay, Tanay, Rizal. It offers scenic views of the Sierra Madre mountain range and beautiful scenery of the famous attractions. Mt. Kulis’ height is 620 MASL while Sambong Peak height is 629 MASL. Because of its proximity to Manila, the view of Noah’s Ark and the sea of clouds, it’s become one of the most popular hiking destinations and camping sites. The Filipino hiking group buzzed when a photo of a newly discovered mountain in Tanay, Rizal surfaced on the internet in the year 2019. Mt. Kulis became popular among the hikers and locals because it is where the ABS-CBN’s TV series “Ang Probinsyano” was set as a shooting area before it finally opened to the public. The house that stands at the summit of Mt. Kulis was the house of Cardo Dalisay in the TV series. #tripblazers #bucketlistreboot #mytripvlog #tripdotcom #mountain #tanayrizal #philippines #campingglamping

This peak, located in the Rizal Mountains, is most famed for the ethereal views that those who trek to its summit are rewarded with. (*Yup! Another one where you can get above the clouds is this one.) You'll need to get out of bed very early to catch a glimpse of this ethereal natural phenomenon, as the effect is most pronounced around sunrise. The trail to the peak is straightforward, though steep at points, and deserves a Maculot-like 3/9 difficulty rating. The journey down the waterfalls, on the other hand, includes short portions of rock hiking, which adds to the effort and raises the difficulty level to 4/9 if completed in its entirety. Muddiness will almost certainly be a factor throughout the rainy season. So be a bit extra careful. #beautifulsunsets#summervacation#hikingtrails#urbanexplorer

This renowned tourist spot in Rizal is ideal for anyone looking to get away from the hustle and bustle of Manila (and believe me, it's a bustling city!). Hikers of all ages will enjoy this trip, as you will have the opportunity to stroll on a suspension bridge amid some truly fantastic surroundings. The lush green of the rainforest, combined with the numerous limestone formations, make for a beautiful and simple day hike that truly transports you away from the hustle and bustle of city life. #lover'smilestone#hiking#naturalwonders#summervacation#hikingtrails#urbanexplorer

Embark on a journey where cobblestone streets whisper tales of centuries past, vibrant markets burst with exotic flavors, and sun-kissed shores melt into turquoise horizons, creating memories that etch themselves into the soul.

#favouriteitinerary Amazing that this oldest of Tanay churches is still standing! But before entering the church, the huge sculpture of Mama Mary and San Ildefonso of Toledo greets parishioners as they enter the gate. The sculpture was made by several local craftsmen as a way to preserve the giant 100-year old acacia tree that was dying of disease. This sculpture is echoed by at least 14 other ones inside the church that represent the stations of the cross - one of the most beautiful depictions of major events in the Bible. These are encased in glass and should live a long long time for future generations to marvel at. The church looks its age although I think it has been remodeled or restored several times. It's in baroque style and has a beautiful retablo. Some of the stonework might still be original, or at least very very old. There are also wonderful sculptures of saints mounted on walls, as well as a richly adorned santo entierro. The side pulpit has a life-sized figure of a smiling Pope Francis looking over the entire church (probably made out of corrugated paper or very thin wood) - a nice reminder of the Pope's last visit to the Philippines. A large courtyard opens out at the side of the church, with the statue of Mama Mary dominating the square. Other wonderful details of the church must be experienced to be fully admired.
