Bulacan and Montalban Rizal
Mount Balagbag can be found between San Jose Del Monte Bulacan and Montalban, Rizal and has 400+ MASL.
The date was February 6, 2016. It was one fine Saturday and I invited some of my friends for this trip.
Our meeting place was in Cubao at 4 a.m. From Cubao, we then rode a bus going to Tungko.
Upon reaching Tungko, we rode a jeep going to Licao-licao.
And from Licao-licao, we rode a tricycle going to the registration, jump-off to Mount Balagbag.
We hired a guide and they were two female. There are Ate Ana and I forgot the name of the other one. Ha-ha!
After two hours, we reached the so called helipad summit of Mount Balagbag.
Good thing that it wasn’t so sunny that day. It was a very long climb and there were lesser tree on the trail going to Mount Balagbag. We were pretty amazed by the stone henge peg that it became our first stop for our photo op.
Then were headed to Mount Maranat to see the Maranat Falls.
The trail has so many assaults and a bit steep. So you must be very careful because you might end up rolling down just like one of our friends. Hahaha!
View was awesome! Rizal mountain ranges never ceased to amaze me. And it was heaven on earth, I promise!
Mount Maranat, here we come!
Then there’s a river where you can do some cliff diving. We ate our lunch here.
After having our lunch and some rest, we then headed to Maranat Falls.
It was just less than 30 minute hike from the river where we ate our lunch.
I so love it!
Photo op of course!
After an hour or two, we then decided to get back via traverse.
We met this guy named Arbie Pineda na kaya daw
Hope to see you again. Wala lang. Ha-ha-ha. I just love your eyes.
We got back to the jump-off at almost 6 in the evening.
It was a very long and tiring day but nevertheless it was so much fun!
Nice to meet you, Arbie Pineda. Hala.
