With our fast-paced modern lives in the city, it’s easy to forget that a quick trip to the mountains can help us relax and reflect on our daily routines. While urban life can be toxic, Metro Manila residents are fortunate that many nature destinations surround the city. Visit Mount Purro Nature Reserve in Antipolo and reward yourself with a relaxing escape. Nestled at the foot of the Sierra Madre Mountain Range, this forest trail sprawls across the location and links its guests to the surrounding wilderness. Explore the vast greens of the park with your English-speaking guide who will gladly take you to the highest point of the trail. You can also opt for a more calming experience beside the pool. In partnership with MPNR Foundation, every visit contributes to the dream of rehabilitating the Upper Marikina Watershed and empowering the indigenous Dumagat tribe. Don’t forget to bring a camera with you to capture Instagram-worthy moments and sights as you stroll around the area.
