Last holy week, I took advantage of the opportunity to explore Tanay Rizal. It is a beautiful part of Rizal with numerous majestic mountains and stunning vistas. I was amazed by the vastness of the landscape and spent hours trekking through the trails, appreciating nature at its finest. The fresh air and calming atmosphere made it a truly memorable experience.
Tanay is a great place for exploring, with many exciting attractions. From the majestic Rizal Mountain Range to the serene Laguna de Bay, plenty of sights will catch your eye. Other popular places to explore include Daranak Falls, Tanay Church, and the Casile Resort and Adventure Park. With so much to see and do in Tanay, it’s an ideal travel destination for nature lovers looking for a unique adventure.
Below is the destination we explore on our trip to Tanay that are worth seeing.

First, we visited Treasure Mountain, which offered us stunning mountain views. Then, we hiked up Lambingan Hills to take in the breathtaking scenery. Afterward, we went to Regina Rica for some spiritual healing and relaxation. Finally, we ended our day trip with a refreshing dip at Daranak Falls. It was indeed a wonderful day!

Lambingan Hills
Exploring the Lambingin Hills in Tanay was a great experience with an entrance fee of just 100PHP. It’s accessible to all. We had a short hike to the top of the hills and were rewarded with breathtaking views of green mountains and fresh, clean air. It was so refreshing to be surrounded by nature and appreciate its beauty. I recommend it as a great way to escape the busy city life and enjoy the tranquility.
Regina Rica
Regina Rica is a popular place for devotees seeking healing and peace. It is an expansive area to explore, so it is important to bring an umbrella and plenty of water if you plan on taking a long walk. The giant statue of Regina Rica can be found after quite a long trek, with the church located even further away. The restaurant in the area offers some delicious food, sure to satisfy any hungry traveler! The souvenir shop in Regina Rica, is a great place to find unique and meaningful gifts. It is located conveniently near the parking area and sells various items, such as rosaries, prayer cards, and other Catholic accessories. Prices are reasonable, making it an ideal spot for those looking for spiritual gifts or traditional souvenirs from their visit to the sanctuary. When visiting the huge statue of Regina Rosarii, visitors are encouraged to donate towards the upkeep and maintenance of the site. These donations go towards keeping the area clean and providing amenities.
Daranak Falls
We finished our trip by visiting Daranak Falls, the most famous waterfalls in Tanay. The area is well preserved as an attraction for tourists to enjoy. The water was cold and clean, coming directly from the mountain. You can even take a dip if you’d like to experience the cold water of the falls firsthand.
If you’re living in Rizal or Metro Manila, it’s worth taking the time to explore the natural beauty of Tanay Rizal. As a nature lover, I can assure you that this place offers many breathtaking sights to see! Let’s help boost tourism in this area by visiting and respecting its surroundings – remember to leave nothing but footprints. 🙂
