Contributed by The Wandering Roomies

So, here’s another ‘Where To Go’ post! This time, we’ll look around my hometown – Antipolo!❤

Here’s a confession though, although I lived in Antipolo all my life, I still haven’t explored it enough to know all the gems it has. But here are a few that I’ve been to:

1. Pinto Art

A super must visit! Especially if you’re an art lover or someone who is simply looking for a good place to chill. I’ve been here for three times and I’m still willing go back. I really love the artworks + the ambience of the place.

If you’re up for a semi-adventure while spotting figures that resemble Mama Mary or the Holy Family – then this is a place for you. According the guides, their peak season is usually during the Holy Week. Also, there’s an option to have a short hike up and see the view at the peak along with the big cross.

In my opinion, this is more of a side trip rather than the main place to go to – well, unless you really love Christmas. The museum is open all year round so if you want to feel the Christmas season, then give it a visit. Their Christmas village collection is my favourite.

is another side trip or ‘worth-a-short-visit’ in Antipolo. It had been a while since we went; at that time the park had just reopened so the entrance fee was free. You can have lunch in the park – as long as you clean after to help maintain it.

5. Parish of the Immaculate Heart of Mary

There are many churches in Antipolo but I’m not really going to list them all down. I only included this because it’s just a few minutes away from . Plus, I really like this church because it’s an open one – like you can see and appreciate nature and pray at the same time.
