Located in a quaint community in Tanay, Rizal is Tinipak River, a hidden gem that boasts white marbled rocks and pristine water. The so-called hidden gem is not so hidden anymore, as it is one of the emerging popular tourist spots in Tanay, especially if you want to spare yourself from Mt. Daraitan’s 5-hour (est.) climb. One great plus about it is that it is only 2 HOURS AWAY FROM MANILA!

You and your barkada will definitely enjoy this trip for it has a lot of activities to offer:
