Tinipak River, a local attraction on the rise, is just 2 hours from Manila, offering a quick and refreshing getaway. Drive to Tanay, Rizal, for about 2 hours to reach the starting point. From there, it's a 30-minute easy hike to the campsite for a brief rest, followed by another 20 minutes to the river. The trail is flat and beginner-friendly. The river features white marbled rocks and clear waters, though it can be dry in the summer, making early rainy season visits more ideal. On the way back, stop by Pinto Art Museum, which showcases contemporary and native art in mission-style buildings set amongst lush gardens.
