aEMY'S WANDERLUST
"the gladdest moment in human life is the departure to unknown lands"
7/2/2014 0 Comments DARANAK FALLSIf you are looking for nature nearby the city, then Daranak Falls is for you. The tranquility and peacefulness of the place gives someone an incomparable comfort that any material thing can ever then replace. Situated in the town of Tanay, province in Rizal, you already know that you are in the right place when you hear the sound of waters relentlessly pouring down, the birds chirping and the blowing of the winds that inviting souls to enjoy the beauty of nature it can offers. Aside from its magnificent falls, Daranak is also known to be the Rock Balancing of the Philippines. From the entrance, the first thing that caught my attention was, those several fascinating pieces of a rock balancing art along its bank, which was perfectly balanced on top of one another in different positions. Daranak Falls main attraction is the 14 meter high waterfalls cascading to a deep catch basin that serves as a natural swimming pool. Aside from the large one, other small waterfalls can also be seen within the area with a strong water flowing that you can consider its strong flow a natural water massage, Most of us do not realize that being with nature is one of the most effective way of releasing stress and removing all the negativities this world had caused us. This also gives us time to reflect what went wrong and freshen up our perspectives. I really had a good time with this Daranak Falls getaway for after this, when I went back to work, it seems I was anew again. :) HOW TO GET THERE: There are series of passenger jeeps and vans lined up in front of Starmall Mandaluyong, near Shaw Boulevard MRT station. Board the one bound for Tanay and get off at Tanay church or the main terminal or Tanay Supermarket which is the final drop off point. Fare is 80php. There are also passenger jeeps in Cubao, Quezon City which are bound for Antipolo, Rizal. From Aurora Blvd., Cubao (in front of Gateway Mall), ride an FX/jeep to Antipolo. Fare approximately 30php – 40php. From Antipolo, board a passenger jeep bound for Tanay. Fare is approximately 20php – 30php. At Tanay Supermarket, bargain with the tricycle to take you to places around the town. Standard fare is 200php for Daranak Falls depends on what you have agreed upon. They seem to be pricey so it’s best to plan your itinerary to cover all of the places you wanna go to without spending so much. 600php seems to be a fare price if you plan to go to Calinawan cave, the Parola and Daranak Falls but that depend on the driver you are talking to.
