2026 Rizal Travel Guide: must-see attractions, popular food, hotels, transport & travel experiences (updated in August)

The municipality of Tanay is probably the must-go destination now in terms of mountain hiking due to its accessibility from our country’s center, Manila. And one of its newest attraction is Fresno Agro Forestry and Eco Tourist Campsite or also known as Mt. Kulis or “Bahay ni Cardo” that made fame from Coco Martin’s TV series “Ang Probinsyano”. The campsite is the perfect venue to catch a beautiful Sea of Clouds that won’t require a radical hiking to reach the top. Yes, you read it right. It was an easy hike (pabebe hike as they say) that you can only reach Mt. Kulis peak by around 15 minutes from the registration When we contacted the campsite through their official facebook page, we were given options where to pitch our tent for our overnight stay. First option is on Mt. Kulis where “Bahay ni Kardo” is located and where most of the campers spend the night. Second option is in Sambong Peak which is the peak next to Mt. Kulis or third option is on Noah’s Ark which is our main purpose of visiting. We heard and read about that as early as 5am there are already a long line of people wishing to ride the arc and take pictures on it. So we decided to take the third option so we could be the first in line to ride the arc and as recommended, this vantage point has the higher chance of seeing the Sea of Clouds. #summervacation#hikingtrails#urbanexplorer

Best Summer Gate Away! A solemn place to relax away from busy city. Super clear and clean river water surrounded by beautiful mountain scenery. If you're looking for a quite, peaceful place to unwind this place is a must! When I opened the bamboo door. I said..... Aaaaaaaah Perfect. The simplicity of the whole area is amazing. River is crystal clear the whole place is so relaxing, My family love it I personally loved to seat near the Bon Fire #urbanexplorer #summervacation #summervacation#beachvacation#hikingtrails#hotelstay#urbanexplorer

Restaurant Dap-Ayan is another place to visit if you want to experience an open area dining experience. The site offers lovely Filipino decors.
