When we speak of Montalban, thoughts of Wawa come firsts. I wasn’t aware that there’s such a thing as Puray Falls in the vicinity of Rizal.

Barangay Puray is one of the most isolated areas in Montalban, Rizal and I didn’t know how the hell Elbert and our friend Azul discovered this place. Read More: http://weekendbiyahera.blogspot.com/2013/06/enroute-to-puray-falls.html

The place is ideal for motorcyclists and road trippers who want to go swimming and have picnics during the weekends. By car or motorcycle, the drive takes about an hour or less from QC without traffic. For mountain bikers, it’s more of a challenge, with the uphill ascents, but at least they can relax and cool down after a tiring ride. The whole complex has very good paved roads and secure parking areas for all types of vehicles.

From the parking area, you have to climb up 249 concrete steps to get to the foot of Palo Alto Falls, which is 1000 feet up. It sounds daunting at first, but really, it takes just about 5-8 minutes to get to the foot of the falls. Along the way, you’ll pass through thick forests beside a small stream, with water trickling down through the rocks. It’s very serene and peaceful, especially if you’re the only one there.  Read More:  http://www.traveling-up.com/palo-alto-falls-leisure-park-in-baras-rizal/
