Ten Cents to Heaven (Tanay, Rizal)


The Camp is strategically located on top of the mountain in Tanay, Rizal and is the only one of its kind offering a closer and perfect view of Sierra Madre mountain ranges and Laguna de Bay. 
Because of this, Ten Cents to Heaven Leisure Camp is becoming a popular destination for group team building, company outings, seminars and special events such as weddings and more.

The place is also known with its one of a kind extreme adventure like zipline and hanging bridge which is the longest in Luzon.

Calinawan Cave (Tanay, Rizal)

Calinawan cave is a cave found in Brgy. Tandang, Kutyo, Tanay Rizal - it is named after the historical event where Filipino settled and agreed on their disputes between Spanish Revolutionaries, the agreement promises "linaw" a Filipino word for clarity (the bisayan word "kalinawan" means "peace" suits very well too). From what I have seen, the part that was opened for spelunking is just a small part - and yes it is, according to our guide the cave is composed of seven levels and only two were open as the others are not yet explored. The cave was privately managed until  last year (2012)when they collaborated with DOT.

Currently, the cave  can be toured in a 20-30 minutes walk depending on your pace, they charge 100.00 per tour guide and 20.00 for the entrance fee per head. We were nine that time and was suggested to be accompanied by two tour guides.

Batlag Falls (Tanay, Rizal)




                                                            
BATLAG FALLS

Tanay, Rizal 
Height: 10 meter        s
Jump off point: Brgy. Plaza Aldea, Municipality of Tanay
Trail length: 10 minutes
Entrance fee: P20.00

Further up from Daranak Falls is its sister upstream, Batlag Falls. Set in a dense forest, with nearby tables and cottages, this waterfall is set on a unique rock formation, with the water following its unpredictable contours. This departure from the conventional picture of a waterfall, coupled with its more serene setting, makes Batlag Falls a sight to behold.

To reach it: There is a sign that says “Batlag Falls” near the Daranak Falls pool. Take the cemented foothpath which will ascend into a makeshift gate, where another P20 will have to be paid. A forest will ensue, and two waterfalls, each with a catchbasin. The smaller one, on the left, has a veil-like cascade whereas the larger one, as mentioned, has an unusual configuration. You may swim in both pools although you have to be careful as the floor of the pool is likewise unusually shaped, with sharp rocks abruptly jutting out.

You can go even further up to the origin of Batlag Falls. Here the stream is clearer. Locals tell of waterfalls deeper in the mountains of Tanay and outlying towns.
