Mini Adventure in Panguil River Eco Park

          It's summer! The temperature in manila everyday range from 30°C to 34°C, and this is the perfect time to relax and enjoy the heat. Last Sunday, my loves' family planned a family outing to celebrate his uncle's birthday. We gather at his uncle's place in Binangonan and since we rented a van, the transportation is hassle-free. I think its about 2 hours to get there from Binangonan because we did a stop over to eat a quick & light breakfast (and a bit of picture taking, too). 

          We reached the eco park at past 8am. Took some pictures while we're waiting for registration.

Entrance Fees:

Day Rate (6am - 6pm) —  Php 40.00

Night Rate (6pm - 6am) —  Php 80.00

I think it's FREE for the drivers because almost everyone in the registration area would say that they are drivers. ☺

Other Fees:

Cottage — Php 300.00

River Tubing — Php 30.00 (I call it Salbabida Ride in the River)

Trekking to Ambon-Ambon Falls w/ Tour Guide — Php 60.00 (the group should have a minimum of 6 persons)

Main Attractions:

Hanging Bridge

Swimming Pool

River Tubing

Trekking to Ambon-Ambon Falls

Man-made Dam (where you can slide)

Camping (dunno the rates but I saw some mountaineers & tents)

Pavilion Hall (for events)

             At first I was satisfied in making "tampisaw" in the river but later on we decided to go to Ambon-Ambon Falls. We form a group of 6 and other 3 people came with us. I remembered my tour in Kayangan Lake, Palawan because we also have a tour guide with us and also, you cannot go to the Ambon-Ambon without a tour guide. 

So we walked or rather trek (up and down) for few minutes. 

Shaky hands, sorry!

We have to ride a balsa to pass from big rocks to another. We rode 3 balsa. If you know how to swim (which I'm not) no need to ride the balsa.

          After those tiring walks & exciting balsa rides, we reached the magnificent Ambon-Ambon Falls. Forgive me for being so amazed, this is my first time to experience a water fall! Haha!

My favorite pic. As if my spirit is separating from my body. COOL!

Some few tips I can give to those who want to try this cheap yet exciting one day activity:

• Best days to visit is during weekdays. They're jampacked on weekends.
• The tour guide said that it is better to do the trekking in the morning so you can stay longer in the falls.
• When we came back I only changed clothes because the nearest restroom in our area don't have shower and I not sure if there is one. 
• They clean & lock the restrooms early (like 4pm)

          So there! I really enjoyed my Sunday with everyone. I just hope that they improve their facilities especially the restrooms. Over all, its a great experience! ☺
