Daranak Falls, The Pride of Tanay, Rizal
Daranak falls is located on the mountainous place in Tanay, Rizal, and it is one of the Pride of Tanay, Rizal. Daranak Falls is not only the Natural Falls visiting by tourist, on top of Daranak Falls there is another Falls named Batlag Falls, there is also a swimming pool beside it.
Daranak Falls and Batlag Falls are one of the famous shooting locations since the early years of Philippine cinema, and today it is that is still used as a shooting location from TV series Mulawin, Encantadia, Panday and many other TV shows.
Daranak Falls is a Government owned landmark while Batlag Falls is privately owned, so entering Daranak falls not a problem with its very cheap entrance but in Batlag falls the entrance is not very affordable especially when you are travelling on a tight budget.
So how do you go to Daranak Falls? Daranak Falls is 2 hours to 2 and a half hour away from Manila.
If you are travelling commute here is how. You can a ride a Jeep or Passenger Van going to Tanay in Edsa Central and on Star Mall Shaw, and the last stop of it is in Tanay Town Market, from the tanay Market you can ride a Trike ( a tree wheel jeepney) or a tricycle going to Daranak Falls, you have also to negotiate the Trike driver or a tricycle Driver to pick-up you on the time that you want to leave the Daranak Falls, because there was no transport available coming back to the Tanay Town Market, and I suggest to you to ride a Trike rather that a Tricycle because the tricycle cannot bring you at the Gate of the Daranak falls, and you will have to take a 6-10 minutes walk before you can be at the Entrance Gate.
There is no available local map for the directions of it.
At the Daranak Falls you can feel the beauty of Nature the wind and the Large Tree on that place, so when you are there please respect our nature, and observe cleanliness
