Cari amici, da piccola sognavo di fare l’esploratore. Ricordo con nostalgia le tante escursioni fatte con i miei fratelli nella provincia di Rizal: Daraitan è un posto incantevole lungo le pendici della montagna e poco distante da Manila! Di quegli anni conservo sempre lo spirito della scoperta.
Daraitan in Tanay, Rizal, is a famous spot for adventurers because of its hiking trail at the heart of the Sierra Madre Mountain Range and the enchanting Tinipak River. It’s just a few hours away from the eastern border of Metro Manila, too, making it a favorite weekend destination. If you’re looking to spend the night amid towering coconut trees and near the river, Bulod Campsite offers glamping tents for four for P6,000 per night.
The campsite has four 17-foot bell tents, each with airbeds and camping lights. You can bring food, but you can also order from their kitchen and share a meal with fellow travelers in their mess hall. Coffee is unlimited, just in case you need that extra jolt for your adventure. You can bring your pets, but they stay in a separate room dedicated to four-legged friends.
Bulod Campsite emphasizes that they’re part of a community program that provides livelihood to the local community. And since their location, Sitio Masayo, is part of Daraitan’s ancestral domain, guests are reminded to respect the locals and the area.
To go to Bulod Campsite, you can take the public van or drive to Tanay. Commuters can ride a tricycle to Sitio Masayo, walk for 10 minutes, and take a boat to cross the river. You also have the option to have a 4×4 trail experience with Bulod’s tour guides.
Bulod Campsite is in Sitio Masayo, Barangay Daraitan, Tanay, Rizal. Rates start at P6,000 per night. To book, visit Bulod Campsite on Airbnb.
