Hello there dear Hivers!
It's Mooon and I'm here to share another adventure and my remarkable experience exploring the Puray Falls.
Puray Falls is a hidden gem in Rizal. A nature lover and adventurer will surely love this place.
This serene waterfall offers a perfect escape from the hustle and bustle of city life, providing a tranquil retreat where you can reconnect with nature.
Puray Falls is located in Barangay Puray, Rodriguez, Rizal. The journey to the falls involves a mix of driving and trekking. It takes about 2-3 hours from Manila to reach the jump-off point by car. The road is surely though, so a vehicle with good ground clearance is recommended. Once you arrive at the jump-off point, prepare for a scenic trek through lush forests and river crossings, which can take around 1-2 hours depending on your pace.
The trek to Puray Falls is moderately challenging but incredibly rewarding. As you make your way through the trail, you'll be surrounded by verdant greenery and the soothing sounds of nature. The path includes several river crossings, so it's advisable to wear sturdy, waterproof footwear. Along the way, you'll encounter local flora and fauna, adding to the immersive experience.
The view excited me; it looked like an adventure awaited, and I was ready to unlock a brand-new experience.
While my colleagues were resting on a huge boulder, I took a stolen shot lol! We take a few minutes to rest and recharge.
In the middle of our exploration, we saw this vintage Mitsubishi car and I had no idea how this car was placed in the middle of the forest but never mind don't want to overthink it HAHA.
I already sighted the falls from a distance, the splash of waterfalls, and the temperature turns freezing at some point.
Upon reaching Puray Falls, you'll be greeted by the sight of cascading waters plunging into a clear, inviting pool. The falls are approximately 15 meters high, creating a picturesque scene perfect for photography. The pool at the base of the falls is ideal for a refreshing swim, especially after the trek. The cool, crystal-clear water provides a rejuvenating experience, making the effort to get there well worth it.
There are also transients and cottages near the falls so you don't have to worry about your things or if you want to stay, gather and eat food together.
The best time to visit Puray Falls is during the dry season to avoid the slippery trails and strong river currents.
Pack light but bring essentials such as water, snacks, a first-aid kit, and a waterproof bag for your belongings.
Don't forget your camera to capture the stunning scenery!
Important reminders:
As with any natural site, it's important to practice Leave No Trace principles. Take all your trash with you and respect the local environment to help preserve its beauty.
Exploring Puray Falls is a rewarding adventure that offers a perfect blend of physical activity and natural beauty. Whether you're an avid hiker or simply looking for a peaceful retreat, Puray Falls is a destination that promises to leave you with unforgettable memories. So, lace up your hiking boots, pack your essentials, and set out on an adventure to discover this hidden paradise in Rizal.
That's all for me, thank you for dropping by.
See you on my next blog 😉
Mooon out! 🤙
