Established in 2010, Pinto Art Museum was born from the art collection of its founder, neurologist Dr. Joven Cuanang. From the museum’s name pinto , which translates to ‘door’, the aim is to bridge diverse cultures and perspectives through arts.

The museum presents various types of arts — sculptures, paintings, installations, mixed media, and more — which revolve around religion, historical events, and different modernist movements. It also showcases the works of Filipino contemporary artists. Another popular feature that you should not miss when you visit is its in-house restaurant, the Cafe Rizal .

Designed by artist Antonio Leaño, the whole museum complex is composed of white structures enclosed in a two-hectare botanical garden. It exudes a serene atmosphere.

The Calinawan Cave is a series of caves located in Barangay Tandang Kutyo in Tanay, Rizal. It contains different levels and chambers that tourists can explore. It is also known as a historical site since it was used as a hideout by Filipinos during World War II. Today, it is a popular filming location for movies and TV shows.

Avilon Zoo is a 7.5-hectare facility that cares for the largest collection of animals in the Philippines. This family-friendly center is located in the town of Rodriguez and has over 3,000 specimens of exotic wildlife under its roof. Their impressive collection consists of more than 500 types of mammals, birds, reptiles, freshwater fish, amphibians, and invertebrates. 

The center also houses a large array of animals that are endemic to our country. The majority of these local fauns were born in captivity under the zoo's off-site conservation program. Visitors are free to explore the facility on their own, but the staff also offers guided tours of the zoo. Among the animals they take care of are the Northern Luzon Cloud Rat, Philippine Falconet, Bornean Orangutan, and Young Philippine Carabao. 

While you get a closer look at these beautiful animals, the center invites tourists to feed some species as well for a more friendly encounter.

13. Angono-Binangonan Petroglyphs 

Interior of the Angono-Binangonan Petroglyphs

The Angono-Binangonan Petroglyphs are an important historic site because it is believed to be the oldest known artworks in the country. These ancient images were carved into a wall of solid rock in the mountainside of Angono and Binangonan.

They span 25 meters of the wall and measure up to 3.7 meters from the ground. The images depict 127 human and animal figures, which are said to be associated with magic and healing.  

While archaeologists estimate that they were made during the Neolithic period, the petroglyphs were only discovered back in 1965 by the late National Artist of the Philippines, Carlos V. Francisco. He himself was a muralist and a native of Angono.

Following his breakthrough, the National Museum of the Philippines built a view deck where visitors could safely admire the ancient piece of art. Today, it is recognized as one of the Philippines' National Cultural Treasures.

Travelers riding ATVs in Rizal, Philippines

Another great activity to try in this province is ATV riding across the rugged terrain and muddy trails of lush forests. Visitors can take part in this adrenaline-pumping activity at the ATV Adventures Rizal.

It is located along Sapinit Road in Antipolo, the provincial capital. Travelers, including families and large groups, can choose to ride these 4x4 vehicles across different trails and offer safety demos for beginners. 

Each trail comes with the service of a tour guide who will ensure your safety as you traverse the rough paths. Certain trails also include treks to stunning rivers and waterfalls that visitors can take a refreshing dip in.

Besides swimming, you can also go fun boating along the river or even go camping in one of the campsites on their overnight trail. As you ride through the vast forests and rocky roads, you can avail of photo and video services as well to capture your thrilling adventure.

The waterfalls at Hinulugang Taktak, Rizal

Hinulugang Taktak is a 70-feet-tall waterfall that is nestled in Antipolo City. It is one of the nearest waterfalls from Manila and is about 84 feet in width. The stunning waterscape was named as such because a large bell (taktak) was dropped (hinulog) into it in the 15th or 16th century.

The bell was thrown there because locals disliked how loud it was when it was rung. In the following years, the area surrounding the falls has been designated as a protected area and a national park. 

Though pollution in the 1990s made the water unsafe for recreational purposes such as swimming, visitors can still take a dip in the pool close to the falls. A cemented viewing deck has been built as well so tourists can get a better view of the falling water.

The whole park spans 3.2 hectares and also features attractions such as hanging bridges amid the canopy of trees in the park. 

The waterfalls of Wawa Dam, Rizal

Wawa Dam is another spot that is beloved by locals for the cool water that falls from it. The dam is located in the Montalban Gorge along the Marikina River. It was originally built to provide water to Manila back in 1909 during the American colonial period.

However, it was eventually abandoned in 1968 after the Angat Dam was opened. Since then, it has become a popular spot for swimming and hiking. 

The water rushing from the top of the dam also makes it look like a large waterfall and is a great attraction to take photos of. Travelers can also take a dip in the portion of the Marikina River near the dam to enjoy the cool waters.

After swimming, you can rent one of the bamboo cottages situated at the foot of the dam to have a meal while soaking your feet in the running water. Lush greens also surround the dam as it is part of Pamitinan Protected Landscape.

To get a panoramic view of Antipolo City, the province's capital, look no further than the Cloud 9 Hotel and Resort. This resort features three buildings that contain a total of 78 rooms and a swimming pool, but its most noteworthy attraction is its 360(degree symbol) View Deck. 

It sits on the top of a towering building that travelers can only reach by crossing a hanging bridge that connects to a smaller building. Once you set foot on the deck, you are rewarded with a breathtaking view of the cityscape. One of the best times to visit is in the late afternoon so you can watch the sunset. 

Aside from the viewing deck, visitors can also cross the resort's metal walkway. Thanks to the lush plants that grow along its railings, the path resembles a tunnel made of leaves and has become a popular spot to take photos in. After taking in the gorgeous views of the cityscape, you can then enjoy a meal at the resort's restaurant that serves an array of Filipino dishes. 

8. Mt. Pamitinan and Mt. Binicayan 

Rizal is also well-known as a top destination for hiking in the Philippines . It's perfect for hikers of all levels, thanks to a multitude of mountains that are found here. Two of the best peaks in this province are the two limestone mountains called Mt. Pamitinan and Mt. Binicayan.

Mt. Pamitinan is located in the Pamitinan Protected Landscape that also consists of Wawa Dam. Meanwhile, Mt. Binicayan stands across the Marikina River.

Both peaks have their own designated hiking trails that lead up to their respective summits. Since the two paths involve climbing past rough limestone rocks, it is best to bring gloves to help you get a better grip on them.

Once you reach the summit of either mountain, you will be rewarded with a gorgeous, panoramic view of the vibrant forestry lining the Marikina River and the neighboring mountains. The best time to go on hiking tours to these peaks is in the early morning, so you can also sit back and enjoy the sunrise from more than 423 meters above sea level.

The designated hiking trail spans 600 meters and will take you through the mountain's abundant forest. Travelers will also pass some jagged limestones on the way up, but there are bamboo railings that you can hold on to. Your guide will show how to maneuver through the areas as well. 

The summit is 739 meters above sea level and offers a grand view of the Tinipak River and other mountains in the Sierra Madre range. Travelers can also set up camp here to watch the sunset and sunrise from this mountaintop.

The best time to go on a day hike up Mt. Daraitan is on the weekdays so that you can avoid the larger crowds on weekends. You can also join a Mt. Daraitan hiking tour that includes a trip to Tinipak River. 

Windmills in Pililla Wind Farm, Rizal

On the rolling hills of Pililla sit 27 giant wind turbines that provide clean energy to Manila. These large structures are as tall as 33-story buildings or 125 meters and bring clean wind energy to approximately 66,000 households in our country's capital city. Tourists go here to enjoy the cool, strong gusts of wind that the turbines turn into electricity and to admire the towering fans as well.

The Antipolo Cathedral sits atop a hill in Antipolo City from where visitors can get a panoramic view of the cityscape below. This church was completed in 1632 and has been a well-known destination for travelers since it houses the image of Our Lady of Peace and Good Voyage.

Among the many visitors who paid respect to the wooden sculpture was our country's national hero, the late Jose Rizal, who came with his father back in 1868. Locals also go there to get their new cars blessed or before a long trip in hopes of getting to their destinations safely. 

However, the cathedral also had its fair share of troubles and was destroyed during World War II. Following the war, architect Jose L. de Ocampo designed a new shrine that was completed in 1954.

One of the most important events that are celebrated here is the commemorative thanksgiving mass that takes place on the first Tuesday of May. This holy ceremony marks the start of the pilgrimage season and started back in 1947.

Pinto Art Museum is an open-air exhibition space that is located inside a two-hectare botanical garden in Antipolo City. This gallery was founded back in 2010 by Filipino neurologist Dr. Joven Cuanang so he could share his large art collection with the public. It's also one of the top tourist spots in Antipolo . 

As an avid advocate of the arts, Dr. Cuanang's collection features paintings and sculptures from Filipino artists such as Elmer Borlongan, Geraldine Javier, and Marina Cruz, among others. The museum also consists of artworks that date back to the Spanish colonial period in the Philippines.

The whole collection is also spread across various white buildings that resemble Mediterranean architecture. While you are free to roam around the museum, the staff also offers guided tours for those looking to dive deeper into the history of the pieces.

As you make your way through the various exhibits, you can also enjoy a delicious meal and a rich cup of coffee at the in-house coffee shop called Cafe Rizal. Travelers can also visit a minimalist chapel inside the museum grounds that contain unique statues.

Hikers in Masungi Georeserve, Rizal

Visitors can explore the whole area by walking on hanging bridges above the limestone formations. The paths are made of sturdy metal to ensure the safety of travelers and the natural landscape as well. 

The most popular attraction here is the Sapot (Cobweb in English), a suspended metal netting above limestones.

The Museo was established for the people of Morong as well as for all Filipinos. The Museo showcases the rich history and culture of the Moronguenos who descended from the river people and lakeshore dwellers around the Laguna de Bay (now Laguna Lake) long before the Spaniards came to colonize our land.  They had interacted with Chinese traders who left artefacts and wares that were later discovered buried by the mouth of the Morong River.  Many of these wares have designs and markings typical of those made during the Sung and Ming Chinese Dynasties and are evidences of a fair sized thriving settlement with a presumably robust local economy, centuries ago, inferring that our forefathers dealt and intermingled with their Asian neighbors.

Mt Nagpatong is known for a massive limestone rock formation standing on its summit. You can climb it to catch better views of the surrounding landscapes.

It’s also a good viewpoint for glimpsing of the sunrise and the sea of clouds. If you want to see these, start trekking by 4 AM. Mt Nagpatong is one of the most frequented hiking tourist spots in Rizal.

  • Registration Fee: Php 100 per person

15. Hinulugang Taktak Falls

Hinulugang Taktak Falls is one of the top tourist spots/destinations in Rizal Province.

Hinulugang Taktak Falls used to be a magnificent wonder with pure and crystal-clear waters, creating rainbows. But the growth of settlements upstream has caused the gradual deterioration of the river feeding the falls.

That has rendered it unfit for swimming, so you could only take a picture with it as the background.

Hopefully, the local authorities will continue cleaning the river and addressing pollution sources to bring it back to its former beauty and bounty.

  • Location/Jump-off: Taktak Road, Antipolo, 1870
  • Entrance Fee: Php 30 (Adults), Php 15 (Students), Php 100 (Foreigner)

16. Angono Forest Park

Angono Forest Park is one of the remaining natural reserves in Rizal and one of its off-beaten tourist spots. As you explore it, you’ll chance on a variety of endangered species such as wild pigs, snakes, and wild ducks. Plus, you’ll get to see orchids and other blooming flowers.

This is a must-see tourist destination in Rizal if you’re chasing extreme adventure or thrill. There is no entrance fee. But do donate some amount as that goes a long way in protecting the forest. 

  • Location/Jump-off: Angono, Rizal Province

17. Mt Binacayan

tourist spot in morong rizal

Another great spot to chance on a mind-blowing view of the sunrise and the sea of clouds is Mt Binacayan. Although it’s generally a minor climb, you still need to prepare as you’ll trail on challenging terrains.

But it’s all worth it as you relish the breathtaking views from the summit. When you do chance on a sea of clouds, you’ll feel like you’re floating among them.

  • Location/Jump-off:  Rodriquez

18. Pamitian Cave

Pamitian Cave is one of the top tourist spots/destinations in Rizal Province.

Pamitian Cave is a walking distance from Wawa Dam; thus, it makes up for a good side trip for adventurers.

Located in the scenic foothills of grand Sierra Madre, the cave is said to be where Bonifacio initiated new members of the Katipunan movement.

Bonifacio is a Filipino hero credited for the liberation of the Philippines from the 300-years of Spanish rule. His charcoal writings on the cave’s wall are still visible up to this day. It’s, therefore, one of the historical tourist spots in Rizal.

  • Location/Jump-off: Rodriguez

Otherwise known as Saint Ildefonsus of Toledo Parish Church, Tanay Church is one of Rizal’s popular pilgrimage sites for Catholics. It houses a bone relic of San Ildefonso.

It’s no wonder why thousands come here to pray every year. The church also boasts of a stunning architecture dating back to the Spanish years.

Otherwise called as the National Shrine of Our Lady of Peace and Voyage, the Antipolo Cathedral is a recognizable landmark with its iconic dome. It’s a favorite pilgrimage site among Catholics, especially during Holy Week.

Although in recent years, the church management did some renovations, they still maintain the original design.

  • Location/Jump-off: Old Boso-Boso, Brgy San Jose

22. Regina Rica

Regina Rica is another popular pilgrimage site in Rizal. It has a huge statue of The Virgin Mary with lush landscapes. It’s a perfect place for spiritual seekers or those who want to nourish their faith in God.

Others come here for meditation because of the rustic setting. It’s a must-see site during Catholic holidays such as Holy Week.

  • Location/Jump-off: Sampaloc, Tanay
  • Note: The place is closed on Tuesday.

23. Pinto Art Museum

tourist spot in morong rizal

Pinto Art Museum is one of the most frequented tourist spots/destinations in Rizal. It boasts of architectural designs and landscapes reminiscent of the Mediterranean region in Europe.

Here, you’ll find six art galleries with fascinating paintings, art installations, and sculptures made from priced materials. Sure, the museum also showcases both modern and old Filipino artworks.

What I love about this museum is that artworks are not enclosed inside glasses. That means you can have a close look at each of them and appreciate the details. Just don’t touch it, please. Oh yes, you can also take pictures unlike in most other museums.

  • Location/Jump-off: 1 Sierra Madre Street, Grand Heights, Antipolo
  • Entrance Fee: Php 200 (adults), Php 180 (senior, PWDs), Php 100 (students)

You’ll learn much about the past culture here and, of course, the rich history.

  • Location/Jump-off: Pilila

25. Casa Santa Museum

If you want another bizarre Christmas experience, then check out Casa Santa Museum, a top tourist spot in Rizal. It displays thousands of Santa Claus motifs and themes coming from various countries. Its collection is one of the most extensive in the world.

You’ll surely love strolling here and seeing the different faces of Santa Claus. Before visiting, however, make sure you set prior arrangements via their website or Facebook Page.

26. Angono Petroglyphs

tourist spot in morong rizal

Considered as the oldest of its kind in the Philippines, Angono Petroglyphs gives us a picture of the country’s first inhabitants. It dates back to as far as 3000 B.C.!

If you want to know more about how these ancient people lived and their way of communication, you should come to see these priceless petroglyphs. 

  • Location/Jump-off: Angono

27. Avilon Zoo

I’m not fond of zoos because, generally, this industry has caused the endangerment of a lot of wildlife species.

But there are zoos that have been advocating for wildlife conservation, and some became refuge sites for animals that lost their homes to deforestation and other human activities.

I hope Avilon Zoo is doing that. Thankfully, I heard that the animals there are well taken care of. Still, we hope that they will soon be released to the wild since that is their home.

  • Location/Jump-off: Barrio San Isidro, Rodriguez

28. Nemiranda Arthouse and Gallery

tourist spot in morong rizal

If you’re an art savvy, you’ll surely find this a perfect escape to your world. Most of the artworks displayed here feature Filipino folklore characters, including gods and unseen spirits.

You’ll learn a lot about the rich stories of the country’s different provinces. Yes, it’s not only the Greeks that have stories about deities.

Our country is rich with such, and this gallery will make you realize that. It’s one of the must-see tourist destinations in Rizal for art lovers.

29. Pililla Wind Farm

Pililla Wind Farm is one of the top tourist spots/destinations in Rizal Province.

You don’t need to travel to Ilocos Norte to glimpse of giant windmills. If you’re coming from Manila, ride your way to Rizal, and you’ll find 27 giant wind turbines scattered on rolling landscapes. Collectively, these power thousands of households in the province.

Personally, this is one of my favorite tourist spots in Rizal because it solidifies the campaign to transition to renewable energy. From here, you can also catch scenic views of Rizal’s plains and the Laguna De Bay. 

  • Location/Jump-off: Pililla, Rizal Province

30. PACEM Eco-Park

PACEM means Peace And CARE For Earth Ministry. It’s one of the best tourist attractions/destinations in Rizal. It features a mini-forest, organic gardens, a butterfly collection, wildlife sanctuaries, and much more. It’s a perfect getaway for those who wish to experience spirituality and serenity.

  • Location/Jump-off: Brgy San Juan, Jala-Jala, Rizal Province

32. Wawa Dam

Wawa Dam is one of the top tourist spots/destinations in Rizal Province.

Considered one of the oldest dams in the Philippines, the Wawa dam was the first of its kind supplying Manila. With the construction of the Angat dam, however, the Wawa dam has been abandoned.

Today, it’s becoming a tourist attraction in Rizal because of scenic mountain and river views. You can pose on the base of Wawa Falls as the cascading waters give you a rejuvenating massage.

Or try boating with bamboo rafts and swimming on the crystal-clear waters. There are boulders all around, which you can use as diving or jumping platforms.

  • Location/Jump-off: Rodriguez, Rizal Province
