200 steps all the way up to Grotto. Featuring a panoramic view of Tanay proper and a shrine. The road to the shrine is too steep for tricycles, so you'll have to walk there from Sampaloc Road.
People visiting Grotto offered candles and prayers, also it serves as excercise area for locals.
Glendale, Sarah plus Me.
The Grotto of the Virgin Mary
Candles offered by the visitors of the Grotto. Unfortunately, we forgot to bring candles however we offered prayers for the virgin Mary.
Kuya Umen, taking us to our next destinatiion, -Calinawan Cave.

Kuya Omen and Nanay. Sobrang tahimik ng lugar, nanay said that their place has no electricity and they are only using generator. Nanay also owns a small tindahan, which is also used for many local TV shows.
With Nanay and our kind tricyle driver Kuya Umen.
Entering the cave, but first we need to take some precautionary measure to ensure safety of the visitor as well as the cave.

The guide said that there is one photographer who used this spot to a photo contest and fortunately won the prize.
Welcoming us to Daranak Falls.
chibog muna before we enter the Daranak Falls. For visitors like us, it is great that there are stalls like this.
That side of the water without peopl, is 20 feet deep.
Rock balancing is one of the attraction at Daranak Falls.
Like any other city in Rizal, tricycle is one of the most common form of transportation at town.
