VERY IMPORTANT THINGS TO BRING ON YOUR HIKE GOING TO

MT. Daraitan

Flashlight or headlamp
Sun and Rain Protection (raincoat, arm sleeves, shades, cap, umbrella, etc.)
2 to 3 liters of bottled water
Trail foods
Personal Medications
Toiletries like bath soap, shampoo, toothbrushes, and tissue
Trash bags, extra plastic
Extra clothes and slippers
Extra cash for personal expenses
Towel
Camera
Waterproof bag during the rainy season
Packed lunch (optional)
Trekking pole (optional)

IMPORTANT REMINDERS:

If you go to Mt. Daraitan, don’t visit on weekends or holidays because it’s overcrowded there, I suggest you go on weekdays. Do not go during the rainy season because the trail becomes difficult and becomes a major climb that will require you more hours to finish the hike. I suggest before you visit Mt. Daraitan, check the weather forecast first and make sure it is sunny and clear. Pack light. This is very important. Bring only necessary things on the trail. The trail going to Mt.Daraitan summit is moderately steep and beautifully forested. Wear appropriate hiking shoes or trekking sandals. Don’t forget to waterproof your things. A waterproof bag can be bought near the Barangay Hall. I highly suggest hiking Mt. Daraitan during the summer season only or on a sunny day because the trail can become so muddy, slippery, and hard to navigate during the wet season. Also, you do not have to worry if you will have a good clearing at the summit.

HOW TO GET TO Mt. Daraitan

By commute:

Ride a van or jeep in front of EDSA-Shaw Boulevard or front of Starmall going to Tanay, Rizal. Alight at Jollibee Tanay and ride a tricycle going to the Barangay Daraitan registration site. Travel time for the tricycle ride is 30-40 minutes. Fare is 100 pesos per peron or 500 pesos per tricycle.

Another option is to ride a jeep in Aurora Boulevard, Cubao going to Antipolo Cogeo, alight at Cogeo public market, then ride a jeep going to Sampaloc, Tanay, then ride a tricycle going to the Barangay Daraitan registration site.

By Private vehicle:

Drive to Marcos Highway and follow the Tanay-Infanta Road. Make a left turn on the rough road that leads to Barangay Daraitan, then follow the road until you see the river crossing and registration hall which is located several meters past the river then park your vehicle. The approximate travel time is 2 to 2.5 hours.

Every hike is a blessing. Value it, cherish it, and treasure it. Not everyone has the luxury of time to hike. On the whole, I hope this Mt. Daraitan travel guide and reference has been helpful to you. Don’t forget to share this with your friends, companions, and loved ones if ever you plan to do the Mt. Daraitan day hike. Until next time. Have a pleasant day to you. Thanks for reading.

How To Get Clear, Flawless And Spotless Skin Using Vaseline

Find out all you need to know about petroleum jelly here, including its uses. 1. Remove eye makeup. Coat your lids, then gently swab with a tissue. 2. Highlight cheekbones. Fake a model's bone structure by patting and blending a tiny amount across cheekbones. The shine attracts light and creates a contoured effect. 3. Gloss your lips. Add red food dye -- or tastier cherry Kool-Aid powder -- to a dab of petroleum jelly for instant lip color. 4. Get an even tan. Dry skin tends to soak up excess tanning lotion, leaving skin splotchy. Smooth on petroleum jelly before using tanning products. 5. Preserve your fragrance. Dab on pulse points, like your wrists and the sides of your neck, before spritzing on perfume. Your scent will last the entire day. 6. Buff away dry skin. Combine with brown sugar to concoct an at-home exfoliator. 7. Tame unruly eyebrows. Dot petroleum jelly on your fingertip or a clean mascara wand and sweep across brows in one directio

I am a very picky person when it comes to service. I want it all. Fair price, good manners, nice environment and people who know what they're doing. I got all of that here and have never been happier with a Brazilian Rebond. My hair came out absolutely amazing. Eugene was pleasant and professional and did exactly what I wanted. I would highly recommend him to everyone. No one else is allowed to touch my hair now and I wouldn't be caught at another salon. The IloveCUT Salon team in Consolacion, Cebu is amazing. Excellent customer service very focused on costumer. Clean products and professional people. Highly recommended. Located in Consolacion. The CUT Salon is in facing FOODA.
