MINALUNGAO
MINALUNGAO NATIONAL PARK
Minalungao is a protected area, located in
the outskirts of General Tinio, Nueva Ecija. It endowed with nature’s beauty
and preserve by its seclusion.The park is covered an area of 2018 hectares is one of the
few remaining natural environments in the region, it features a breathtaking view of the narrow
and deep Penaranda River, where the green color of the river blend perfectly
with limestone formation on both side of the river.
We took North Luzon Express Way (NLEX) Exit at Sta Rita then we follow the road Cagayan Valley highway. Upon reaching the town proper of
Gapan Nueva Ecija, we went straight gong to General Tinio (Papaya). There were not any marker that would indicate where the park
is when we got to General Tinio. That was the struggle we encountered when we
got there but people in the area were very nice and approachable so we later found ourselves
heading to the Minalungao Trail Road.
The landscape dramatically changed from buildings and houses
to mountains and green pastures. I was very sleepy for most of the day
but adrenaline filled my spirit when we were trudging the rough road towards
the Nueva Ecija leg of the Sierra Madre mountains.
We got to the entrance of the park and was halted by a young
boy named James Bond (yes, his real name is James Bond). The
park collected 20 Php per head and 50 Php for the vehicle.
There was a small number of crowd at the park.
Minalungao isn’t just for day tour but for overnight campers
too. You can spend a night with your friends or even your family within
its premises. Cottages were installed for rent (₱300-500 per day) and you can
bring a tent to shelter you in the evening. There is also a “roofed” raft
which you can lease for ₱1000/day
Tourist often visit here for picnic, swimming, fishing, cliff diving, and hiking. We had our first taste of river crossing using bamboo rafts, good
for 2 to 6 pax.
The entire place itself is captivating and picture-perfect
Gigantic limestone boulders are spread for you to climb. One of the rocky formation around the river is the mouth of the caves, where most of the caves are remain unexplored.
A five to ten minute trek to the
rocky walls near the river took us to the mouth of the cave.
We decided not to go too far because it was really dark inside the cave and we forgot to bring flashlight
We also climbed a huge rock formation in the middle of the
river and courageously jumped in the river. The experience was more of like
freeing yourself and letting all your worries out until you hit the water.
The river is quite deep. But when we entered that part
blocked with huge rocks and hills on both sides, the water became shallow.
With its emerald green waters, you couldn't resist the
river’s indirect invitation and you’ll be soon tempted to get wet. When this
happens, just give in!
The river was just so nice and refreshing that we were able to get the relaxation that we crave for. Its flowing cool water reminded us that sometimes we need to take a break from our busy lives in the metropolis.
The limestone walls are 16 meters high sculptured by nature itself, where visitors can relax, reflect and meditate in the serenity of the place.
True believer or mere nature lover, this is worth the visit.

great story, the rough road going to Minalungao is worth it love the view, interestingly the river is used by jeepney drivers to get clean. and the river can get deep when using an offroad vehicle you can get water at least up to ur seats.
