These days, a lot of city folk want a taste of the laid-back provincial life. When life gets too hectic in the metro, just heading somewhere you can float on a bamboo raft, enjoy simple home-cooked meals and see stunning natural sights can be just what you need to re-energize for the work week ahead. One of the fastest-rising destinations to offer this kind of experience near Manila is Minalungao National Park in Nueva Ecija.

The word Minalungao was derived from the words Mina meaning mine and Lungao which is a local word for cave. It’s been a few years since photos of this destination started circulating on social media and has since become very popular with the weekend crowds. Locals say before the park was “discovered,” not a lot of tourists visited the province of Nueva Ecija. This natural sight put the once sleepy province on the map. The best time to visit to see the emerald green waters is around summer time. It rained before our visit, so we weren’t able to see the place in its full glory.  Read More:  https://www.traveling-up.com/travel-guide-minalungao-national-park-nueva-ecija/

Minalungao is like a well kept secret mostly known to the people in Nueva Ecija.  It is best reached using a 4×4 wheel drive or a large vehicle.  Locals however, have used tricylces but the bumpy and unpaved roads could make the travel a lot longer.  It takes about 45 minutes to an hour from the city of Gapan, and one has to consider the muddy road.

Minalungao was declared a national park in 1967.  The park has a river which local folks use to transport firewood, coal and other local produce.  One can also see local women washing clothes by the river banks, water buffalo swimming in its crystal clear waters or children simply enjoying the cool, flowing water.  The deeper portions of the river has about 16 meters of limestone walls on both sides leading to a cave. Locals are easily available to guide any adventurer wishing to enter the cave.  One need not worry about locals overcharging any tourist.  The local government support also paved the way for the construction of some walkways, make shift bridge and raft to make the place more accessible.
