How to Get There
For Public Transportation: At the EDSA- Shar Crossing, ride a UV express (70 pesos) or a jeepney (57 pesos) to Tanay, Rizal. The trip would take you 1.5 hours.
Upon arriving the Tanay market, ride a tricycle (120/person but you can haggle) to Barangay Daraitan.
For Private Vehicles: Head out to Marcos Highway and follow through the Tanay-Infanta Road. Make a left turn to the rough road that leads to Brgy. Daraitan, and park just before the river which used to be connected by a wooden bridge. Cross the river following 3-4 on the ‘Public’ section above. Parking is available before the river crossing.
