Antipolo Home in the Heart of the City

Tweet

Antipolo, traditionally known as the Pilgrimage City of the Philippines, popular among contemplatives wishing to retreat from the hustle and bustle of downtown Manila.

Its locally grown mangoes and cashews are popular among tourists, as well as suman – a local delicacy made out of glutinous rice. The Hinulugang Taktak National Park, which was once a popular summer get-away is being restored to become again one of the city's primary attractions.

I joined last weekend the Vista Land Site Appreciation Tour in Antipolo, Rizal. 

Antipolo lies on part of the Sierra Madre mountain range, putting it at a significantly higher altitude than Manila.

This makes Antipolo a good place from which to view the metropolis. Its higher elevation than that of Metro Manila affords it a scenic view of the metropolis, especially at night. 

Antipolo City has become quite famous among tourists and expatriates, and has also become a preferred residential choice among artist types.
