DARANAK FALLS
Tanay, Rizal
Height: 14 meters
Jump off point: Brgy. Plaza Aldea, Municipality of Tanay
Trail length: 5 minutes
Entrance fee: P20.00
Following the Manila East Road, a fork ensues: take the left turn – it is a fast lane to Laguna. From Antipolo, Tanay is a one-hour drive. The turning point is 3 kilometers from the start of Brgy. Plaza Aldea (a sign marks the spot). From there is another 0.5 km of driving; parts of the road are not cemented. There is ample parking space at the park entrance; you may also rent cottages for P150 each. A five-minute walk will take you to the much-cleaner, grander Daranak Falls. Like Hinulugang Taktak, it has a wide cascade, plunging into a catchbasin where you can swim (a rope attempts to create a boundary where to swim and where not to, but it is violated anyway). The waterfall is flanked with beautiful rivers and ponds which add to the paradise-like setting of the place. It has been the site of several TV commercials and pictorials in the past.
If without private transportation, you may hire a tricycle from the Tanay market to take you to Daranak Falls and back. Usual prices play around P300.

I love Daranak Falls it's accessible and you'll also find another falls uphill the Batlag falls. I also wrote about it in my blog

I visited this place last Nov 18, 2009. It was actually a side trip I insisted we make with two of my mountain bike buddies. We came from Calinawan cave. Was completely blown away and amazed. The water was turqoise and better than the pic shown above. Too bad we were pressed for time. Otherwise, I would've love to see the other falls nearby (Batlag).
hi po mga sir/mam. Ask ko lang po kung paano pumunta sa daranak falls from Binangonan? May public transportation din po ba from tanay to manila? Plan po kasi naming pumunta sa daranak falls after ng Tagapo climb namin. Salamat po.
