On the first day of 2014, I took a solo motorcycle ride as a “good luck ride” for the year ahead. I ended up finding a very nice waterfall not that far from the city. This relatively unknown waterfall that’s just an hour away from the Quezon City area is a promising weekend destination for motorcyclists and mountain bikers.
The waterfall can be found within the Palo Alto Leisure and Residential Estates in Brgy. Pinugay, Baras, Rizal. This 200 hectare prime residential and commercial estate is being developed by the Sta. Lucia Land Inc. They’re currently selling estate lots here, for those who want to invest in their retirement farms or country estate mansions not that far from the metro. But in the meantime, some of the attractions, including the falls and a clubhouse are open to the public.
It’s hard to miss since there’s actually a billboard advertising an adventure park right by the side of the road with a picture of a waterfall on it. I ignored this during previous rides, since I assumed the photo was of Daranak or Batlag Falls–two popular waterfalls in Rizal, which I’ve previously been to. There are no entrance fees if you just want to inquire or take a look at the facilities. Just leave an ID with the guard at the main gate, and follow the paved road to your preferred destination (falls or clubhouse).
The place is ideal for motorcyclists and road trippers who want to go swimming and have picnics during the weekends. By car or motorcycle, the drive takes about an hour or less from QC without traffic. For mountain bikers, it’s more of a challenge, with the uphill ascents, but at least they can relax and cool down after a tiring ride. The whole complex has very good paved roads and secure parking areas for all types of vehicles.
Second visit to Palo Alto: Went back to show the place to Outside Slacker & take better photos with SLR
Table of Contents
FALLS
From the parking area, you have to climb up 249 concrete steps to get to the foot of Palo Alto Falls, which is 1000 feet up. It sounds daunting at first, but really, it takes just about 5-8 minutes to get to the foot of the falls. Along the way, you’ll pass through thick forests beside a small stream, with water trickling down through the rocks. It’s very serene and peaceful, especially if you’re the only one there.
Soon enough, you’ll reach a set of native cottages surrounding the foot of the falls. The falls is still surrounded by lush trees and foliage and cascades down from about 60 feet high into a clear pool that has been cemented all around. The water here is very clean and clear, the grounds are well-maintained, and the place is really refreshing. What I like the most is its seclusion, unlike some other more popular waterfalls, which can get quite crowded. During my first visit, I was the only one there, so I had the falls all to myself. During my second visit to take photos, there were a few people swimming, but it didn’t feel crowded.
CLUBHOUSE
The other alternative (especially if you’re traveling with kids) is the leisure park’s clubhouse, which has a large resort-type swimming pool with winding water slides. The place looks very classy with landscaped gardens, relaxing lounge chairs, and a small bridge over the pool. There’s a large shower area with lockers and dressing rooms.
The clubhouse contains a game room where you can play billiards, table tennis, and darts. I spotted a videoke machine on the premises, so that’s probably for rent :p The clubhouse also contains a conference/function room for events, a zip line (over the pool), basketball court, and bike lane within the complex. The restaurant, snack bar & coffee shop are still in the works, so anyone who visits should make sure to bring their own food and snacks. Take note that alcoholic drinks are not allowed. There are several picnic huts for rent and grills where you can barbecue your own food by the pool.
If you didn’t bring food and want something to eat, you can visit Park, Rest & Dine, a small and eclectic restaurant, which is a short drive away from Palo Alto. Here’s a list of other resorts/restaurants along the route.
THIRD VISIT: Summer 2014
Went back with cousins (by car this time) for a summer picnic outing. The waterfalls was barely a trickle this time.

Been passing through too. Nice place for a swim.
Hey Tony. Yeah, nice place for kids too. Will return here with nephews and nieces for a swim sometime.
Good for a weekend getaway! 🙂
I love the part na ung paakyat ng stairs tapos may forest that is peaceful and serene. Ok din na may sports activity centers.. 🙂
I’ve been sneaking in and out, enjoying your blogs and picking up ideas for family get-aways.
Thought I’d drop a line just to thank you for sharing.
Tita Lili
PS. Keep writing. Keep biking.
Thanks for dropping by Tita Lili! Ako naman, I’ve been enjoying all your food shots on Instagram. Kakagutom!
Really nice especially if you’re walking through that forest alone 🙂
Yup, lots of places in the Sierra Madre area that are great for weekend getaways.
how to get there if we were just commuting, we are from caloocan…
Hi Chenneren. Sorry, never tried commuting there since I drive a motorcycle. Madalang ang jeeps. You can follow the commuting guide options posted here. Palo Alto is in Baras, Pinugay before you reach Sierra Madre Resort.

thanks for sharing this, Ms. Kara! akala ko din dati daranak falls yung nasa poster. we went there last weekend 🙂
Thanks for the detailed commuting guide, Jomar 🙂
You’re welcome, Mike.
Hi! Nice pictures! Very inviting! How to get there from Marcos Highway? and ilang hrs travel time going there? I need sana clear directions on how to get there by car. Hoping for your immediate response. Thank you very much!
Hi Drixx, thanks. I mentioned in the post that travel time there by car & motorcycle takes about an hour or less from QC without traffic. Just go straight along Marcos Highway, past Cogeo market and follow the road until you see the billboard on the right side of the road. It’s before you reach Garden Cottages or Sierra Madre Resort, if you’re familiar with those.
Hello po mr jomar, pano po naman kung pabalik? From palto to sakayan na ng jeep? Hehe thanks. We are planning po kasi to go there this saturday, may nagsabi po samin na parang walang way pabalik. Hope youll po respond asap, 😀
Hi mam kara, i’m an agent of palo alto, hope this will help how to get there by commuting:
from cubao take a ride going to cogeo gate 2 / padilla via jeep or fx. from gate 2 may sakayan po doon ng papuntang sampaloc, tanay (s may bandang palengke) mismong gate n po ksi ng palo alto kyo bababa. for more details you can email me. thank u & god bless
hi ms. johna, i’m mary ann, pabalik naman po, just wait for the jeep n nangaling sa sampaloc, tanay. medyo mahirap lang po ksi punuan n pagdatig sa palo alto especially pag dating ng 3 pm. so better to go there n may sasakyan po kyo. thanks & god bless.
mam,
ask ko lang po kung pwedeng walk-in lang o dapat magreservation pa. balak po namin pumunta dyan sa April 26, 2014.
thanks po
Hi Rosalie. Nag walk-in lang ako the three times I went there.
Hi Kara. Do you think there is still enough water to the falls at this time of the year? You said you went there last January, a wetter month than April. We plan to go this weekend… Thanks.
Hi Neil. I went again with relatives for a picnic mid-March and the water at the falls was barely a trickle, so you might be a little disappointed because it looks different from the poster. Ganun talaga pag summer months. You can still swim at the base of the falls though. We stayed in the clubhouse/pool area instead.
Bukas po ba to ng weekdays ?? Saka may mga hut po ba sa falls ?
Separate po ba ung bayad sa pool at falls ? Thank you 🙂
Yes, separate ang bayad for pool and falls. I included the rates in the post.
Yes. Bukas sila ng weekdays. There are huts/cottages for rent sa falls.
Are there any swimwear restrictions sa falls/clubhouse? What time do they open/close? thanks in advance..
Gudpm po, tanong lang po, pwde po bang mag dala ng sariling food?
Hi John, you can bring your own food pang picnic kasi wala pa silang restaurant though there’s a store selling chips and drinks (medyo mahal). May grill/ihawan dun sa pool area na pwedeng gamitin.
Open po ba kayo bukas??then anong oras po ang open ung sa falls for swimming..thanks
Ask ko lang for any contact # . Balak kasi namin pumunta these holyweek. thanks
Hi Kara, thanks for all this info about the hidden beauties of Rizal, just a question thou, you think Palo Alto is open next week, during holy week? Im planning of doing a road trip for the family.
Thanks,
Crissy

I do not own this resort. Please contact the managers of Palo Alto directly. I posted all the contact information.
I just passed there this morning and asked the guard. They’re open this Holy Week.
I added the contact numbers sa blogpost.
I do not own this resort. Please contact them directly for any inquiries. I included the numbers and operating hours in the blogpost.
Open daw.
According to a sign in their clubhouse, “proper swimwear is strictly required.” I added the operating hours to the post.
Nice post fellow from a fellow rider! Sarap naman po jan!
I’m inviting you to join us at http://www.facebook.com/ViaJista 😀
You think this resort or other resorts within the area will be open on Holy Thursday and Friday?
Thanks Raredog. I appreciate it. Just liked your page. Hope you can add https://www.facebook.com/TravelUp as well 🙂
Sure, nanginginig pa hehe. Thanks po! Hope to ride with you sometime.
Thank you very much! Ride safely!
how much po pag sa falls? thanks po.
Mahirap po ba talaga kapag pauwi pag nag commute . Salamat
ILANG FEET YUNG PANG KIDS NYO?SA MAY CLUBHOUSE
Hi Rachel. Estimate: kid’s pool is about 0-2 feet, while regular pool ranges from 4-5 feet. P.S. I do not own this resort.
hi Kara, is the palo alto the same as the daranak falls?
Hi Rob. Palo Alto is different from Daranak Falls. Here’s a photo of Daranak & Batlag Falls in Tanay, Rizal. This post is about Palo Alto Falls in Baras, Rizal. I also thought the billboard/poster before was of Daranak, but it’s not.
Ah reminds me of the Davao Philippines mabuhay!
Info lang po 150 Na po ung entrance s clubhouse..gud day
Thanks for the info, Kay.
yung sa falls po gano po kalalim? is it the same po ba sa daranak falls na mabato? thank you.
Hindi siya mabato since they cemented the basin/pool. Gradual ang lalim towards the falls, mga 3-5 feet probably.
I’m from Commonwealth QC how to visit the place using public vehicle?
Thanks
Please read the comments section. An agent from Palo Alto already gave instructions how to commute to the place. Ride a jeep or FX from Cubao to Cogeo Gate 2 / Padilla. From Gate 2, ride a jeep to Sampaloc, Tanay. Get down at Palo Alto gate.
good am!
pde dn po ba dumaan kami ng tanay kasi dun ung mas kabisado q n daan…
Pwede po dumaan ng tanay pero mas malayo po ang ikot kng dto kyo mangagaling sa marcos hiway.
Hi, Ms. Erick, pwede po dumaan ng tanay via tanay raod, 21 kms. with ur own car. Klangan po kabisado nyo ang way para d kyo maligaw.
Kng magcommute, sakay muna ng papuntang sampalok tanay, 3 kms. Then from sampaloc take cogeo gate 2 jeep, 22 kms. dadaan n po ito ng palo alto gate.
good day mam! may alam po ba kayong daan from antipolo area to palo alto? commute lang sana kami, and more of walktrip, ask ko lang din kung possible bang way from baras (babaan ng jeep from antipolo) to palo alto kung maglalakad kami? or kung may masasakyan man po? We called the tourism office po kasi ang sabi eh wala daw naglalakad sa area na yun and mas advisable daw ang may kotse, kaso we were only two students na daytrip lang ang hanap and preferred and walktrip. thanks po for the reply!.
Hi Nikki. I think you should take the advice of the tourism office 🙂 Unless of course “The Walking Dead” ang peg niyo for your walktrip. Medyo malayo yan. There are lots of other areas you can go to. Why don’t you try a walking tour around Pinto Art Museum in Antipolo? 🙂 They have a special rate for students. Just bring your ID. Ok din ang walking tour and food trip in Binondo.
Yes mam. Unang destination namin yung for the day yung pinto art. so kung sakali po mam, possible pa din pong maglakad? wala naman pong nagbabawal? 🙂 and how long po kaya ang daan? 🙂 THANKS MAM KARA.
It really makes more sense to commute or have your own transpo. It might take you a really long time to walk. By motorcycle, that takes about 1 hour. Kahit sa mga nagbibiseklata papunta diyan, it takes 2.5 – 3 hours depending on the pace. Anyway, here’s a map from Pinto Art Gallery to Palo Alto kung gusto niyo talaga maglakad. Est. 27 km. Why not just walk to the other sites in the Antipolo area like Hinulugang Taktak, churches, Jardin de Miramar, etc. 🙂 Just a friendly suggestion.
Ay mam, what I mean is walk from babaan ng jeep ng Antipolo-Baras, from Baras na po kami maglalakad to Palo Alto. yun po sana gagawin namin 🙂 sorry for the unclear question mam 🙂
Hi Nikki. Good to know that you won’t be walking all the way :p Please follow the commuting guide & read the rest of the comments section on how to get there by public transpo. Yes, you can walk from the gate of Palo Alto to the clubhouse and falls.
Hi Kara,
I’m looking for a virgin place for swimming this coming April in Rizal area and I was hooked up on your blog. This place is very interesting!
Anyway, do you still have idea if they are giving the same rate this year? Have you been here lately? Is there any changes with the place?
Please let me know. Thank you in advance! 😉
Hi Khate. This place has become somewhat popular the past year. The last time I was here was summer last year, but I believe the rates are still the same. You can check their official FB page for more recent photos.
Hi Miss Kara! i was just wondering, are there a lot of people coming by lately? I mean, kung crowded ba yung place palagi? And btw po, great blog!
Hi Jam, during my previous visits, the place wasn’t crowded at all, but it’s become more popular since then. I’m not sure how it is during Holy Week. They’ll be open from April 1-5, so I guess they’re expecting a lot of guests. You could try inquiring via their FB page.
Okay thanks so much!
hello, my water pba dun waterfalls?think ds is a gud place for our family outing ds wkend 🙂
Hi Aydi. Usually, mahina ang tubig pag summer months.
goodpm. itatanong ko lang po sana kung ano po mas crowded na araw weekdays po ba o weekends ? balak po kasi nmen pumunta, eh marami kasi kame. eh mas maganda kung hindi gaanong marami yung tao.
pano rin po pala magpareserve ng cottage?
From my experience, most resorts are crowded on weekends especially now that it’s summer. Sked niyo trip niyo ng Monday or Tuesday para siguardo. Try contacting: 0917-5573190 (their new number listed on their Facebook Page) for inquiries and reservations.
hi?Mga magkano yung pamasahe na magagastos? simula cubao?ty
Hi kara, ok ba ang falls kahit summer, i mean not dried up? And do they accept non-residents? Thanks so much.
April
Hi April. Medyo tuyo yung falls pag summer months lalo na ngayon na sobrang init. Yes, it’s open to the public.
Hey!
I just wanted to say na you have a very nice blog! Thank you for giving us the necessary details for going there. You’re very helpful! Keep up the awesome work and please do share more of your discoveries with everyone!
Cheers!
Hi! I’d like to bring my family this month here. Would you know if maganda pa rin yung falls? Do you mean sa Summer 2014 post mo na halos wala ng tubig? I would really like my daughters to experience waterfalls pero yung hindi naman mahirap puntahan. Kasi I myself am not a very active person and I’ll be bringing a 5 month old baby pa. I hope you have time to give me feedback in time for the occassion we’re planning for. Thanks!
Hi Celine. The water at the falls wasn’t really strong when I visited in Summer 2014. Haven’t been there this year, but I’m assuming hindi malakas yung tubig especially now that it’s really hot. A lot of the really nice waterfalls I know require some hiking to get to and are usually crowded during summer, which might be difficult for you since you’re traveling with an infant. I would suggest indoor resorts like Ace Water Spa (which has a man-made waterfall) or private swimming pools like Luljetta’s Hanging Gardens and Spa in Antipolo, where you can enjoy the place to yourself. These are also more accessible with family-friendly amenities.
Thanks for the advise 🙂
Hi Ms. Kara Ask ko lang po kung paano pumunta ng Palo Alto from Taytay.. at ilang oras po ung magiging byahe.. private vehicle po kami 🙂
waiting for your response .. asap
Nice place! Do they allow cyclists to bring their bikes with them up to the falls? Or at least the cottages? 🙂
Hi Roegan, there’s no hiking or bike trail going up to the waterfalls. The cottages are right beside the falls. It’s 249 concrete stairs up, some parts of which are steep. Technically, you could probably carry your bike up if you really wanted to. Or you could just park & lock your bike by the gated entrance near the stairs 🙂 Check out this post on biking to waterfalls by Outside Slacker.
Hi Ms. Kara,
Nag ooffer po ba sila ng overnight?
HI,
I’m just wondering if there’s new contact number for Palo Atlo.
I tried to call their number. 0949-8677021 and 0917-5573190 but the number is no longer active. However, 0905-5154778 is just ringing. Thank you appreciate your help.
Hello Chuchay. Yes, please check the travel tips & useful info section at the end of my post. I included overnight details there.
Hi Tracy. Those were all the numbers I could find before. Maybe you can try contacting them through their FB page.

Hi Jomar. Opo, makikita yung malaking billboard ng Palo Alto sa daan pagkalagpas ng Park, Rest & Dine at bago makarating sa Garden Cottages look out point. Picture ni Bea Alonzo na yung nasa bagong billboard.
Do you allow pets?
Hi Karen. I don’t own the place so I’m not sure. Kindly inquire directly at Palo Alto. I included their contact numbers and FB page in the post.

Can they accommodate around 10 pax in a room? and how much?
regards
Hi Enrico, please contact Palo Alto management directly. I don’t think the clubhouse has rooms for overnight stays.
pwede po kaya walk in overnight swimming
very helpful.. thanks a lot for this.
looking forward for more blog like this.
God bless!
Hello kara! 🙂 Thank you for the information 🙂 Is it allowed to bring our dog with us? We can’t afford to leave him at home. He will stay in the cottage 🙂 Just for instance. Thank you so much
sayang lang bawal ang liquor.
Hi MJ, maybe the resort wants to keep the place a family-friendly place 🙂
Hi Kier, I’m not sure if pets are allowed here. Please contact them directly to inquire. I’ll try to compile a list of pet-friendly resorts one of these days 🙂
Hi Kara! what is the possible accommodation lalo na if mag oovernight? meron bang mga room na pwede irent?
In Palo Alto itself, walang rooms for rent that I know of unless you camp out overnight. If you have your own transpo, the nearest resort/hotel would be Sierra Madre Resort or Ten Cents to Heaven which both have their own swimming pools. I just wrote about another resort with a manmade lagoon and waterfall in Tanay that has different room accommodations for overnight stays called Momarco Resort.
Just found out that they have villas for rent now for P3,500/night (good for 4 pax with entrance fee). You can also stay overnight at the Clubhouse. P250 per person minimum of 30 pax + P700 cottage. First come first served. Added info to the post.
Hi miss kara, mag pupunta kase kame dun bukas. Just wanna ask kung anong mga cottage ang meron sa waterfalls? And kung malamok po ba. Kasama ko kase baby ko. Salamat!
Hi Lei, meron naman pong small cottages for rent dun malapit sa waterfalls. Cottage rate is P500 – P700 (good for 10 – 20 persons). Hindi naman po malamok nung pumunta ako, pero dala na rin po kayong insect repellent to be safe.
wala ba silang room for 2 persons lang? and magkano? thank u
Hi Ms. Kara. All numbers in your post are cannot be reached. Can we go there even without reservation?
thanks
Liezel
No. According to the management, reservations are required if you want to stay overnight.
You’re welcome, Raqz.
Hi Kier, checked with the management. It’s ok to bring house pets as long as they’re in a cage/carrier. I updated the post regarding pets.
Hi, Mary Ann Cruz, I would like to know the rates of the clubhouse? as a venue for an event. thanks
Thanks for sharing this travel story! I hope we can join some of your riding travels someday 🙂
would you know if they allow birthday parties with catering in their function hall? Thank you.
Hi Leah, I’ve seen a wedding reception there, so yeah, they probably allow birthday parties. Please inquire directly for rates though. I put the contact info in the post. 🙂
Hi! I just wanna ask. Open po ba ang Palo Alto Resort this Jan.1? Will be waiting for your reply. Tnx!
Hi Chammy, I am not connected with Palo Alto. Please contact them directly. I included the contact info and their FB page on this post.
Hello Ms. Kara! I just wanna ask if it’s safe to go there alone. I’ll be commuting lang from Cubao. Anyway, thanks for the info.
Hi Shan, I’ve gone here several times alone by motorcycle. Safe naman. Haven’t ever tried commuting though.
Hello Ms. Kara, tanong lang po everyday po ba open yung falls or every weekend lng pwede mag swimming? Thanks
Open naman everyday. Please contact them directly for other inquiries.
pano kami makakapagpa reserved ng room para sa 5 tao
Wala silang rooms for rent. Cottages for day trip lang. Please contact them directly. Andun po yung contact info sa dulo ng article.
open ba sila on wednesday? nung last na punta kasi namin closed sila for cleaning daw.
Hi Carlo, mas ok kung i-contact mo sila directly to inquire. Andyan yung contact info nila sa dulo ng article. Sinulat ko lang yung experience ko pag punta dun ng 2014.
Im from antipolo rizal. If i want to get there do I really need to go to cogeo gate 2? Before I can get there? Because if I’m not mistaken baras is near to tanay and tanay is far from cogeo. So what is the right way to go to alto? Pls let us know.
hi good day malayo po ba kayo sa antipolo church mga ilang rides po from church??
Hello Abbie. I have not tried getting here by public transport. Please read the “how to get there” section.
Hello Wilma, this was the public transpo route suggested by an agent of Palo Alto. I usually just drive there. In the Sierra Madre area (Marilaque) the towns of Baras and Tanay are next to each other. Palo Alto is about 45 minutes away from Cogeo by motorcycle whenever I drive in the area.
so based on your post, is it right for me to conclude na hindi ganon ka-amazing ang falls kapag summer pumunta kase barely a trickle lang ang water nito? Parang hindi worth the visit naman yata kung yung falls talaga ang main attraction for me to go there if ever…
Hi Marie. Baka ma-disappoint ka lang sa falls kung yun lang pupuntahan mo ng tag-init. Pero kung habol mo swimming and bonding with friends tapos dun kayo sa pool area, ok lang naman. Warning: mas maraming tao pumumpunta pag summer for swimming and picnics, so minsan nagiging crowded na din siya.
Hi mam kaya po b ng tryckle paunta dun sa palo alto ask q lng po sa tanay kmi dadaan
Hi po Ms. Kara, ask ko lang po if meron po kayong updated na number nila. Kase we’re planning to have a team outing / bonding this May 20, e I need to reserved for the overnight stay at Clubhouse.
