Inday Nelly Mystical Cave

Cultural Heritage

This interesting large cave is just about 20+kms from Manila at the lower portion of Antipolo. It is being maintained by Inday Nelly who bought the large parcel of land (450+ hectares) where the cave is located back in 1970. The cave was "developed for site seeing." Steps were constructed at the cave entrance, the cave floor was filled with earth to level it substantially and rudimentary electric lighting was introduced into the cave for the tourists. It is a very good destination for educational field trips.
Pecem Eco Park

Cultural Heritage

Pacem Eco-Park was established by Assumption Antipolo to raise concern for the environment among students, teachers and staff, parents and visitors to the school, by providing them with an experience of the beauty of nature and the opportunity to reflect on the importance of ecological security to the survival of our planet. Situated within the campus of Assumption Antipolo, the park is a major component of the school environmental education efforts. It features an eco-center, a mini-forest, a wildlife sanctuary, an aviary and a pond.
St. Michaell Retreat House

Cultural Heritage

St. Michael Retreat House was first called The Pentecost House. It was established by the Archdiocese of Manila for Cursillo classes with the view of forming Christian leaders. In 1972, when less and less Cursillo classes were being held, retreats and recollections organized by various parish-mandated organizations were accepted. In 1984, the management decided to change the name of the House and named it after St. Michael, the Archangel (The Archangel who led the angel host into battle, free from danger and affliction, from every hidden fault, and from every illness). Aptly called, St. Michael Retreat House is a shelter for people who genuinely seek God in silence.The House became known and continues to expand as lay people grow in their retreats and recollection, formation sessions and conferences.
Camp Explore

Cultural Heritage

ACamp Explore's Forest Camp can be found in the Mount Purro Nature Reserve, which is nestled at the foot of the Sierra Madre Mountain ranges and part of the Marikina Watershed. One of the main goals and advocacies of the camps is for the campers to appreciate the beauty and benefits of nature through first-hand experiences. Camp Explore believes that if campers learn to appreciate nature, they would be interested to learn more about it and do something to show their care and concern for the environment.
Phillip's Sanctuary

Cultural Heritage

Phillip's Sanctuary is tucked in the mountains of Antipolo. It's a 12 hectare property owned by the Pesta'o family. It's a perfect venue for team building activities, picnics, retreats, company outings, school field trips & parties!

Jardin De Miramar

Cultural Heritage

Jardin de Miramar—as the place is called—hosts parties, receptions and other functions in its lush multi-level gardens landscaped by Tony Leano with stately royal palms and serenity waterfalls. Hammocks strung between tall trees tempt visitors to laze an afternoon away with a good book or a nap, lulled by the soothing sounds of water and the wind rustling through the trees. A unique feature is a 30-foot boat, reconstructed from an actual 50-year-old fishing boat used by the owner's family in their deep sea fishing business- The Angelica was retired and some of its wood was used to build the "Noah's Ark" in the Galera section of the garden, which also features a lighthouse, totem poles and a marine-themed metal sculpture by Ed Castrillo. Dramatic lighting was done by renowned lighting designer Shoko Matsumoto, who also designed the Santa House.
