Mt. Maynoba/Maynuba was an instant hit from its opening as a hiking destination in early 2016. Easy enough to do in a few hours – and reachable from Metro Manila by private transport in an hour or two, this mountain at the foothills of the Sierra Madre in Tanay, Rizal offers breathtaking views of the Sierra Madre mountains, and enough variety in the trail to sustain one’s interest throughout the loop hike – from a steep, forested ascent up the so-called “Mt. Cayabu” (which is actually more of a subsidiary peak of Maynoba), a grassy, open trek at the higher reaches, and a descent through woodland that culminates in a small river system with a good number of waterfalls.
Event Fee is 750/pax

The Climb
This is my second event to join the climb of Team Maligayang ahon...we arrived at Barangay cayabu at pass 4 in the morning and started to trek around 04:30am...pero syempre bago kami nag simula umakyat nag karoon ng short breifing and we pray para mag silbing gabay namin....
Heto yung unang tanawin na nakita ko ng magliwanag na bago kami makarating sa summit ng Mt.Cayabu...grabe naging maulan ang araw na yun kaya naman sobrang dulas ng mga dinadaanan...
Oha ng maka ahon kami sa first Assault(hindi pa po summit yan 1st peak pa lng po) heto ang tanawin na bumungad sa amin...dba kahit na nakakapagod ang pag akyat kapag ganyan naman ang nakita mong tanawin eh talaga nga namang mawawala :)
The Summit of Mt.Cayabu....in fairness naka ilang take 5 lang ako compare dun sa climb namin sa Mt.Maculot haha nag iimprove...well talagang ganun hindi naman dapat palaging nasa huli kailangan din manguna hehe :)...
Going to Mt.Maynoba....hahahaha may pa stolen shots pa si sir Vien...
sa sobrang haba ng lakaran habang nakikita ko kung gaano pa kalayo ang aming aakyatin naisipan kong tumalikod para tignan kung ano ang nasa likod...Woooow heto mas maganda in personal yung view..."hindi lahat ng tinatalikuran ay pangit"at"may mga bagay talaga na akala natin na hindi natin kayang gawin....pero kapag sinubukan natin at tinignan kung nagawa ba natin napaka ganda pala ng mga napag daanan at kaya pala natin itong gawin"hehe hugot ba??? de yan lang yung mga bagay na narialize ko sa pag balik tanaw ko...
Road to summit...Hello Mam Daph hehe...dito na nagsimula yung unli assault eh napakatarik at putik ng mga ndinadaanan...
Tadaaa!!! napaka dungis ko dba hahaha Yan na yung Summit...hahaha finally nauna rin kaya nakauna rin makapag pa pic..huhu pero sabi ng tour guide may highest peak pa daw Yung Mt. Maynoba...pero keribels feel ko napaka lakas ko pa at kaya pang umakyat ng mga anim na bundok (haha joke lng po)
Highest peak of Mt.Maynoba yeah hahaha sayang ang view ganda sana walang Clearing eh...pero ok lng hihi :)...dna nakapag pic masyado maulan kase...After namin sa highest peak nag simula na kami mag explore sa 8 Wonder Falls :)...naging mas mahirap ang pagbaba dahil talagang napaka dulas ng daan...may isang parte ng trail na napahinto kami at sabi ng guide sa part na yun mga magaganda at gwapo daw ang nadudulas...hahahha pero sa kabutihang palad at sa hindi sinasadyang pangyayari nadulas ako huhu dko alam kung ano magiging reaction ko eh haha...
The Falls...(yung ibang pic kuha ni sir emman hehe)talaga naman nakaka refresh maligo sa mga falls na ito malinis,malamig ang tubig at talagang nakaka refresh...mula simula hanggang dulo dko na feel na Solo Joiner lng ako..."minsan maging kuntento lng tayo sa mga taong kasama natin mag eenjoy na tayo"
Another Successful climb team....more climbs to come Thank You and God Bless !!!!
