Is the water deep in the Minalungao National Park river?
There is a shallow part of the river where tourists are allowed to swim. There is also a part where the water is only up to the knees.
Reminder
My reminder to everyone who wants to go to the park is to wear a life vest for your protection because they prohibit you from swimming if you are not wearing one. Because there are areas in the river that are really deep so they just keep you safe. You can rent a life vest in the area for only 200 pesos
The emerald water of the river is dark brown in the rainy season. It’s good to go to Minalungao National Park in summer because you can really see the beautiful color of the water.
One of the things I like about it is discovering the big rocks where you walk over them until you reach the paved path. You still have to be careful when walking because we cannot avoid accidents.

On your way to Minalungao National Park, the road is quite difficult to pass because it is not paved yet. I can’t say that everything is paved, but when you actually go to the park, the road is quite difficult.

From Manila, your trip to Minalungao National Park will take 3 to 5 hours. This place is not very far, it is just close to the City. If you have your own car, it’s easy to access on waze.
We used this waze to track down this park and it did not disappoint us and arrived on time. Waze has helped us a lot, so for those who want to travel to the park, don’t be afraid to use it.
