Mount Purro Nature Reserve

About this Escape

Mount Purro Nature Reserve in Rizal is a delightful escape from the bustling city, embraced by the lush foothills of the Sierra Madre Mountain Range. As I set up camp here, I felt an immediate sense of tranquility, surrounded by towering trees and the gentle sounds of nature. This family-run eco-park spans a generous area, making it perfect for those seeking a rustic camping experience while embracing sustainable living. The atmosphere is warm and inviting, with eco-friendly cottages made from bamboo and anahaw, blending seamlessly into the landscape. After settling in, I took a moment to soak in the stunning views and breathe in the fresh mountain air. The reserve's commitment to reforestation and community empowerment, initiated by the inspiring Alberto "Toto" Malvar, adds to its charm. Here, I felt like I was part of something bigger, contributing to the preservation of our environment. As night fell, I relished the opportunity to sleep under the stars, the sky illuminated by countless twinkling lights. The cool breeze and rustling leaves created a soothing lullaby that was impossible to resist. In the early morning, I awoke to the cheerful songs of various birds, including the enchanting Philippine pygmy woodpecker, ready to explore the trails that wind through this vibrant sanctuary. If you're looking for a peaceful getaway that combines nature, community, and comfort, Mount Purro Nature Reserve is the perfect destination. Whether you're camping with family or friends, this eco-park invites you to create memories while reconnecting with the beauty of the earth.
