Since the world has facing a huge crisis now, it's good for us to list down some places that can refresh our minds and soul from being quarantined.

Nueva Ecija's Isolated Paradise


The Minalungao National Park in General Tinio, Nueva Ecija, Philippines is basically an isolated paradise because at first, you will think that this province is just surrounded by millions hectares of rice but, as you discover that it has also the ability to surprise you by one of its secret beautiful place.

Ride to a Secret

If you will gonna ride to this place from Manila through commute, it will take you atleast 4-5 hours but if you have your own vehicle, it is much more convenient and faster for you to get there and it will take you atleast 2-3 hours only.

Another, going there is a little bit challenging as you take off already in the said province because this park is surrounded by mountains so expect that before you get there, you will cross a bridge and rocky roads which is more exciting especially for adventurous people.
