This adventure happened last April 2014 during our high school batch get together in Minalungao National Park which was in the process of becoming famous in Nueva and started gaining popularity among travelers/adventure seekers that year. And today, after two years, Minalungao National Park has already developed as an eco-adventure park that offered adventure attractions and has been on the top list as tourist destination and consistent number one in the bucket list of all travel adventurer in the Central Luzon.

Minalungao National Park is located in the Municipality of General Tinio, Nueva Ecija on the foothills of the wide-ranging Sierra Madre Mountain, just under four hours away from the capital Manila. It is usually compared and usually called El Nido of Nueva Ecija because of its meters-high rock limestones formations as seen mostly in Palawan. It has a total land area of 2,018 hectares.

Memories of Minalungao

I just happened to find photos from our get-together trip in Minalungao National Park, Nueva Ecija two years ago which brought my memories of Nueva Ecija to the surface again.

That is why one of my favorite’s things about taking photographs is the ability to relive your experiences through the photos.

It’s such a majestic place, I manage to fall in love with Minalungao even only I spent a day with it. I will definitely return to Minalungao and fall in love with it all over again.
