Mabini Escapade
ATV Ride, Camping and Hike in Rizal (with nieces)!
Rarely do I join a group travel but this one is special...
I was with my nieces.
Me, Alea, Angelie, Marky |
Last January 2021, with the arduous planning made by my niece Counselor Angelie Villegas, we were able to book an ATV ride, camping and hike in Rizal.
The ATV Adventure was in Antipolo, Rizal (ATV Adventures Rizal).
- Sapinit Road Barangay San Juan, Antipolo, Rizal
- SMART: +63 908 894 0771
GLOBE: +63 977 750 2671 - Monday to Sunday: 6AM – 5PM
We left Tanauan, Batangas around 4 am and around 5:30 am, we were already in the site.
We were given the tutorial on how to use the ATV and some lectures on the actual ATV ride and thereafter, off we went to our adventure.

The Road Trip to Legazpi City
This is my first travel in 2021. Jeju Island was my first travel in 2020 and Georgia was my first travel in 2019. This year I have to settle for a local travel due to the pandemic.
It was my childhood dream to have a road trip to Bicol and after so many years it came to life in 2021 (amidst the pandemic) and I think I STARTED THE YEAR RIGHT! =)
Anyway, on with the blog.
The trip only entailed a little bit of planning since it is a local trip. so I googled the place and the requirements for the tour.
My friend Rico was kind enough to accompany me in this tour. I could not have made this possible without him (taga gising pag inaantok na ako sa driving).
We left Tanauan City past 8:30 pm. We endured the heavy rain, the slippery and numerous potholes in the road, and the intermittent sleepiness while driving. We arrived in Legazpi City 5:30 am. Our lodging was worth P2,200.
The following morning, Rico and I hired the ATV adventure ride (Bicolandia Adventure - 0936 938 7586). Normally, the adventure is worth P1,850 but we were given a discount and we paid P1,600 only per pax. The adventure was good for 3 hours.
After passing through the rough terrains and boulder-riddled rivers, we arrived after 40 minutes at the basepoint.
