My second time to go to Daranak Falls and it still fascinates me. Daranak falls can be found at the foot of Tanay mountains in Brgy. Sampaloc, Tanay, Rizal. To get there, from Tanay Market, you can either rent a jeepney or trike or if you're a little adventurous, you can ride a jeepney bound to Sampaloc and alight on the street with the signange "To Daranak Falls" at the left side of the road, and from there you can walk until you reach the end of the road where the entrance of Daranak Falls.
A fee of P20 per person is charged which I think is worth since the premise is very well-maintained. Upon entering, you will cross a river by a not so hanging bridge (hehe) and from there, you will already hear the rush of the falling water and the sound of people enjoying the . There are cottages, restrooms, shower rooms and even a store inside for your convenience.
The place is pristine. Tall trees surrounds the area. And the falls is like heaven's curtain brought down on earth. It really looked like those places in fairyland or for us Filipinos the most closest comparison is the Engkantadya in 'Okay ka Fairy ko!' TV series. That's why I wouldn't be surprise if this location will be use for fantasy TV series or movies with the same theme.
It's interesting to know that Daranak come from tagalog word "dumaranak" which means flowing. But instead of dumaranak they used daranak to shortened the name.
