Known as the “Pilgrimage Capital of the Philippines”, it draws thousands of devotees each year to the Antipolo Cathedral, which houses the venerated image of Our Lady of Peace and Good Voyage—a centuries-old icon carved from Mexican hardwood.
Beyond its spiritual significance, Antipolo offers panoramic views of Manila’s skyline, particularly from locations such as Cloud 9 View Deck and Pinto Art Museum, where contemporary Filipino art harmonizes with verdant gardens.
The city’s name comes from the tipolo tree, which was once abundant in the area, and its history stretches back to indigenous tribes and early Spanish missions.
Today, Antipolo seamlessly blends urban growth with rustic charm—featuring waterfalls like Hinulugang Taktak, eco-parks, and vibrant local markets.
Whether you are in search of contemplation, adventure, or a picturesque getaway, Antipolo invites you to rise above the hustle and rediscover the essence of the highlands.
