Hamaka Parks (Along the National Road, Antipolo City)
Named after the term “hamaka” or hammock, this was the means of transporting ladies to the pilgrimage site of Nuestra Señora dela Paz y Buenviaje (Our Lady of Peace and good Voyage). The hammock was borne by two men who would hike up and down the hilly terrain of Antipolo with their precious cargo comfortably settled in the hamaka.
Wawa Dam (Bgy. Wawa, Rodriguez, Rizal)
Wawa Dam is located at the foothills of the Sierra Madre Mountains. It supplies water to Novaliches passing through large pipes. It has a gorge, which lies between two limestone mountains and through this passes the upper Marikina River. Four caves are visible on the way to the dam. These caves are said to have been inhabited by the Japanese soldiers during the Second World War. A historical marker can be found at the entrance of one of the caves, in memory of the Japanese soldiers.
