Not all natural tourist spots are situated in the far north and south of Luzon – for folks living in or near Metro Manila, the UCM Adventure Park in San Mateo, Rizal lets you experience the great outdoors through their camping sites, ATV rentals, and horseback-riding activities.
So whether you just want a change of scenery away from your home or want some thrills, there’re a lot of things to do at the park. It’s also conveniently situated on the hilly side of San Mateo, giving you panoramic views of the bustling urban cities nearby.

For families, groups of friends, and couples looking forward to taking a breather, the park has a camping site that offers tent rentals starting at an affordable rate of P1,000 (~USD20.96, good for 4 persons). But aside from their tent rentals, you can also have the choice to sleep with a view of Metro Manila inside their camper trailer (P6,000, ~USD125.80) good for two.
